The return of Seth Rollins is getting closer ... sources tell Pro Wrestling Sheet that The Architect is once again training in a wrestling ring -- but the former Champ is making sure to play it safe.

Our sources say Rollins has been working in the ring without a brace at his Black and Brave Wrestling Academy in Illinois, usually multiple times a week, but he's cautious about leg involvement and plays it safe by icing his knee after every training session.

Seth was injured back in November and shortly after underwent reconstructive knee surgery.  It was projected he'd be out for 6-9 months at the time, and 4 months of that have already passed.

Could Rollins pull a John Cena-like move and return from injury early?  Only time will tell.
