Seth Rollins recently underwent surgery for an injury sustained just days before WrestleMania XL, where he lost his World Heavyweight Championship. Drew McIntyre defeated him in the opening match of Night Two, only to lose the title moments later to Damian Priest.
Despite his injury, Rollins made an appearance during the WrestleMania main event to assist Cody Rhodes in claiming the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns. According to PWInsider, Rollins underwent knee surgery this week for a torn meniscus.
Becky Lynch, Rollins’ wife, shared the news during an interview in Ireland, joking about his rehab involving chasing their daughter. She said,
“So, he just got surgery on Tuesday, so he had knee surgery. He tore his meniscus a little while before WrestleMania, and so his rehab is running after a little three year old now.”
Former WWE writer Vince Russo weighed in on Rollins’ title reign, suggesting it felt forced and lacked the same prestige as the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Speaking on Writing with Russo show, Russo expressed concerns about the direction of Rollins’ storyline, particularly in comparison to Roman Reigns’ dominance.
“I am not blaming him [Seth Rollins] for a lot of that because from the jump, it felt like that was forced. You know what I mean? I mean, my god, it felt like we are gonna have a new title over here because nobody can beat Roman (…) Where it really hurt too was then you had Roman dress down the title and Seth had no comeback whatsoever, so like where are we now?” he said.
Rollins, a beloved figure in WWE, has garnered a significant fan following throughout his career. It remains uncertain when the 37-year-old will be able to make his return to action.
