According to a report from PWInsider, Seth Rollins is being penciled in to return on the June 6 episode of “Monday Night Raw,” which emulates from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The report states that he is currently training at the Performance Center, working out some of the kinks and preparing for his return.
Rollins was injured on November 4, 2015, at a live event in Dublin, Ireland. He suffered a torn ACL, MCL and Medical Meniscus during a match with Kane, and was forced to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. His rumored return time was 6-9 months, but he seems to be recovering at a very rapid rate.
It had been previously reported that Rollins would be returning sometime in June; it now appears that we have a specific date.
John Cena tweeted out the following this morning, perhaps giving validity to the above report:
I have done my best to return to @WWE as fast as I can, but I hope people understand just how amazing @WWERollins recovery is #Respect #GG

This is great news for everyone involved. Rollins is one of the most valuable superstars in the company, and his return will mean great things for the summer storylines. I can’t wait to see him back in a WWE ring, and hope that these reports come to fruition!
