Injured WWE star Seth Rollins has told Men's Health that he's "blown [his] credibility when it comes to injuries" following his latest setback in late-2025. The company had to strip Rollins of the World Heavyweight Championship on the 20 October episode of Raw - Seth had previously been attacked by former Vision stablemates Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed on the prior week's flagship.

CM Punk would go on to claim the vacant belt by beating Jey Uso at Saturday Night's Main Event on 1 November.

In an interesting moment during the interview, Seth said being injured "pays the same". However, he's keenly aware that the timing was awful. He was in the middle of a mega-push as the leader of Raw's top heel faction, and he'd been riding high as World Champ before suffering a nasty shoulder injury mid-bout with Cody Rhodes over in Australia at Crown Jewel.

Bouncing back from that proved problematic, so Rollins had to throw the towel in, head in for surgery then focus on his rehab. That's where he's at now. Seth told interviewers that he remains unsure whether or not he'll be capable of launching a return in time for WrestleMania 42.

A big match vs. Roman Reigns had been discussed for that PLE, but it's up in the air. Speaking candidly, Rollins admitted that any call on the timing of his return ultimately doesn't rest on his shoulders: "That decision isn't mine. I just can do the best I can day after day, get myself in a good position and hope for the best".

Fingers crossed on Seth's comeback. It'd be a sweet boost for WWE heading into 'Mania.
