WWE Superstar Seth Rollins recently provided an encouraging update on his injury status following his victory over Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel 2025. Despite having undergone surgery nearly three months ago, the Visionary remains uncertain about the exact timing of his return to the ring, but emphasizes that his recovery is moving in a positive direction.
Details from Rollins’ Recent Interview
During a joint interview with Complex News alongside Becky Lynch, Rollins opened up about the progress he has made since his injury. He explained that while he can now perform many everyday tasks, such as washing his hair and scratching, he is still carefully monitoring his recovery timeline. The former World Heavyweight Champion expressed optimism but acknowledged that more time is needed before he can compete again.
“It’s coming along. It’s coming along. I had surgery about almost three months now. So, I can do most normal things like wash my hair and scratch my armpit and all those things so it’s good. You still got time. I don’t know exactly when we’re gonna come back but, I’m making progress in the right direction,” he said. [H/T: Fightful]
Rollins Reflects on Time Away from WWE RAW
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Rollins further described his mindset during this recovery period. While acknowledging the difficulty of having to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship, he shared that he is finding positives in his time away from in-ring action. The veteran revealed that spending time with his daughter and watching his wife’s achievements have helped maintain his spirits as he prepares for an eventual return.
“I’m great. I’m wonderful. I’m enjoying the time off to an extent. Took a couple weeks to kind of wrap my head around having to forfeit my World Heavyweight Championship, but it’s been good. The time off has been nice. Get to spend time with our daughter, getting to talk American football, watch my wife be the greatest of all time. it’s not been too bad. Looking forward to getting back whenever that happens,” Rollins said.
Background on Rollins’ Current WWE Situation
Following his injury, Rollins experienced shifts within his faction The Vision, as the group distanced themselves from him. Meanwhile, on WWE RAW, CM Punk successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against The Vision’s Bron Breakker last week.
