How Long Roman Reigns Is Expected To Be Out Of Action

Yesterday WWE.com posted an extensive update on Roman’s condition, surgery, and prognosis. WWE physician Chris Amann stated that the wrestler’s condition was not related to any recent in-ring activity.

“Roman has had a pre-existing hernia for some time, which unfortunately had become acutely painful, which led to him going to the emergency room in Nashville,” Amann stated. “He was found to have a large hernia that was unable to be reduced, which means pushed back into the abdominal cavity. As a result, it was necessary to perform an emergent operation to open up the hernia sac and try and push it back into the abdominal cavity.”

According to Dr. Amann, a typical recovery time for a condition like this is approximately four to six weeks, noting that because this particular hernia was significant, Reigns will likely be out of commission for “closer to six weeks.”
