Seth Rollins recently provided fans with an update on his recovery from a shoulder injury sustained during his match against Cody Rhodes at the 2025 Crown Jewel event. In a candid conversation on Bret Kreischer’s YouTube cooking show, “Something’s Cooking,” Rollins opened up about his rehabilitation process and potential return to the ring.
During the show, Rollins, accompanied by his wife, Becky Lynch, discussed the challenges of being sidelined due to his injury. Kreischer, known for his comedic approach, inquired how Rollins is coping with his situation. Rollins acknowledged the difficulties, saying, “There’s nothing good about being hurt,” but he also highlighted some positives. “I get to spend more time with my daughter, which is great. More time at home,” he noted.
With a visible shoulder brace, Rollins explained that he anticipates removing it within the next month. He mentioned, “Once I get this thing off… it might be full vacation mode for a little while, before I lock in and have to start training to get ready to come back.” This statement indicates that he is preparing for a phased return to training after a necessary period of rest.
As the conversation progressed, Kreischer asked Rollins about his training regimen post-recovery. Rollins indicated that the process will be gradual, estimating a timeline of “about 8 to 12 weeks” before he fully resumes training. He quipped about needing to adjust his eating habits, humorously stating, “Okay now I have to stop eating like an a**hole.” This light-hearted moment provided a glimpse into his mindset during recovery.
With Kreischer calculating the timeline, Rollins expressed hope for a return around February 2025, suggesting he would begin training seriously after the holiday season. “So I’m hoping, around February, after all the holiday stuff, I can start to be like, ‘Okay lock in, no more BS,’” he said. Lynch chimed in, supporting her husband’s timeline, suggesting it would be after the Super Bowl, while Rollins acknowledged the six-month recovery period, hinting at a possible comeback in April 2025.
Rollins’ injury has not only impacted his professional commitments but also allowed him to enjoy precious time at home. Fans eagerly await his return to WWE, where he has established himself as a prominent figure in professional wrestling. As his recovery progresses, the wrestling community continues to support Rollins, looking forward to his eventual comeback in the ring.
