Seth Rollins Appears at Bears Game with No Cast, Moves Arm Freely After Injury

Seth Rollins was on the sidelines at Soldier Field during the Chicago Bears’ overtime win over the Green Bay Packers on December 20, 2025, and fans immediately noticed one thing—no sling, no cast, and his arm was moving just fine.

This comes after reports confirmed Rollins suffered a torn rotator cuff, an injury that was significant enough to alter WWE’s long-term creative direction heading into WrestleMania 42. Rollins was originally planned to face Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Title, but with his injury, the card shifted to Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker for the World Heavyweight Championship.

But during the Bears game, Rollins was seen interacting with the crowd on the field, leading chants with full energy and zero signs of physical restriction. Wearing Bears gear, a chain, and a scarf, he hyped up the home team:

“Let’s go first! Let’s go first! Let’s go—first! Let’s go first!”

The Bears went on to defeat the Packers 22–16 in overtime, solidifying their position at 1st in the NFC North with an 11–4 record.

While there’s been no official update on Rollins’ recovery timeline, his appearance has sparked some conversation about his physical status—especially since he showed no visible limitation in his right shoulder during the live moment.

With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, all eyes are on whether Rollins could turn earlier than expected or potentially be added back into WWE’s evolving plans.

Do you think Seth Rollins is closer to a return than WWE is letting on? Should they reconsider the WrestleMania card if he’s healthy in time? Let us know in the comments.
