Rollins had been dealing with a Grade 2 MCL tear and a partially torn meniscus in his left knee since January. Despite the injury, he persevered and was cleared to compete weeks before WrestleMania 40. However, since the mega-event, Rollins has been absent from television screens, leaving fans wondering about his status.
The revelation from Lynch not only offers insight into Rollins’ absence but also underscores his dedication to the craft. It’s no small feat to deliver standout performances while nursing such an injury, as evidenced by The Rock’s acknowledgment of Rollins as the MVP of WrestleMania XL.
