Seth Rollins Undergoes Knee Surgery

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins began his road to recovery. Today, Rollins underwent successful knee surgery in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Jeffrey Dugas performed the operation on his knee.

WWE has posted photos of the surgery process on the official website. They can be seen right here.

A few days ago, Rollins gave his thoughts on how the injury is affecting him personally.

You know, overall, I think I’m in a pretty good spot. Physically, my knee doesn’t hurt. Like, one thing people don’t understand, a common question is, “How much pain are you in?” The ligaments don’t have nerve endings, so, that’s a good thing and a bad thing, but I don’t feel any pain, it’s just a lot of instability in the knee capsule. So, I’m doing a lot of compression to kind of reduce the swelling and stuff like that. Emotionally … could be better. Obviously it’s a tough spot to be in. I’m mostly just looking forward to getting the surgery done and getting better every day.

The current timetable for Rollins recovery is six to nine months. Seth will miss Wrestlemania, but it is possible that he’ll be eligible to return to WWE shortly afterward. WWE made the following video and Rollins made the following statement on his personal Facebook page:

“Huge thanks to everyone who has reached out and extended their support over the last week. Means a lot to me. Surgery is done and I’m on the mend! Every day is forward movement now. I’ll be back it before you can even miss me.”
