However, the atmosphere swiftly shifted as Seth Rollins delivered a significant injury update, revealing a Grade 2 MCL tear and a partially torn medial meniscus in his left knee, as diagnosed by an MRI.

Defiantly, he declared his determination to do everything possible to leave the grand event with the championship. GUNTHER, seizing the moment, announced his intention to win the Royal Rumble and target Rollins as the titleholder he would pursue.
