Seth Rollins is reportedly dealing with a “minor” injury, a quiet bombshell dropped by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This isn’t just creative storytelling keeping him off WWE programming, folks, there’s actually something going on behind the scenes! WWE is reportedly giving him time to heal up, which makes sense, you want your top guys at 100 percent.
John Cena’s 25-Year Career Secret Is Out, And It’s All About the Prep
Nearly a year after his last match, WWE legend John Cena just spilled the beans on how he prepped for matches over his incredible 25-year career. Speaking on “What Now? With Trevor Noah,” Cena revealed that his early days were pure Tasmanian devil stuff, just a “couple of jumps” and then running out when the music hit. But as he got older and wiser, his routine became way more serious. We’re talking a full-on “flexibility protocol” kicking off two hours before showtime! He had to keep a certain “warmth and heart rate” an hour in, constantly moving and stretching. And even for the “difficult things” he could do in his sleep, the “strength-based stuff” he was known for, he had to practice more because, as he put it, “I’m not as strong as I used to be.” Recovery was huge too, including icing himself down after matches. This guy’s commitment to his craft is why he ended up a record 17-time world champion. His final match was last December against Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and it’s clear his dedication to pre- and post-match care is why he walked away from pro wrestling with his health largely intact.
Seth Rollins’ ‘Minor’ Injury Means a Huge Return Is Brewing
So, back to Seth Rollins. While the injury is “minor” and he’s reportedly healthy enough to return “now or in the near future” if WWE absolutely needed him, the word from Meltzer is that the company wants to bring him back for “maximum impact.” They’re waiting for that perfect moment. Rollins was last seen on TV at SummerSlam in early August, where he lost the World Heavyweight Championship match to Roman Reigns in the main event. He did hit the ring for a few six-man tag team matches during the South America live event tour in September, but none of those aired on TV, meaning he’s been absent from WWE programming for over two months. That’s a long time for a talent like Rollins!
Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight: The Main Event You Knew Was Coming
Looking ahead to this weekend, the World Heavyweight Championship match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight is going to be in a featured spot at Money in the Bank. WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, via H Jenkins of Ringside News, reported that the plan is for Reigns vs. Knight to headline Money in the Bank as the main event. Is anyone really surprised? Reigns’ matches always go on last.
With Money in the Bank this weekend not featuring Rollins, all eyes are already on Survivor Series next month. Will WWE finally pull the trigger on his “maximum impact” return then? And what about that potential WarGames alliance with Roman Reigns against 946? The build-up is just getting started, and you know we’ll be watching every single second.
