WWE’s Seth Rollins taking time off to rest knee injury
Seth Rollins will be taking some time off.
Rollins wrestled in the main event of WrestleMania night one, dropped the World Heavyweight title to Drew McIntyre to kick off night two, and then helped Cody Rhodes fend off The Bloodline in Sunday’s main event. However, Rollins missed last night’s Raw after WrestleMania and is expected to be away from the company for about a month.
“Seth Rollins will be taking time off after yesterday,” Our own Dave Meltzer wrote in Monday’s Daily Update. “The hope this morning was that this will be only about four weeks off.”
Rollins needs to rest up the knee injury he suffered in January, Meltzer later added on Wrestling Observer Radio.
“Seth is taking time off for injury,” Meltzer said. “I’ve heard not that long but it’s the knee thing, he’s just got to rest the knee up for a little while.”
Rollins suffered a Grade 2 tear of his MCL, as well as a torn meniscus in January but was able to return in time for WrestleMania. He told Sports Illustrated last week that he was at “full strength” heading into this year’s event.
