WWE's Seth Rollins Posts IG Photo After Shoulder Surgery, 'See Ya on the Other Side'

After having surgery on his injured shoulder, Seth Rollins shared a message to fans on Tuesday.

The WWE star posted a photo on Instagram of himself drinking a cup of coffee and rocking a Chicago Bears hat with the caption, "Caffeine and clarity. See ya on the other side. P.S. I love football."

During Monday's episode of Raw, general manager Adam Pearce confirmed Rollins had surgery on his shoulder and will be sidelined "for quite a while." Pearce pointed the blame for the injury at Rollins' teammates, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman, who turned on him and attacked him during last week's edition of Raw.

Also on Monday's episode of Raw, Pearce announced Rollins had been stripped of his World Heavyweight Championship since he would be out with the injury. A Battle Royal then took place to decide who would face CM Punk for the title during Saturday Night's Main Event.

Jey Uso ultimately won the battle royal and will get the chance to claim the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk on Saturday.

There was understandably some speculation about the legitimacy of Rollins' injury, given that he pulled off the "Ruse of the Century" over the summer when he appeared to suffer a leg injury in July before returning in August to cash in on his Money in the Bank contract, but this time it's for real.

As for when the injury occurred, that's another question.

He appeared to have suffered an injury during Saturday's Crown Jewel Championship match against WWE champion Cody Rhodes, and he was later spotted wearing a sling.

Whether the injury occurred on Saturday or Monday is unclear, but it's obvious Rollins has a long road to recovery.
