Multiple WWE Stars Dealing With Injuries
Rhea Ripley isn’t the only major WWE star missing through injury after Becky Lynch revealed Seth Rollins recently underwent surgery. Rollins went under the knife to repair the torn meniscus he suffered back in January.
It’s also been reported that Drew McIntyre is working through an injury suffered at WrestleMania, ironically in a match with Rollins. However, McIntyre has continued to wrestle despite dealing with a “badly hyperextended elbow.”
