Video: Seth Rollins injury update, rehabilitation tougher than expected says Rollins

A tedious road ahead for the Architect

Watching Sheamus cashing in his MITB contract on Roman Reigns might have given Rollins a sense of deja vu coupled with a feeling of frustration.

Since Rollins suffered the unfortunate knee injury, the internet wrestling community has shown an increased amount of love for the Architect and realise how much of an asset he was to WWE’s day-to-day programming.

Rollins is at home nursing his injury and the rehabilitation process is underway in full swing. WWE released another video highlighting the status of his knee and also the progress he has been making.

As far as his knee goes, it still looks disgusting according to the doctors. Finding the road to recovery a tougher ordeal than he pictured it to be, Rollins had this to say:

"The progress I've made so far is pretty good. The rehab is starting to get a little tedious as far as the day-to-day repetition of everything and the slow progression but every day is getting better. I can see myself doing things in the afternoon, even, that I couldn't do in the morning sometimes. The sessions are actually really brutal, the therapy sessions are really brutal, a lot worse than I expected them to be.”

“I'm just getting around trying to live a normal life, even a sedentary life that I'm not used to. It's really frustrating for me sometimes, it's just not... it's a complete 180 from the life I lived before. I have great surgeons, I have great people here taking care of me. I know we're doing all the right things to make sure my recovery is fast and I can get back in the ring as soon as possible to take my title back."

As far as the doctor’s statement on the injury, Rollins is making good progress, yet his knee still is in a bad shape. This was what the doctor had to say:

"Seth Rollins sustained an ACL injury as well as injury to his MCL and meniscus. A lot of times ACL injuries are isolated or there may be a small meniscal injury but the fact that he completely tore his medial collateral legitimate, as well as his ACL, really lends a more complex type of surgery and a little bit longer rehabilitation. Seth, at his time frame right now, comes in twice a day, which most people find hard to believe.”

"Each session lasts about two-and-a-half hours, so he's actually rehabbing five hours a day. He's very motivated, he wants to get back as fast as possible. He's really ahead of the course, what most people and even professional athletes have. We expect a full recovery and we expect him to be even better than before."
