Seth Rollins breaks silence on knee injury, expects to be 'out for an extended period of time'
WWE superstar Seth Rollins has confirmed the legitimacy of his knee injury. At WWE Saturday Night's Main Event this past weekend, Rollins took on LA Knight in a match that seemingly ended prematurely around the 11-minute mark. Rollins appeared to suffer a real injury after one of his patented moonsault sequences went awry. Rollins' knee buckled when he landed on his feet, briefly halting the match before leading to an improvised finish that resulted in Knight's victory. Rollins was the special guest host of Wednesday's edition of "The Rich Eisen Show," where he provided an update on his health. "Underneath this monitor, I do have a leg brace on," Rollins said. "Over in the corner are my crutches. ... I hurt my knee. I was doing a move that I do all the time — it's a moonsault, a backflip. In this particular instance, I was landing not on my belly, but on my feet. When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle. We got out of the match, and we moved forward. "Monday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, where our specialists are at. We tried to take a look at the knee. There was an imaging — it was a little too swollen, so we're going to take another look, hopefully in a week or two here in LA to try to get some sort of firm diagnosis, and we can go from there. I am not a doctor. I only know my body and what I feel. And what I feel is that this is going to be me out for an extended period of time." On Monday's edition of "WWE Raw," there was no indication as to what exactly the company plans to do in the absence of Rollins. As the current holder of WWE's men's Money In the Bank briefcase, it was, however, mentioned that Rollins has within the calendar window to cash in his world title opportunity before the next Money In the Bank event in June. The former multiple-time world champion has been the centerpiece of the company since he defeated CM Punk and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 41 in April. As fresh as that moment still feels, it's times like those that Rollins centers his goals around. "It is a bummer, but look, it is what it is. Our business moves on," Rollins said. "This isn't the first time that I've been injured. It won't be the last time, and I've always just got WrestleMania in the back of my mind. Can I make it back for WrestleMania? For WrestleMania season, for the whole thing. My brain always goes there, and I feel good about that. But beyond like a firm timeline, I just won't know until we get a better answer on the MRI. That's where it's at." Rollins, 39, isn't a stranger to knee injuries. He injured the same knee in 2015, and drew some parallels on Wednesday between the two situations. At the same time, he remains positive and is trying to seek out silver linings, such as being able to spend more time with his daughter. "It feels a lot like 2015, in the sense that I was in-story on my way up to taking the top spot," he said. "Now, when I blew my knee out in 2015, I was actually the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. So that was a heartbreaker for me, and I had just sort of reached that mountaintop. We were on the way to WrestleMania, and I felt like I was in for a really big spot that year. This is sort of like that, but again, mentally I'm just in such a different place 10 years on. I'm more comfortable with it."

He stated that while there is no firm timeline, he is optimistic about making it back for WrestleMania. It was also reported that the injury forced WWE to change the planned ending of his match against LA Knight on Saturday. "I've always got WrestleMania in the back of my mind," Rollins said. "I'm like, can I make it back for WrestleMania season? I feel good about that, but beyond a firm timeline, I just don't know until we get a better answer on the MRI." Rollins' injury comes at a pivotal time for his on-screen faction. This past Monday on Raw, Roman Reigns made his surprise return to WWE, attacking Rollins' stablemate Bron Breakker. With Reigns seeking revenge against Rollins and Paul Heyman for the events of WrestleMania 41, Rollins' long-term absence leaves a major question mark over how the storyline will proceed.

Is Brock Lesnar's daughter dating 49ers rookie? Mya Lesner and Drew Moss drop a bomb on WWE and NFL fans
Former mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar's daughter, Mya Lesnar, has officially confirmed her relationship with San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Drew Moss. The two made their romance public this week when Moss posted a pair of photos to Instagram, taken at a wedding. One image showed them smiling for the camera, the other captured Moss kissing Mya on the cheek. The caption: 'Forever wedding date ❤️.' Mya responded in the comment section with, 'My handsome man 😍,' confirming this to be the first time she publicly acknowledged their relationship. From Colorado state to the national spotlight Although this may be their first public reveal, the relationship did not begin overnight. As reported by TMZ Sports, Mya and Drew met while attending Colorado State University, where both competed in sports—she in track and field, and he on the football team. Mya recently made headlines by winning the 2025 NCAA Division I shot put title. Moss, meanwhile, started 25 games over two seasons for CSU before signing with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent earlier this year. A viral reveal with WWE and NFL fans watching Moss's simple Instagram post quickly gained traction. According to the Times of India, the pairing has stirred buzz across both NFL and WWE circles, not just for who they are, but for their athletic pedigrees. Mya is not only a top-tier collegiate athlete but also the daughter of a former WWE and UFC champion. While Moss is yet to make his NFL debut, he has already grabbed attention far beyond training camp headlines. With fans from both the WWE and NFL now watching closely, this young couple may have just turned their college romance into one of sports' most talked-about young relationships.

WWE Evolution 2025 Dominates AEW All In Texas In Google Search Trends
Naomi wins the WWE Women's World Championship after cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase. The wrestling world is still reeling from one of its wildest weekends of the WWE vs. AEW era. Surprisingly, the toughest competition for AEW's biggest show of the year came against WWE Evolution. The all-women's show had a chip on its shoulder after the first women's PLE in seven years was rushed through a short build and moved to Sunday, essentially as cannon fodder for an increasingly bitter wrestling war. 'This entire card has seemed to be a quick turnaround as it is unfortunately and I get it—there's like 7,000 events a month, it seems like [laughs]," said Trish Stratus during an appearance on the Notsam Wrestling Podcast (h/t "But I think there's a little bit of a built-in storyline luckily for Tiffany and I…so yeah, the whole Evolution kind of came about quite quickly for everyone. But, I think it's a little bit of that fantasy-booking, and seeing Tiff and I in there—I think people wanted it and I think it's really gonna deliver. I know it's gonna deliver.' Trish Stratus' premonition came true. Not only did WWE Evolution deliver, it outpaced a seven-hour AEW All In show despite an eight-month build for its main event: an emotional coronation of Hangman Adam Page over Jon Moxley. On Google Trends, from Saturday, July 12, 2025 to Monday, July 14, 2025, searches for 'Evolution' ranked higher than searches for 'AEW All In Texas.' Google Search Trends: AEW All In Vs. WWE Evolution Search terms for 'WWE Evolution 2025' and 'AEW All In 2025' each amassed a search volume of 100k+ over the weekend (beginning on July 11, 2025.) Search terms such as 'All In Texas,' 'All In Results,' 'Hangman Adam Page' and 'Jon Moxley' contributed to All In's search volume. 'Naomi,' 'Evolution results' and 'Charlotte Flair' powered trending searches for WWE Evolution 2025. 'Evolution' appeared a second time in Google Search Trends volume rankings with a search volume of 50k+ starting on July 12. WWE counter-programming its competition is a tale as old as time. Last year, in response to consummate AEW defender Dave Meltzer, billionaire AEW President and CEO Tony Khan tweeted about what he deemed as 'predatory business practices' from WWE. Khan's tweet evoked the name of Jim Crockett Promotions, one of many victims of WWE's cutthroat competitiveness. Khan had similar comments about WWE's counterprogramming during this year's AEW Double or Nothing press conference. '[The counter programming is] pretty consistent,' said Khan (h/t "I'd say it's the most consistent event head-to-head scheduling I've seen Crockett Promotions. So, a lot of scheduling that went that way, and I can tell you this will go a lot differently than that did.' Not to be deterred, AEW All In's marathon showcase encroached on the first hour of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, featuring Goldberg's retirement. SNME still garnered 1.425 million viewers, No. 1 on network TV in the 18-49 demo. Despite being No. 1, the rating was down 28% from May's viewership, however May's SNME—which featured a Steel Cage Match and a John Cena match—was an outlier compared to SNME viewership in December (1.590 million), January (1.494 million) and July (1.425 million.) Coming out of the weekend wrestling wars, Google trending searches suggest things went the way of WWE as they typically do. AEW held its version of WrestleMania, but not only did they have to share that stage with WWE, WWE outshined AEW on short notice. In fact, 'Seth Rollins' (200k+) doubled the search volume of AEW Double or Nothing as fans frantically Googled his apparent knee injury during a match against LA Knight. As of this writing, there is still no confirmation as to the severity—or even the legitimacy—of that particular injury at Saturday Night's Main Event. Seth Rollins out-trended AEW All In 2025 over the weekend by an average search score of 47-22. Much was made about the business sense of WWE airing several shows during the same weekend as AEW All In. While WWE moved tickets impressively, they didn't sell out the way WWE live events have been consistently selling out in 2025. That's not the point. WWE flooding the market during All In was just as much about sabotaging AEW's clout as it was about sabotaging business. It's 2025. This isn't just a wrestling war, it's a click war. WWE's goal was to step on AEW's biggest moment by drumming up interest in WWE content during that same weekend. Mission accomplished. In addition to search trends, several polls suggested Evolution, headlined by quite possibly the greatest WWE women's match of all time and a surprise Naomi cash-in, was the best show of the weekend. By airing so many WWE shows and interfering with AEW's attempt at a turnaround, WWE did what it set out to do. There's no rest for the weary. AEW's next pay-per-view, Forbidden Door 2025, will go head-to-head with NXT Heatwave on Sunday, August 24, 2025.
