Seth Rollins injury status
Becky Lynch recently appeared on The Late Late Show, where Becky Lynch provided an update on her husband, Seth Rollins. Becky revealed that The Visionary underwent knee surgery on Tuesday. Lynch said that Rollins torn his meniscus before WrestleMania.
Becky Lynch said,
“So, he just got surgery on Tuesday. So he had knee surgery, he tore his meniscus a little while before WrestleMania and so his rehab, I suppose, is running after being a little three years old now. That’ll be great for his knee surgery.”
Seth Rollins WWE return timeline revealed
Following that Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Rollin’s return depends on how intense his injury is and what procedure is required. He said that if his knees require an extensive reconstruction , Rollins could be absent for approximately eight months. However if he requires only invasive procedure, he might lead to a speedier recovery and would be back in action in 2 to 3 months.
However there isn’t any official information on the actual timeline of his return or how worse his injury is. This timeline is purely based on the speculation based on the current information. We need to wait until there is a detailed update.
We wish Seth Rollins a speedy recovery and hope he gets back to the business as soon as possible, stronger and dominating than ever.
