During the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12th, the match involving Seth Rollins and La Knight took an unexpected turn due to a real injury sustained by Rollins. Rollins, who had been targeted by La Knight following some weeks of conflict involving his faction teammates Bron Blaker and Bronson Reid, injured his knee after landing awkwardly from a rope jump. Despite trying to continue, Rollins was visibly hurt and was seen conferring with Paul Heyman, WWE ringside doctor Chris Aman, and referee Jessica Kerr. The match ended abruptly when Rollins, upon standing, was quickly taken down by Knight’s BFT finisher, resulting in Knight’s pinfall victory.
La Knight appeared displeased with how the match concluded, and medical staff had to assist Rollins backstage. It was later confirmed by Pwinsider that the injury was real, causing an immediate change in the match outcome that had originally been planned with Rollins winning. Details on the extent of Rollins’ injury are still pending, and updates will be posted as they become available.
Fan Take: This unexpected injury and sudden change in match results highlight the unpredictable nature of wrestling, keeping fans on their toes. It also underscores the physical risks wrestlers face, reminding us why safety and quick medical intervention are crucial in the sport.
