Although he has regained the ability to perform everyday tasks like washing his hair and scratching his armpit, a clear timeline for his return to the ring remains undetermined. Rollins shared a cautious update during a recent interview with Complex News, emphasizing continued progress without committing to a specific comeback date.
It’s coming along. I had surgery about almost three months ago now,
Seth Rollins said.
I can do most normal things like wash my hair and, you know, scratch my armpit and all those things. So, it’s good. Still got time. I don’t know exactly when we’re going to come back, but I’m making progress in the right direction.
