Seth Rollins Set To Defend World Heavyweight Championship Against These 3 WWE Superstars

NDTV12-08-2025
Seth Rollins grabbed the limelight after thrashing CM Punk to clinch the World Heavyweight Championship title on the first night of the WWE SummerSlam 2025. Punk did his best to beat the defending champion Gunther, but just as the WWE icon held the Heavyweight Championship belt in his hands, an 'injured' Seth Rollins cashed his Money In The Bank contract to fight Punk in the same ring. However, Rollins' title is now in danger and he needs to protect it in Paris.
On Monday, WWE officially announced a Fatal 4-Way match, where Rollins will be up against three giants, in order to defend his World Heavyweight Championship title.
RAW General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Rollins will have to fight against Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight. The fight will be held on August 31, at the Paris La Defense Arena in Nanterre, France.

This is going to be an interesting encounter as Rollins' team members, the Brons - Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed have been making new enemies. Also, Punk would be eager to avenge his defeat.
Earlier during the first night, the eyes of the fans in the arena popped out as Rollins' injury turned out to be a ruse. It didn't take long for Rollins to beat Punk and snatch the World Heavywieght title from his hands.
The manner in which the World heavywieght Championship fight unfolded drew reactions from all across the WWE Universe. Drew McIntyre called the outcome of the battle a result of 'Karma'.
"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."

San Diego Padres victory over San Francisco Giants overshadowed by brutal takedown of teenager

Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward celebration of impressive pitching and timely hitting was overshadowed by a surprising incident where a young teenager ran onto the field and was forcefully tackled by security. San Diego Padres fans watch in disbelief as young intruder leaps barrier onto the field As the eighth inning was winding down and the San Diego Padres were comfortably ahead. A young teen, thought to be around 13 to 15 years old, suddenly burst out from the stands and ran onto the outfield grass. Witnesses and video evidence show that the teen leaped over a low barrier in the outfield seats, which is a usual entry point for such escapades at Petco Park because of how close it is to the field. Clad in casual dark clothes, the boy seemed to be trying to pull off a fun stunt, maybe inspired by the lull in action during what some fans referred to as a "boring" blowout game. When the teen dashed across the grass, seemingly targeting the infield or the players, security quickly jumped into action. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like It's so easy and quick [Sell Now] Cars24 - Sell Your Car Sell Now Undo The first clips reveal two guards approaching slowly, looking uncertain as they realized the intruder was just a kid.

The impact was intense, with the teen hitting the ground hard before extra guards piled on to keep him restrained Fans demand accountability after claims the teenager was almost paralyzed After the video went viral, social media was stormed with backlash. Many fans pointed out the unnecessary aggressiveness of the security guards. One user on X commented, 'Unnecessary roughness and 15 yards at the end of the play' while another user said, 'The dude who literally almost paralyzed him needs to be fired'. There was also a comment which said, 'That last guy to tackle him sits around all day waiting for someone to run on the field so he can exercise even the smallest amount of power, and he wasn't going to miss his opportunity just because it was a kid who had already stopped running. Pathetic.'. Also Read: Angels Beats Dodgers for Sixth Time: List of all Top Performers, Best Scorers and More While these pointed out the reaction of those security guards.
