WWE has a lot of things going on, but their World Heavyweight Champion has been on the shelf for several weeks. Seth Rollins still plans on making his way to WrestleMania 40 for a big night to defend his title, and he will be cleared sooner than some expected.
Seth Rollins\' Big Injury Announcement
Seth Rollins recently provided WWE fans with an update on his potential return to in-ring action before WrestleMania XL on April 6 and 7. This took place during the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia.
Rollins sustained a torn MCL and partially torn meniscus during a match against Jinder Mahal on the January 15 episode of RAW. Despite making multiple television appearances since the injury, the World Heavyweight Champion has yet to step back into the ring.
During Elimination Chamber, Seth Rollins mentioned that he is \"days away\" from being medically cleared to compete. Consequently, there\'s a possibility of witnessing him wrestle on the journey leading to the main event.
That announcement went down during a very eventful Grayson Waller Effect. That is the same time that Cody Rhodes challenged The Rock to a one-on-one match down the line. Seth Rollins then told Cody that he won\'t be making that fight alone.

What\'s Next For Seth Rollins
Odds are, Rollins may very well compete on both nights of Mania, with a tag team match with Cody Rhodes against Roman Reigns and The Rock going down on the first night. If that happens, then his World Heavyweight Championship match should be a marquee contest on night one.
It will be interesting to see how Seth Rollins is booked from this point on. Roman Reigns\' recent burial of the World Heavyweight Champion as having a runner-up title wasn\'t a great look. Still, he is one of the most beloved babyfaces in the company.
