Seth Rollins Opens Up About Neck Issue He Dealt With During The Summer Of 2025

Rollins was dealing with some legitimate pain in 2025.

For a portion of the summer of 2025, Seth Rollins was off WWE television due to what appeared to be a knee injury. That would later be revealed to be a storyline injury as Rollins returned after the main event of WWE SummerSlam night one and cashed in Money in the Bank on CM Punk to regain the World Heavyweight Title.

While appearing on Complex News, Rollins shared that he was dealing with some legitimate pain in 2025. Below are Rollins’ comments:

“Last year, my neck was destroying me. That was really bad… During the summer last year… I couldn’t go 30 seconds without fidgeting. I had to get in a different position, I had to jam my thumb into my neck. I mean, it was not fun and then had to try to go to work and wrestle and be normal and stuff like that and the worst part is when your daughter wants to play and you’re like, ‘Ah, daddy needs a minute…’ It’s seeing her disappointed is the worst feeling in the world. I can get through wrestling stuff, whatever. But seeing my daughter disappointed and the sadness on her face because daddy can’t pick her up. That hurts. That sticks with you…”

Rollins is currently out of action after undergoing shoulder surgery in the fall of 2025. A new update from Rollins can be read here.
