Seth Rollins made his return to Monday Night Raw this week, setting his sights on the current World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The Visionary aimed to send a clear message to the entire locker room, including The Ring General. However, his statement was abruptly cut short when he was ambushed by former United States Champion LA Knight, reigniting their intensifying rivalry.

During his confrontation with Gunther, Seth Rollins was unexpectedly interrupted by CM Punk, who emerged from the crowd. As The Visionary basked in the spotlight, The Defiant One struck with a surprise popcorn attack, catching Rollins off guard. Punk then shoved him through the curtains toward the front of the arena, where LA Knight continued the assault with a flurry of punches in front of the WWE Universe.

Despite the chaos, the former WWE Champion ultimately managed to retreat backstage. However, The Megastar was visibly enraged, still seething over the recent attempt by Rollins and his faction to end his career on SmackDown weeks ago. Fueled by vengeance, Knight stormed into the offices of General Managers Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis, demanding a match against Mr. Money in the Bank.

Wasting no time, the General Managers granted LA Knight a singles match against Seth Rollins at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Remarkably, this will mark the first-ever one-on-one encounter between the two WWE superstars, making it a dream clash for the WWE Universe in Atlanta later this month. With tensions at an all-time high, all eyes will be on July 12 to see who walks out of SNME with the ultimate glory.

Seth Rollins revealed why he went to Saudi Arabia last week for Night of Champions

Seth Rollins shocked the WWE Universe when he interfered in the Undisputed WWE Championship match between John Cena and CM Punk at Night of Champions. At first, it appeared The Visionary was preparing to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on the coveted title. However, on this week’s episode of Raw, Rollins revealed his true motive for traveling to Saudi Arabia.

In the Raw confrontation, Gunther questioned The Architect how it felt to travel all the way to Saudi Arabia, only to fail in cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. Rollins responded with a smug laugh, revealing that cashing in was never part of the plan. Instead, he declared that he made a promise — as long as he’s in WWE, CM Punk will never become World Champion.

Mr. Money in the Bank declared that his mission was a success as he had stopped CM Punk from capturing the Undisputed Title. Rollins then turned his attention to Gunther, warning The Ring General to watch his back, as a cash-in could happen at any moment—even on him in the coming month. While Gunther acknowledged the threat, he responded with a smug expression, hinting at a potential showdown between the two powerhouses shortly.
