Seth Rollins has revealed details of the knee injury he suffered, admitting it could keep him sidelined for quite some time. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, Rollins confirmed he injured his knee during a bout with LA Knight at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event special on NBC and Peacock.
“I was doing a move that I do all the time – a moonsault, a backflip,” Rollins explained. “In this particular instance, I was landing not on my belly, but on my feet. When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle.”
Despite finishing the match, Rollins knew something was wrong. He flew to Birmingham, Alabama, to see WWE’s medical specialists, but swelling prevented doctors from getting a clear diagnosis via imaging.
“We’re going to take another look hopefully in a week or two here in LA to try to get some sort of firm diagnosis, and then we can go from there,” he said.
Rollins acknowledged that while he’s not a doctor, he knows his body well enough to sense that this could be a significant layoff.
“I feel like this is going to be me out for an extended period of time… It’s a bummer, but look, it is what it is. Our business moves on. This isn’t the first time that I’ve been injured – it won’t be the last.”
Rollins compared the injury to his serious knee injury in 2015, which forced him to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. However, he noted that he’s in a much better mental place today and is focusing on the positives, like spending more time with his daughter.
“I’m trying to find the silver linings… Everything’s going to be fine. We’re good.”
Rollins also said that while WrestleMania is in the back of his mind, his return timeline will depend entirely on his upcoming MRI results.
On Monday’s RAW, Paul Heyman said he has no update on Rollins yet, but there’s nothing to worry about because Seth has until June 2026 to cash-in his Money in the Bank contract.
