Seth Rollins Injury: Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania XL Partner Set for a Longer Hiatus Than Expected?

Roman Reigns‘ arch-rival, and Cody Rhodes‘ Shield from this year’s WrestleMania XL, Seth Rollins stood as the MVP in Philadelphia this year. After battling two nights continuously, and losing everything he had, Rollins still came out as the main man of the night.

However, recent reports revealed The Messiah suffered a much more tragic fate that night apart from losing his gold. Fresh out from a knee injury, Rollins fought at WrestleMania XL, after his status seemed hazy for some time. However, while fighting his battles at ‘Mania, Rollins suffered another major injury.

What injury did Seth Rollins suffer during WrestleMania XL?

In The Late Late Show interview, Seth Rollins’ wife Becky Lynch revealed a sad update about her husband. Speaking in the interview, ‘The Man’ revealed that Seth Rollins wrestled both nights of WrestleMania XL with a torn meniscus.

When asked about how they took care of their toddler while managing their careers, Lynch shared the injury news. She said, “Well, he just got surgery on Tuesday. He had knee surgery, he tore his meniscus a little while before WrestleMania.”

Completely unknown till this point in time, Lynch revealed how dedicated and passionate Rollins is toward his career and WWE. Suffering from a serious meniscus injury, Seth Rollins fought during the main-event of Night 1, and again opened the Night 2 show.

Despite losing his gold, Rollins made sure to stand in Rhodes’ corner and help him defeat Roman Reigns during the Night 2 main event. The Rock himself cited Rollins as the MVP of WrestleMania XL, and rightfully so he deserves every bit of that praise.

When will Seth Rollins return to WWE?

Previously reported to be on a hiatus of around 4 weeks, Rollins’ absence may now be longer. A typical torn meniscus recovery takes around six to nine months, and fans can expect The Visionary to be absent for this period.

Seth Rollins is deserving of a well-earned break, however, going out with an injury might not have been the expected way. The former WWE Heavyweight Champion can now utilize this time to recover and get back in better health and shape.

When Rollins returns, there might be plenty of challenges awaiting him. From Damien Priest to Drew McIntyre, and even CM Punk, Rollins will have a lot on his plate when he gets back.

We wish Seth Rollins a speedy and good recovery.
