Seth Rollins Talks About His Back Problem
Over the last two years, Seth Rollins has been WWE’s workhorse. He’s been tough for the majority of his career, with the exception of a knee ailment that necessitated surgery while he was WWE Champion in 2015.
Rollins discussed his back condition and how it affects his career in a backstage interview on RAW.
“I do have 2 fractures in my lumbar spine,” Rollins said. “I have been living with that injury for over four years and it does not get better by itself. As a matter of fact, it gets worse. The truth is I don’t know what the endgame is, I don’t know how much longer I am going to be able to do this at the level I’m currently running at.”
Since May 27, when he defeated Finn Balor at Night of Champions, Seth Rollins has held the World Heavyweight Championship. Shinsuke Nakamura, on the other hand, has yet to win his first global title since joining WWE in 2016.
