The World Heavyweight Champion has been dealing with a series of neck and back injuries since 2019. He first opened up about his medical condition during an interview with Logan Paul on Impaulsive a couple of weeks ago
“My knee's been bugging me since before WrestleMania. I was having issues with that. My neck's been acting up, my lower back has been at me since 2019. Probably should get some surgery on that, but trying to just do whatever I can to make sure I don't need it because I have a couple of stress fractures back there,” Rollins told Paul.
Payback 2023 takes place this Saturday at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA.
