Seth Rollins’ Injury Status: WWE Royal Rumble Return Possible?

The WWE Royal Rumble is approaching, and fans are eager to know about Seth Rollins’ injury status. The highly anticipated event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Rollins has been sidelined since October due to a shoulder injury, raising concerns about his participation.

Seth Rollins’ Injury Update

Seth Rollins has expressed a desire to return to the ring in time for WrestleMania season. Unfortunately, he recently confirmed that he will not compete in the Royal Rumble. During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take, Rollins stated, “I’ll give it away, I’m not going to be at the Rumble.” He emphasized that his doctors advised against his participation, despite his wish to join the action.

Rollins has a history of blurring the line between reality and storyline in WWE. Last year, he participated in a leg injury storyline while holding the title of World Heavyweight Champion. Fans initially speculated that his current shoulder injury might be another ruse, but Rollins’ recent statements suggest otherwise.
