Seth Rollins suffers knee injury at WWE Main Event

WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event returned for its 40th edition at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, on a night that delivered high-energy matches, big surprises, and a dramatic injury that could reshape the future of the company. While the show boasted legendary names like Goldberg and emerging superstars such as LA Knight, it was a concerning knee injury to Seth Rollins that stole the spotlight. With Rollins being one of WWE's cornerstone stars, this injury casts a shadow over the brand as it enters a crucial stretch leading into SummerSlam.

Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight: A Match That Stopped the Show

The moment of the night was the match that saw the high-flying Seth Rollins square off against the rapidly rising LA Knight. The bout was an instant crowd-pleaser, with both stars engaging in a back-and-forth exchange that captivated the audience. However, near the conclusion of the match, Rollins attempted a springboard moonsault. LA Knight successfully evaded the move, causing Rollins to awkwardly land on his feet, immediately clutching his knee in apparent agony.

It was a scary moment that halted the match's flow as Rollins struggled to regain his composure. After being checked on by the referee and WWE's ringside doctor, Rollins opted to finish the match, but the situation quickly escalated. Within moments, Knight hit his Blunt Force Trauma finisher, securing a sudden victory.

While the match itself was a solid outing, the concern surrounding Rollins' injury overshadowed the result. With Rollins already having a history of knee problems, this looked like more than just a minor tweak. After the match, the camera caught Rollins being helped backstage during a commercial break, leaving fans wondering about the extent of his injury.

If this turns out to be a legitimate injury, the ramifications for Monday Night Raw could be significant. Rollins has been the anchor of the brand throughout 2025, following his landmark WrestleMania 41 victory. If Rollins is sidelined, WWE faces the challenge of finding a replacement for its biggest star and possibly adjusting the Money in the Bank storyline, as Rollins had been heavily involved in that narrative. Could LA Knight be the one to take the briefcase from Rollins? Or perhaps Bron Breakker steps into the spotlight as a challenger? WWE faces a precarious situation as it heads toward SummerSlam.

Gunther vs. Goldberg: A Fitting Farewell to a Legend

The night’s main event featured a clash between WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Goldberg, billed as the latter’s final match. At 58 years old, Goldberg’s career has been filled with legendary moments, but his more recent in-ring appearances had left some fans feeling underwhelmed. However, this match in Atlanta was the perfect sendoff for the Hall of Famer.

While the match didn’t deliver a technical masterpiece, it provided everything fans hoped for from a Goldberg farewell: a monumental entrance, dominating early offense from the veteran, and plenty of explosive moments. Gunther, known for his powerhouse wrestling style, made Goldberg look strong early, but in the end, it was the Imperial champion who triumphed. The storytelling in the match was compelling, with Gunther asserting his dominance while paying homage to Goldberg’s legacy.

As the match concluded, the crowd gave Goldberg a standing ovation. It may not have been the most technically polished match, but it was the perfect final chapter for Goldberg’s storied WWE career. For those who have followed the industry since the Monday Night Wars, this moment felt both nostalgic and appropriate.

Solo Sikoa Retains U.S. Title: Cheating, Tactics, and Momentum

In a hard-hitting contest, Solo Sikoa defended his United States Championship against Jimmy Uso in what was a pivotal match for both men. Uso, who's in-ring ability continues to impress, was looking for his first solo title run, but the match would take a surprising turn.

Despite a valiant effort, Sikoa managed to retain his title through underhanded tactics. The victory was controversial but built further momentum for Sikoa, who had fallen short in his quest for the Tribal Combat match earlier this year. As for Uso, his performance continued to elevate him as a potential future top singles star. With both men seemingly on the rise, a potential showdown at SummerSlam could further intensify the brewing rivalry between the Bloodline members.

Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre: The Precursor to SummerSlam

One of the more surprising matchups of the night saw Randy Orton square off against Drew McIntyre in a match that did not disappoint. As expected, there was some outside interference — this time, from Logan Paul and Jelly Roll, who played pivotal roles in the aftermath. The chaotic post-match scene hinted at a SummerSlam showdown, where the two teams could settle their differences in a tag team match. Orton, McIntyre, Paul, and Roll could make for an unpredictable combination, and with SummerSlam approaching, fans can only speculate on how this will unfold.

Looking Ahead to SummerSlam

The 40th edition of Saturday Night's Main Event set the stage for some big storylines as SummerSlam approaches. With an injury to Rollins, the uncertainty around the Money in the Bank situation, and the looming presence of top stars like Gunther and Goldberg, the future of WWE is on the edge of change. As we head into MetLife Stadium for SummerSlam, the stakes have never been higher. Fans can expect even more drama, surprises, and storylines to unfold over the coming weeks.
