During his altercation with Samoa Joe last week, Seth Rollins re-injured his knee and he was recently examined by doctors in Birmingham, AL.
As Seth Rollins sits on the sidelines, Finn Balor is preparing to make his big comeback. Balor suffered an injury when he faced Seth Rollins during the first ever Universal Title match at SummerSlam, and according to Balor himself he is currently on track to return for WrestleMania.
Balor has been rehabbing his injured shoulder and it seems to be getting better as physical therapist Kevin Wilk recently shared a video of Balor doing some push ups on an unstable rocker board.
