Cody Rhodes Talks Seth Rollins’ Injury – Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has confirmed that Seth Rollins recently underwent shoulder surgery following their match at WWE Crown Jewel, marking a significant setback for the former World Heavyweight Champion.

During his appearance on ALL THE SMOKE, Rhodes discussed his in-ring history with Rollins and revealed that Rollins suffered the injury during their bout at Crown Jewel, where Rollins defeated him to capture the men’s Crown Jewel Championship. The Undisputed Champion also reflected on their rivalry, joking that the two shouldn’t face each other again given how their matches seem to result in injuries.

“Seth Rollins and I recently wrestled at Crown Jewel, and Seth finally beat me. I’d beat him three times before. Nobody had sweeped him like that. But he tore his — I don’t know — I wanna say his rotator cuff. We don’t have an actual answer… But Seth, I know, has gone under the knife and got surgery, so, at this point, real, not real, however you look at the industry, him and I aren’t good for each other. We don’t need to wrestle ever again.”

Rhodes referenced their 2022 feud, during which he famously competed inside Hell in a Cell with a torn pectoral muscle. “He’s lost a shoulder. That was the first major injury I ever had. But, I was glad to be in the ring with him that night. It was special,” Rhodes said, reflecting on the physical toll their rivalry has taken on both men.

Rollins’ shoulder injury forced him to relinquish the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, ending his reign earlier this month. He later confirmed on Good Morning Football that he is expected to be sidelined for roughly six months.

In Rollins’ absence, CM Punk captured the vacant World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1. Meanwhile, The Vision — formerly led by Rollins — turned on him soon after, as Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman attacked him on RAW.

Cody Rhodes remains atop WWE as the Undisputed WWE Champion, recently retaining his title against Drew McIntyre at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
