In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Seth Rollins discussed the injury he sustained on the 1/15 edition of RAW.
Hurting his knee during a match against Jinder Mahal, the injury would be revealed as a torn MCL and partially torn meniscus.
On the road to recovery and his status for WrestleMania, Rollins said:
It was not as serious as it could have been. My biggest fear when I felt my knee go in the direction it wasn’t supposed to go was that it was going to be a repeat of 2015 [when he tore the ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus in his knee during a match]. I’d have had to vacate the title, miss WrestleMania, all the hard work from the past few years was going up in smoke, and I’d have to start all over. That wasn’t the case. I was able to continue to work on the injury, continue to tell stories and continue to build rivalries. I always looked at it from a glass half full situation.
The fact that we missed out on a few Seth Rollins matches on Raw breaks my heart as much as it does yours, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s all working out in the way it was intended to. I’m happy at full strength and ready to go for not one but two nights of WrestleMania.
Rollins has wrestled at live events since being cleared to return last month, wrestling his first match on WWE television since the injury on the 4/1 RAW against Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules match.
Rollins will team with Cody Rhodes to take on The Rock and Roman Reigns on Night One of WrestleMania, before defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre on Night Two.
WrestleMania 40 takes place Saturday, April 6 and Sunday, April 7 from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
