At 39 years old, Seth Rollins has suffered his fair share of injuries, leading Stephen A. Smith to question the former Heavyweight Champion about his future in WWE during ESPN’s “First Take.” “I have some chronic things, that’s for sure, (like) any athlete. I’m almost 40 years old now. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years,” he explained. “My knees still work, so that’s good. But yeah, I mean, accidents happen, you know? It’s a physical sport, and you know, it’s just one of those things… That shoulder injury was painful, and I’m sure it won’t be the last of my career.”

Now, roughly 22 years into his professional wrestling career, Rollins noted that he’s probably closer to the end than the beginning. “However, I’m still under 40 and I feel like I have a lot of years left in me. I feel like I’m in the middle of my prime right now,” he said. “Physical (ability) hasn’t diminished, and mentally I’m stronger than ever. So there’s a lot left in the tank for Seth Rollins, Stephen A.!”
Despite that proclamation, Rollins also indicated that he has not been cleared to participate in this weekend’s WWE Royal Rumble, if you can believe him.
