Overview
- In a new interview, Rollins said he removed his brace last week and is feeling "alright," emphasizing that rehab remains "on track."
- He has not been medically cleared to wrestle; reporting cites an 8–12 week training ramp after clearance, with some outlets pointing to April 2026 as a realistic window.
- Rollins sustained a severe shoulder injury at Crown Jewel in October during a match with Cody Rhodes and was written off Raw after an on-screen attack by The Vision.
- The injury led him to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship, and CM Punk later captured the title by defeating Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event, per reporting.
- Post–Survivor Series coverage identified the hooded WarGames attacker who hit a Stomp as Austin Theory, a twist that fueled fan skepticism Rollins addressed in his remarks.
