Seth Rollins appeared on ESPN's Get Up to discuss whether or not he'll be available for the Royal Rumble January 31 and when exactly he expects to be back in a WWE ring.

WWE TV has missed Rollins, but he won't rush to return from injury. Rollins is a superstar with a longer injury history than most WWE veterans. He tore multiple major ligaments in his right knee in 2015, re-aggravated an injury in his right knee in 2017, and re-injured the opposite knee in 2024.in late-2023 while he was World Heavyweight Champion for the first time. He was able to work through the pain without missing much time, but the shoulder injury he's currently dealing with isn't something he can work through.on Monday morning on the Get Up morning show, Seth Rollins confirmed whether or not he could make a surprise return at the Royal Rumble match. "Shoulder's doing good man, it's doing good. I don't know if it's good enough to get me in the ring this Saturday in Riyadh for the Royal Rumble, but we're on track for a return sometime sooner rather than later." and has expressed a desire to return before WrestleMania 42. His latest interview on ESPN gives fans lots of optimism that Rollins can fulfill his desire.In the same segment on Get Up with Greenberg, Rollins gave a men's and women's dark horse for the Royal Rumble this Saturday. It's no surprise that he chose WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion and wife Becky Lynch for the women's Royal Rumble. "For me, on the men's side, Rey Mysterio, he's a legend. He's won a Royal Rumble before shockingly enough as a guy as small as he is. On the women's side, there's somebody I feel like everybody's overlooking and that is my wife, the one and only, the man, Big Time Becks, Becky Lynch." Rollins has never been shy about giving his wife props in the media when given the chance.
