Seth Rollins States That He’s Not Cleared For ‘Real Physicality’: “I Gotta Protect This Shoulder For Maybe Another Couple Weeks Or So”
Seth Rollins is not cleared for in-ring action.
Despite his return to WWE at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, Seth Rollins is not cleared for ‘real physicality.’ He shared that during his appearance on Good Morning Football.
Rollins spoke about the segment on the 3/9 Raw when his group of masked men shuffled around the ring to confuse Austin Theory and Logan Paul about which one of them was Rollins.
“I’ll tell you what, I’ll give the (Kansas City) Chiefs credit on this. They were a little more synchronized than my masked men were. The masked men were all over the place. There was a lot of jumble, a lot of two left feet going on in there. The Chiefs were more synchronized. However, I gotta say, one of these plays worked! And the other one didn’t! Alright, you gotta execute… We executed to perfection. We got in there, we protected Seth Rollins, we confused everybody and we got out of there, and that is what we had to do because Seth Rollins, that’s me, I’m not cleared yet. I can’t get into any real physicality. I gotta protect this shoulder for maybe another couple weeks or so and then we’ll see if we need these masked men, if we need all this trickeration or not.”
Speaking about the segment, Rollins explained what was going through his mind while the masked men were shuffling.
“You know what? I was just hoping nobody lost a shoe,” Rollins said while laughing. “I was like, hopefully nobody falls over or nobody lost a shoe… When you’re dealing with a lot of bodies like that and a lot of moving parts in the ring, I was just hoping nobody blew out an ACL. I was hoping nobody lost a ligament in the knee there.”
