"Okay, I'm gonna have to say something about this. Karma's a hell of a thing. I've been watching what's gone on Raw with Seth (Rollins). Seth and I, professional rivals. Not like (CM) Punk and I. Seth has done exactly to Punk what Punk did to me, and tonight was the cherry on top.
"Congratulations Seth. You deserve it, and karma is indeed a biatch."

For those who don't know, during WrestleMania 40, McIntyre had beaten Rollins to clinch the World Heavyweight Championship title before an injured Punk served as the special commentator for the match. Punk and the Scotsman got into a fight after the latter's attempt to mock him.
The entire situation prompted Damien Priest to cash in his Money In The Bank contract and take the title away from McIntyre.

Seth Rollins reveals reason behind faking knee injury on WWE Raw
Seth Rollins has finally revealed the truth behind his dramatic knee injury on WWE Raw , admitting it was all part of a masterfully planned deception. During Monday night's episode in Brooklyn, Rollins explained that faking the injury was a strategic move designed to lull his rivals into a false sense of security.

According to Rollins, only two people knew the truth - his wife, Becky Lynch, and his confidant, Paul Heyman. Not even WWE's medical staff was informed, adding authenticity to the elaborate charade. — WWE (@WWE) Live Events The payoff came at SummerSlam, when Rollins shocked the WWE Universe by dropping his crutches and ambushing CM Punk moments after Punk defeated Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins attacked Punk and stole the title, completing his plan with perfect execution. One key rival, LA Knight, who was absent at SummerSlam, made his return on Raw demanding a title shot. After initially declining, Rollins was forced into a match by Raw GM Adam Pearce, with Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed banned from ringside in retaliation for the deception. — WWE (@WWE) Rollins admitted the commitment to the lie was grueling. "I did everything-gym, preschool drop-offs, beach trips, dinners-all on crutches," he said. "Even my wife was frustrated. She had to lie to friends and family. My daughter thought it was just a fun game." With the reveal now public, Rollins has added another chapter to his legacy-one filled with mind games, calculated risks, and a title heist that shocked the wrestling world.

When Did WWE Legal Clear Brock Lesnar For His Return At SummerSlam? Revealed
Last Updated: Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2025 after a two-year hiatus due to legal issues, setting up a potential feud with John Cena during Cena's farewell tour. Brock Lesnar has made a spectacular return to WWE, ending his two-year hiatus in dramatic fashion at the conclusion of SummerSlam 2025. Known as 'The Beast Incarnate," Lesnar had been away from the ring due to his involvement in the Janel Grant–Vince McMahon lawsuit. Now that the legal matters are resolved, Lesnar is back in WWE storylines, sparking significant excitement. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Lesnar was legally cleared to return by WWE about four weeks before his SummerSlam comeback. Meltzer stated, 'Four weeks ago, WWE Legal cleared him (Brock Lesnar)" and noted that WWE avoided press conferences to keep his return a secret. Lesnar's last WWE appearance was at SummerSlam 2023, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. Appropriately, he made his comeback just as Rhodes defeated John Cena in a brutal Street Fight to win the Undisputed WWE Championship on Night 2 of SummerSlam 2025. As Cena stood alone, Lesnar's entrance music played, stunning the crowd. He entered the ring and delivered a devastating F-5 to Cena, setting the stage for a high-profile feud. Triple H later revealed that Cena specifically requested to work with Lesnar during his farewell tour. A Lesnar vs. Cena showdown now seems likely to be his first major programme. However, Cena is not the only potential target. In January 2024, former WWE employee Janel Grant sued McMahon, alleging that the wrestling company's founder was involved in sex trafficking and subjected her to sexual acts characterised by 'extreme cruelty and degradation." The lawsuit also mentions Lesnar, alleging that McMahon offered Grant to him for sexual encounters. A spokesperson told USA TODAY Sports that Lesnar's return is an 'attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug." 'For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership. Instead of addressing this issue, WWE has done nothing to hold those responsible accountable. This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire," the spokesperson said. 'We look forward to the full set of facts, including those concerning Mr. Lesnar, being revealed in a court of law where they belong." view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
