In a much-anticipated update, it has been officially confirmed that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is back in action, just in time for WrestleMania 40.
Rollins encountered a setback when he suffered a torn MCL and partially torn meniscus during his title defense against Jinder Mahal on the January 15, 2024 edition of WWE Raw.
Despite the injury, Rollins has remained a prominent figure on WWE programming. His recent appearance sealed the deal on his clearance to return to in-ring competition.
According to PWInsider, Seth Rollins is now scheduled to make his comeback at live events.
Sources indicate, “He’s returning to live events beginning this Saturday in Alexandria, LA.”
Rollins is expected to play a significant role in the WrestleMania storyline, particularly concerning the ongoing tensions involving Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Rock.
On tonight’s March 8 SmackDown, Rollins and Rhodes will address a challenge for a tag team match.
It’s anticipated that this match will be a highlight of the first night of WrestleMania.
Meanwhile, the rivalry between Rollins and Drew McIntyre, who is set to challenge Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on night two of WrestleMania 40, has intensified with heated exchanges on Twitter.
Following Rollins’ reaction on Twitter, McIntyre questioned the consistency of his energy during their previous encounter.
This Twitter spat has garnered attention from other WWE stars, with Noam Dar and Ricochet also offering their perspectives from the sidelines.
