Rollins, Breakker Rehab for WrestleMania 42 Return

Published 23 February 2026

Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, two prominent WWE performers, are intensifying their rehabilitation efforts in a bid to return to the ring ahead of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas this April. According to reports from wrestling insider Dave Meltzer, both wrestlers are working diligently on their recoveries following injuries that have sidelined them since late 2025, disrupting long-term storylines and forcing adjustments to the company's flagship event.

Rollins sustained a torn rotator cuff during his match against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel in October 2025. Despite the injury, he completed the bout and secured a victory, claiming the Men's Crown Jewel Championship for the first time in four attempts against his opponent. The damage, however, necessitated surgery and led Rollins to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship he held at the time. Complicating his recovery are longstanding issues with chronic neck and back pain, which he has discussed publicly as stemming from years of high-impact performances. Medical estimates suggest Rollins could be sidelined for up to six months, though he has expressed cautious optimism about a potential return in time for WrestleMania.
