In January, when Seth Rollins sustained a knee injury, he set his sights on returning to the ring before WrestleMania.
Last week on Raw, he excitedly announced his medical clearance to perform, and on Saturday night (March 9), Rollins marked his triumphant comeback at a WWE live event in Alexandria, LA.
Teaming up with Cody Rhodes, Rollins faced off against Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso of the Bloodline, emerging victorious. The finishing move saw Rollins executing a curb stomp on Uso while Rhodes countered Sikoa with a Cross Rhodes, securing the pin on Uso.

Addressing the enthusiastic fans after the match, Rollins expressed his satisfaction with his return and delivered a bold prediction for The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania in Philadelphia.
“At WrestleMania, the other half of the Bloodline, they don’t stand a damn chance.”
Rollins’ successful return is a welcome development as WrestleMania approaches. His January injury, a Grade 2 MCL tear suffered while defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Jinder Mahal, cast doubt on his participation in WWE’s premier event.
With CM Punk out due to a torn triceps, Rollins’ recovery became pivotal.
As Rollins recuperated, Drew McIntyre stepped up, winning the men’s Elimination Chamber match in Perth, Australia, earning a shot at Rollins’ title at WrestleMania.
Meanwhile, WWE orchestrated a captivating narrative involving Cody Rhodes, The Rock, and Roman Reigns, with Rollins aligning himself with The American Nightmare.
Together, they pledged to conquer the Bloodline, aiming to end Roman Reigns’ reign of terror at the 40th annual WrestleMania.
Rollins continues his comeback tour tonight (March 10) in Lafayette, LA. Notably, the Lafayette show was initially set to feature a grudge match between Rhodes and McIntyre.
With Rollins officially back in action, the event may witness similar changes, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as The Visionary returns to the spotlight.
