ICARO Media Group
In a recent episode of WWE RAW, Seth Rollins successfully defended his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Jinder Mahal. However, a report has surfaced indicating that the champion sustained a legitimate injury during the match.
Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch first reported Seth Rollins' injury, stating that the wrestler was seen limping after the bout. Now, sources close to Rollins have revealed that he suffered a torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus, as reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful via Fightful Select.
The severity of the injury remains unclear, and it is yet to be determined whether Rollins will require surgery. However, there is hope that he can avoid going under the knife. It is uncertain how WWE will handle the injury on-screen as of now.
Despite his injury, Rollins showcased his toughness by finishing the match on Monday night. The wrestler has a history of battling through knee issues, which further highlights his determination and dedication to his craft.
Given the nature of the injury, WWE has made the decision to pull Rollins from upcoming live events to allow him time to recover. It is crucial for him to receive proper treatment to ensure a swift and successful return to the ring.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the recovery process for MCL tears can vary depending on the severity. While non-surgical treatment is typically effective for most individuals, athletes often consider surgery due to the intense strain placed on their knees. Grade 1 MCL tears usually heal within one to three weeks without surgical intervention. On the other hand, Grade 2 and 3 tears require careful treatment and rehabilitation.
As more information becomes available, WrestleZone will continue to provide updates on Seth Rollins' injury and his road to recovery.
