Seth Rollins Was Dealing With Back Injury Before Royal Rumble

– According to a new report, Seth Rollins’ back has been hurting since before the Royal Rumble. The WON reports that Rollins knew going into the Rumble in January that he would have to take some time off after the show to let his back heal.

Rollins, who last worked a match against Dean Ambrose on January 28th immediately after Raw, could work a match if he wanted to according to the report. However, WWE officials want him as close to 100% as possible for his match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. Rollins appeared on this week’s Raw and did a promo segment with Paul Heyman.

Rollins is not scheduled to compete at Elimination Chamber this weekend and was pulled from ads for Fastlane, where he was to listed as facing Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship. Finn Balor vs. Lashley is being advertised instead.
