Seth Rollins Details The Lengths He Went To Sell His Injury Leading Into SummerSlam
Rollins returned Saturday night at SummerSlam and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on CM Punk to become World Heavyweight Champion once again.
WWE Superstar Seth Rollins was a recent guest on The Rich Eisen Show. During his appearance, Rollins detailed the lengths that he went to sell the injury heading into SummerSlam.
'My wife is an unwilling participant in this ruse,' Seth Rollins said. 'She was very upset at me for making me lie to all of her friends and family for the better part of three weeks. She was very upset. I said, 'Honey, just trust me, the payoff will be great.' My daughter thought it was a game. She thought it was a fun little game.
'I told her, 'Daddy has a pretend boo-boo for the next few weeks. Let's keep that on the low.' First thing she did was go and tell her preschool teacher, Ms. Joy, immediately. Then, she had to tell me she told Ms. Joy and gave me the classic, 'Na-na-boo-boo, I told Ms. Joy.' I'm like, 'How am I supposed to live my life? How am I supposed to get this through. Focus. Kayfabe, young Roux, kayfabe.' Here we are, three weeks later, nobody went to the dirt sheets or the news. Thank you, Roux, thank you, Ms. Joy. It was an honor and a pleasure.
Three weeks of being on crutches
'The payoff was more beautiful than I could have expected. 'Limping around on those crutches for three weeks was excruciating. That was painful. I went to the gym, I took my daughter to the beach for ice cream, I dropped her off at the preschool, I went for a nice steak dinner with my wife, Bianca Belair, and Montez Ford with the crutches. I did it all on crutches.
'It was excruciating. The crutches alone were painful. I thought I was going to get a shoulder injury, a real one, get surgery and go to Birmingham legit. I was getting irritable, my wife was putting up with me being grumpy. It was a tough one, but we pulled through and did it. For the greater good.' [H/T: Fightful]
Seth Rollins will appear on RAW later tonight, where he will address his actions to the WWE Universe.

Despite Online MAGA Freakout About Her Jeans, Sydney Sweeney's New Movie Bombs
A couple of weeks ago, American Eagle launched a new ad campaign for its blue jeans line that featured actress Sydney Sweeney. In one of the ads, Sweeney weirdly broached the topic of genetics (she said, and I quote: 'genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue'), but, for the most part, the ads seems to be about how great Sweeney's posterior looks when she's wearing the company's denim. Not long after the jeans ads aired, the internet collectively lost its mind. One TikToker compared the ad to 'Nazi propaganda' and, soon, NPR had dubbed it the 'ad campaign that launched a thousand critiques.' CNN asked what America had 'learned' from the Sweeney 'situation.' Vox used the episode to wax eloquent about the 'unsettling legacy of the blonde bombshell.' Dr. Phil and Lizzo both got upset—for different reasons—and America's president, in a move that was very on-brand for him, issued a mispelling-strewn statement calling 'Sidney' the 'HOTTEST.' Meanwhile, a number of high-profile MAGA folks (including J.D. Vance, Charlie Kirk, and Ted Cruz) attempted to commandeer the topic, and use it to engineer a backlash to the supposed backlash to Sweeney's ads. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone magazine unveiled a timeline of America's conservatives efforts to 'claim' Sweeney for themselves as a cultural icon. Based on the national conversation we were all just forced to have about Sweeney and her jeans, one would've thought MAGA's collective lust for Sweeney could have easily been translated into hefty box office numbers for her newest movie, Americana. After all, if middle America is now collectively salivating over Sweeney, wouldn't they want to go see her every chance they get? Apparently that's not how things worked out, however. Sweeney's new movie only garnered some $500,000 during its opening weekend, The Hollywood Reporter has noted. Film critics have been lukewarm to positive about the film, with Vulture calling it 'a '90s-style ensemble crime movie that engages in a sly exploration of the iconography and mythology we use to define the country' and noting that the film is not 'particularly political' but that it is 'blessed with a fairly strong cast.' However, Americana's real problem would appear to be less the fact that its lead actress's brand endorsements have stirred up controversy and more about the fact that most people haven't heard of it. I go to the movies a lot, and am generally aware of the upcoming developments at my local cinema, and I can't say that I'd even seen an ad for Americana or heard much about it prior to writing this article. The movie's ad, which seems to offer a run-of-the-mill comedic crime romp, doesn't have much of a partisan bent. The internet is not a real place, but not infrequently, through a kind of alchemical magic, it can produce real-world events. Sometimes the web can stir up so much ideological turmoil that it spills offline and into the real world (just look at January 6th, if you need an example). The problem is that no one really cared that deeply about the American Eagle ad in the first place. A few pissed off leftist people online and a gaggle of MAGA commentators attempted to get everyone to care about it, and the news media carried the story into our collective consciousness, if only to have something somewhat entertaining to write about instead of the incessant horrors visited upon us daily by the Trump administration. For Fox News, it was a way to avoid talking about the incessant horrors visited upon us daily by the Trump administration, in a different way. Still, despite the best efforts of a select few to make the Great Jeans War of 2025 happen, America's heart just wasn't in it. A recent poll from The Economist/YouGov showed only 12 percent of Americans found the ad 'offensive.' We've been through a solid half-decade of having our minds messed with by the Extremely Online, and America may have completely exhausted its moral panics.

A daring prison escape, crypto boom, huge Powerball jackpot: Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Now's a good time to pick up some Powerball tickets. The jackpot for Monday night's drawing just passed $600 million — the biggest so far this year. No one has won since the end of May. Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day. Grant Hardin, a one-time police chief, evaded authorities for more than 10 days in the rocky terrain and dense vegetation of rural northwest Arkansas. His prison escape plan, hatched over several months, included Sharpie markers and a handmade badge. Americans started their back-to-school shopping earlier this year, worried that tariffs would raise prices. Families looking for deals on sneakers and laptops are finding them in a less traditional place — and at a fraction of the cost of major retailers. This summer has been one to remember for cryptocurrency. A growing number of enthusiastic investors are embracing it — spurred in large part by White House support and sweeping legislative changes in Washington. The once-thriving Roman city of Pompeii resembles an eerie time capsule, seemingly unoccupied since a catastrophic volcanic eruption in AD 79 buried everything under a blanket of ash. But new findings reveal a little-known postscript. Do people cancel plans with you at the last minute, flake out for no good reason or just go MIA? It could be because you're a bad friend.
