Breaking: Top WWE Star Will Be Taking Time Off Following WrestleMania 40

Seth Rollins, one of WWE's top stars, will be taking time off to heal an injured knee, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.



The exact timeline for Rollins' return is unknown, but Meltzer did report that the injury is related to his previously reported torn MCL and partially torn meniscus, which he suffered in a match against Jinder Mahal in January.



While Rollins was able to return for the WrestleMania season after pushing through the initial injury, it appears further rest is now necessary.



This news comes after Rollins competed in two high-profile matches at WrestleMania 40. He teamed with Cody Rhodes on the first night and then defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre on the second night.

Seth Rollins & Cody Rhodes Honor Bray Wyatt In Emotional Post-Match Tribute At Springfield, IL WWE Live Event

At a recent WWE live event in Springfield, Illinois, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins teamed up to honor the memory of the late Bray Wyatt in a touching tribute. ## The event served as a training session for the upcoming WrestleMania 40, where Rhodes and Rollins are expected to compete. Following their victory over The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa & Jimmy Uso, the wrestlers acknowledged the presence of Wyatt's signature "fireflies" – glowing lights held by fans – in the audience. ## This sparked a heartwarming display of respect, with Rhodes encouraging more fans to participate. Rollins then graciously offered to forego his entrance song in favor of a song for "Windham," Wyatt's real name. The crowd erupted in a rendition of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," a song often associated with Wyatt's character.## This emotional tribute highlights the impact Wyatt had on the wrestling world. It wasn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last. Last December, Rollins paid similar respects to Wyatt and Brodie Lee, another beloved wrestler who passed away in 2020.## In addition to Rollins' championship modifications, fans can expect to see Bray Wyatt further celebrated with the upcoming documentary, "Bray Wyatt: Becoming Immortal," set to premiere on Peacock on April 1st, 2024. ## Pretty cool end to a @wwe Premium Live Event in Springfield, Il. Fireflies make an appearance and Seth Rollins and @CodyRhodes shout out to Bray Wyatt. pic.twitter.com/BgRNe2Nzyq— Eric Guthrie (@Egut3) March 24, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

The Rock Cuts Promo On Seth Rollins, Calls Him 'Clown' And Says Becky Lynch Is More Popular

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson set the ring burning on SmackDown this week, not just with a musical performance but also with some scathing insults towards his WrestleMania opponent Cody Rhodes and his apparent tag team partner, Seth Rollins. ## The Rock kicked things off by calling Rollins "Cody's best friend clown." This playful jab sets the tone for a more lighthearted (though still pointed) attack on Rollins. The People's Champion took a shot at Rollins' popularity with fans, claiming that Becky Lynch, Rollins' wife and fellow WWE Superstar, is actually the bigger draw. ## The Rock upped the ante by declaring he'll not only defeat Rollins but also take his championship title. Whether this is a literal threat or simply bragging remains to be seen. The Rock compared Rollins to Ja Morant, a prominent basketball player recently embroiled in controversy. The exact details of the comparison weren't specified, but it was clearly meant to be negative. ## The Rock got in a playful dig at Rollins' wrestling style, calling him "cackling" and "dancing." This could be a reference to Rollins' signature laugh and energetic movements in the ring. The Rock ominously concluded his comments about Rollins by stating that the champion's title will simply "disappear." ## 👏👏👏@TheRock's hilarious song for his #WrestleMania opponents, @CodyRhodes and @WWERollins, deserves to be viewed in its entirety!
