The WWE is dealing with the injury bug once again with WrestleMania 33 just less than two months away. Finn Balor has been out since late August last year with a shoulder injury while Seth Rollins suffered a torn MCL in his right knee two weeks ago.
The two WWE superstars shared a moment on Valentine's Day as they posed together during their rehabilitation at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. In between them was an old school photo of Triple H, who is still scheduled to face Rollins at WrestleMania 33. You can check out the photo here.
With WrestleMania 33 less than two months away, fans are very anxious to know the status of Balor and Rollins. Here are the latest WWE injury news and updates on "The Demon" and "The Architect".
Finn Balor expected to appear at WrestleMania 33
According to Cageside Seats, Balor is expected to be cleared by WWE doctors before WrestleMania 33 and he will likely make an appearance at the event. However, fans should not expect him to be booked in a match since the WWE is very cautious about his injury.
Balor suffered a torn right labrum during his match with Rollins at SummerSlam wherein "The Demon" became the first-ever WWE Universal Champion. He had to relinquish the title the next night on Monday Night Raw as he was immediately scheduled for surgery.
Doctors gave Balor four to six months of recovery from the injury. March marks the sixth month since his injury so he's just on schedule. He already teased fans about his return when he performed his "Demon Crawl" during one of his rehab sessions.
Seth Rollins on schedule to make it to WrestleMania 33
Rollins suffered a torn MCL in his right knee two weeks ago after an attack from Samoa Joe as ordered by Triple H. The WWE confirmed the injury and he was ruled out for six to eight weeks. If he's out for eight weeks, he only has several days left to prepare for WrestleMania 33.
Nevertheless, the WWE has not ruled him out of WrestleMania, which is a good sign that fans will get Seth Rollins vs. Triple H. But just in case he's not cleared in time, the backup plan for Triple H is for him to face Samoa Joe at WrestleMania 33, per The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required).
