Former US Champion strikes Seth Rollins on RAW
On July 7, 2025, episode of Raw,
Seth Rollins
faced Penta in a heated main event. Displaying his cunning, Rollins secured the victory with a decisive stomp after a low-blow headbutt to Penta. Following the match, Paul Heyman summoned Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker to join Rollins in a show of dominance.
But the tables turned dramatically when the former United States Champion emerged, catching Rollins off guard with his signature Blunt Force Trauma (BFT) finisher.
LA Knight
shocked Seth Rollins to end RAW
LA Knight entered through the crowd and BFT'ed Rollins. However, he swiftly escaped from the wrath of Reed and Breakker's chase. He left Rollins humiliated in the ring, pissed off over the shocking finisher from Knight. This moment underscored Knight's growing rivalry with Rollins, adding another layer of intrigue to Rollins' tumultuous journey.
Earlier in the night, Zayn was destroyed by Breakker while Uso was by Reed. The same was set to happen with Penta, but Knight came to the aid. The sudden attack was a build
towards their match
at Saturday Night's Main Event. With his faction's momentum now finally being stable, Rollins still has persistent adversaries like Penta, Zayn, Uso, and CM Punk as the bold challengers. While now Knight also emerged since they cost him multiple times.
LA Knight BFTs Seth Rollins after The Visionary steals a win from Penta: Raw, July 7, 2025
Rollins has been making waves on Monday Night Raw ever since WrestleMania 41. After aligning with Heyman to betray
Roman Reigns
and CM Punk at WrestleMania 41, he has built a formidable alliance on Raw. With
powerhouse allies Reed and Breakker
by his side, Rollins secured the coveted Money In The Bank briefcase, positioning himself just one cash-in away from reclaiming a
WWE
world championship title. However, his path to glory is proving far from straightforward.
The buildup feels like the likes of babyfaces on RAW will come together to take down Rollins' faction. Starting with the mainstays of Uso, Penta, and Punk, leading even to the returning Roman Reigns. However, The Visionary would have shifted his focus on cashing in his MITB sucessfully. As Rollins continues to navigate this turbulent landscape, his alliance with Heyman, Reed, and Breakker will be tested. The question remains: can Rollins outmaneuver his enemies and capitalize on his briefcase, or will stars like LA Knight continue to steal the spotlight?

However, after the departures of Steve Austina and The Rock, WWE's popularity suffered a dip, before being resurrected by the likes of Cena and late wrestler Eddie Guerrero. Cena paid tribute to Guerrero in a recent fan interaction, highlighting the latter's role in bringing WWE back to the top. "WWE went through a boom in the Attitude Era and then all those guys, we fired Stone Cold. The Rock left, The Undertaker got hurt, we changed the name, the XFL failed. There was a lot of upside down stuff. We started SmackDown and it had Kurt Angle as its anchor, but we brought Eddie Guerrero and a bunch of (new guys) like Edge and me and a bunch of other new guys and people trying to find their way," John Cena said, speaking during the FAN EXPO in Denver. "Eddie was our champion for for a certain period of time. And he used to tell me that it is the night when the fewest people show up that you have to work 10 times as hard because the presence in that area isn't as strong," Cena further said, hailing Guerrero. The Attitude Era was followed by the toned-down Ruthless Aggression Era, where the likes of Eddie Guerrero played a leading role. Eventually, John Cena rose to popularity, taking advantage of the platform built by Guerrero and co.
