This week, on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins revealed the harsh reality of his recent knee injury, unveiling the extent of the damage with a Grade 2 torn MCL and a partially torn meniscus. The prognosis hinted at a potential 2-4 months of recovery, casting a shadow over Rollins’ participation in WrestleMania 40. Despite the grim diagnosis, Rollins, visibly emotional, displayed his trademark resilience. He vows to defy the odds and rehabilitate in time for the grand event.

He made the announcement that he would battle through as Gunther offered his sarcastic pity, noting The Ring General’s own plan to win the Royal Rumble and challenge Rollins if the current champion can eventually make it there.

WWE weaved Rollins’ real-life dilemma with a new subplot that thickens the dominos that could fall after this Saturday’s premium live event. Rollins made it clear that doctors told him he was likely out, even in the best of circumstances, but The Visionary vowed to power through. Gunther, acknowledging Rollins as a fighting champion, subtly hinted at the unfortunate prospect of Rollins missing WrestleMania 40 and said that even if he made it there, the champion wouldn’t be 100 percent and Gunther wouldn’t hold back and would attack his weaknesses.
