Seth Rollins Addresses Idea of Possible Royal Rumble Return in Saudi Arabia

TLDR

Seth Rollins has confirmed he will not be participating in the 2026 Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia due to his ongoing recovery from rotator cuff surgery performed in October. Speaking on ESPN First Take, Rollins stated that doctors will not clear him for the January 31 event and that he has a couple months left in his recovery process. Rollins suffered the torn rotator cuff injury during WWE Crown Jewel in October 2025, which also cost him his title, and he previously told Men's Health that his goal is to return by WrestleMania 42.
