Seth Rollins explains how he got injured during his match against Cody Rhodes.
Former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has been out of action after having to undergo shoulder surgery for the injury he sustained during his match against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth.
Speaking to former Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman on Games With Names, Seth Rollins described how he got injured. He noted that he didn’t stick the landing while going for the coast-to-coast headbutt on Cody Rhodes and landed hard on his left elbow.
“I did what we call a coast-to-coast headbutt,” Seth Rollins began, “so I jumped from one turnbuckle all the way across the ring to the other turnbuckle, where Cody Rhodes was hanging upside down, and I headbutted him. But, in the landing, I didn’t stick it. I did not stick the landing.
“I rotated a little bit to my left, landed hard on my left elbow, jolted it up into the shoulder, felt it go right away, and it was like, ‘Oh, we got a lot left to do in this match. How much can I do?’ I was like, ‘Can I do it? Should we go in a different direction with the finish? What should we do here?’
Seth Rollins Also Provided An Update On His Recovery
Speaking further, Seth Rollins noted that he is two weeks post-surgery and that the recovery process will take six months.
“There was a lot going on in my head. Luckily, I didn’t have to pick him up for anything. So, fortunately, I was able to get through everything. I took his finisher off the top rope, which was pretty scary at that point, because I knew I was going to land harshly on my shoulder. So, I kept it tucked real tight, and I don’t know that I did any more damage than the rotator. Two weeks out of surgery now, it’s about a six-month recovery, so we’ll see how it goes, Seth Rollins said.
