Seth Rollins Reveals Brutal Injury List From His WWE Career

Seth Rollins has been a champion, a WrestleMania main eventer, and one of WWE’s most recognizable stars—but behind the accolades is a body that’s been through absolute hell.

During a revealing conversation on The Viall Files, Rollins peeled back the curtain on just how physically punishing wrestling has been for him. While fans debate storylines, he’s lived through the consequences—limping, bleeding, and breaking bones to entertain the world.

“I just got rotator cuff surgery two months ago from an injury that I suffered in the ring. You know, I’ve done my ACL. I’ve broken my jaw. Separated both my shoulders. Meniscus on my left knee. I’ve got countless injuries and stuff like that.”

That laundry list only scratches the surface. Rollins shared how things often go off the rails mid-match—and when they do, you just have to keep going. One of his most infamous moments came in a match against John Cena, where a knee to the face changed everything. Years later, that moment still sticks with him.

“I broke John Cena’s nose one time in a match and he had to continue. And it was a bad break. Like, it was like sideways… there was so much blood. I felt so bad. But he finished the whole match.”

“Oh my God, I was so apologetic… not only after—for weeks after. I probably still apologize to John.”

Injuries aren’t just expected in pro wrestling—they’re guaranteed. And when the adrenaline fades, what’s left are surgeries, rehab, and long-term pain. Yet somehow, Rollins is still at the top of the game, proving that being a superstar in WWE takes more than charisma. It takes grit—and a high pain threshold.

Seth Rollins isn’t just telling stories in the ring—he’s absorbing real damage every time he steps through the ropes. With surgeries stacking up and injuries that would end most athletic careers, Rollins continues to prove why he’s one of WWE’s toughest.
