The WWE Superstar’s latest comments shed light on the severity of his injury, which occurred during the highly-anticipated match against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel.
A Brutal Encounter at Crown Jewel
In the aftermath of Crown Jewel, it was reported that Seth Rollins suffered a significant injury during his match against Cody Rhodes. The bout, which saw Rhodes emerge victorious, was marked by intense physicality and a series of high-impact moves. Now, Rollins has spoken out about the injury, providing fans with a glimpse into the severity of his condition and the road to recovery.
The Details of the Injury
According to Rollins, the injury occurred during a particularly intense sequence of events in the match. “It was a combination of a few factors,” Rollins explained. “The way Cody was moving, the way I was trying to counter his moves, and the impact of the landing all combined to put my shoulder in a pretty bad spot.” He went on to describe the pain he experienced immediately after the match, stating, “It was like someone had taken a hammer to my shoulder and was twisting it back and forth.”
A Lengthy Recovery Ahead
While Rollins was initially hoping for a relatively short recovery timeline, it appears that his injury will require more time to heal than initially anticipated. “The doctor told me that I’ve got a bit of a setback,” Rollins revealed. “The MRI showed some pretty significant damage, and we’re looking at a minimum of 6-8 weeks before I can even think about getting back in the ring.” This news is undoubtedly a blow to fans who were eagerly anticipating a potential showdown between Rollins and Rhodes in the coming weeks.
A WWE Source Weighs In
According to a WWE insider, Rollins’ injury is particularly disheartening given the high level of anticipation surrounding the match between Rollins and Rhodes. “Everyone was expecting a huge bout between these two guys, and now it looks like it’s going to be pushed back,” the insider revealed. “Rollins is one of the top stars in the company, and his absence is going to be felt.”
The Impact on Rollins’ Schedule
As a result of the injury, Rollins will be forced to miss several upcoming pay-per-views, including the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. While this is undoubtedly disappointing news for fans, Rollins remains optimistic about his prospects for the future. “I’m not going to let this injury define me,” he stated. “I’m going to take the time I need to heal, and when I come back, I’m going to be stronger than ever.”
Rhodes Offers Support to Rollins
Following the news of Rollins’ injury, Cody Rhodes took to social media to offer his support to his opponent. “I’m sending all my best to @WWERollins,” Rhodes tweeted. “No one wants to see anyone get hurt, especially not in this business. Take the time you need to heal, Seth – we’ll be here when you’re ready.”
What’s Next for Rollins?
While Rollins’ injury will undoubtedly have a significant impact on his schedule, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the WWE Superstar. One thing is certain, however: when Rollins returns to the ring, it will be with a renewed sense of purpose and a fierce determination to prove himself once again as one of the top stars in the WWE.
