Seth Rollins injury update: WWE star injures knee during Saturday Night's Main Event
Seth Rollins appeared to suffer a legitimate injury during Saturday Night's Main Event, putting one of the company's biggest star's immediate future in jeopardy.
The injury occurred during a match against LA Knight. Rollins was on the attack and had attempted a backflip in the ring when his knee buckled. Rollins immediately went down and grabbed at his right knee. He backed into the corner of the ring and talked to the referee and Paul Heyman. LA Knight tried to attack Rollins but the referee stopped anything from happening.

A ringside doctor eventually came and checked in on Rollins. "The Visionary" briefly spoke with the WWE staffer before he got to his feet. LA Knight hit the BFT and got the pin for the win in what seemed like a quick adjustment to the ending.
After the match, people inside Atlanta's State Farm Arena took photos of medical personnel checking on Rollins inside the ring. He then received help walking back to the locker rooms.
While the extent of Rollins' injury is currently unknown, it could be catastrophic and potentially means some big changes to storylines. Rollins is Mr. Money in the Bank, able to cash it in for a championship opportunity at any time, and there was speculation he would do it at Saturday Night's Main Event.

With Heyman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker part of his stable, Rollins was also on a hot streak ever since his WrestleMania 41 win in April. The group has become one of the most menacing in WWE.

Notre Dame quarterback Kenny Minchey makes a bold proclamation following Friday's practice
You love to see when your quarterback has extreme confidence, and Notre Dame's Kenny Minchey did exactly that on Friday following the second fall practice. When speaking with the media, the second-year player proclaimed that he believes that he's 'the best quarterback in the country,' as On3's Jack Soble posted on social media. It's a strong claim, but one that ultimately could come true. Minchey will have to beat out CJ Carr first, but having that kind of confidence will go a long way. Everything that we have seen from his during his limited playing time and in practices seem to suggest that he's got the skill set to lead the Notre Dame offense. He's got the running ability to make defenses account for his legs, and the throwing ability to pop the top off of a defense. It will be a very interesting battle between the two, as the competition continues this fall leading up to the season opener on the road against Miami. Head coach Marcus Freeman will have a very difficult decision to make, but Minchey is very confident in his abilities.

Candace Parker calls effort in WNBA All-Star Game 'awful'
Seven-time WNBA All-Star Candace Parker was unimpressed by the effort in the All-Star Game. Parker criticized the game on a podcast that aired Wednesday, calling it 'awful.' 'Y'all cannot come out there with those shirts of 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' and then do that,' Parker told All-Star Aliyah Boston on their new podcast 'Post Moves.' Parker was referencing the warmup shirts both teams wore at the July 19 game in response to failed collective-bargaining negotiations with the league earlier that week. Players are fighting for higher pay and better benefits, among other improvements. The game set a WNBA All-Star record for points scored and Napheesa Collier set the individual scoring mark with 36 points. Team Collier beat Team Clark 151-131. Defense was at a minimum as the league's stars allowed each other to get shots up without contest. It wasn't unlike the all-star games across other pro leagues, but Parker was looking for more from WNBA players at a time when they're in the spotlight. 'I think on one of the biggest stages, in an All-Star setting that was invested in more than any other All-Star game previously. … I think it would've really maximized the moment.' Fever forward Boston, who played on Team Clark, defended the performance of her and her peers. 'An All-Star Game, where we have another game in two days, I think that it's OK to just go out there and hoop and have some fun,' she said. 'Because on Tuesday, we were back at it, and we were playing and we were showing once again why we deserve to get paid.' ___ AP WNBA: Alyce Brown, The Associated Press
