Seth Rollins, a prominent figure in the world of professional wrestling, has been forced to withdraw from an upcoming tour in Japan due to a recent injury. The injury occurred during his match with Cody Rhodes at a premium live event in Perth, and has led to a series of changes in the tour's lineup. Rollins was set to join Team WWE on their journey to Japan, but his absence has been confirmed, leaving fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike with questions about his condition and future in the sport.
The injury has sparked a wave of speculation and concern among fans. Prior to the injury, Rollins was scheduled to face CM Punk in Tokyo on October 17th, and then team up with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to take on Punk, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Jey Uso on the 18th. However, due to the injury, these plans have been altered, and the updated lineups have been released, with Punk now facing Dominik Mysterio on Friday, and Punk and Nakamura joining forces to take on Breakker and Reed on the 18th.
The severity of Rollins' injury has been a topic of debate. While some sources suggest he will undergo shoulder surgery, others indicate a potential rotator cuff surgery. The 39-year-old champion was spotted wearing a sling and enjoying ice cream after a recent show, which has only added to the mystery. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer confirms that the injury is legitimate and that Rollins will undergo surgery as soon as possible, with an expected recovery time of several months.
However, Fightful Select reports that WWE is keeping the details of Rollins' diagnosis private, and that further tests will determine the extent of his injury. Some contacts hope that the injury is only a broken arm, which would allow Rollins to return by the end of the year. The uncertainty surrounding Rollins' condition has left fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike eagerly awaiting further updates and a clearer picture of his future in the sport.
