Seth Rollins Details His Struggles Through Rehabilitation

During an interview with Men’s Health, Seth Rollins revealed the extent of his shoulder injury and related struggles with rehabilitation. The Visionary compared his 2015 injury to his latest, stating that the current situation had been worse.

When my surgeon got in there, he was pleasantly surprised honestly. Labrum looked good and the bicep tendon was fine, so he just replaced the rotator, and the rehab has been awful. It’s been terrible.

I tore my knee — ACL, MCL, meniscus in 2015, and I would say this was way worse. It’s super painful, and I find that the sleeping was extremely difficult because I’m in a brace nonstop for six weeks. So, I have to sleep in this brace, which means you have to sleep upright, and it’s really uncomfortable; you can’t get solid rest.

The 39-year-old further said that even small movements triggered him.

Any sort of small movement wakes you up and triggers you and so, you can’t get into a deep sleep. You can’t get good R.E.M., you can’t get good deep sleep so your recovery’s bad, so your mood is bad, so your stress level is up and then the rehab is just painful. It’s slow and it’s painful.

I was doing isometric holds for weeks, just staring at a wall for 30 seconds at a time, pushing into the wall; side, this way, that way, this way, that way, backwards, and I’m like, ‘God, this sucks.’
