WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XL Outcome: Seth Rollins Endures Leg Trauma
In a surprising turn of events at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12, 2025, Seth Rollins suffered a seemingly legitimate knee injury during his first-ever match against LA Knight at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The match, which was expected to be a marquee win for Rollins and a significant loss for Knight, took a dramatic turn when Rollins landed awkwardly while attempting consecutive aerial moves. He collapsed in pain, and Knight quickly capitalized, securing the victory with a BFT finisher.
Rollins was visibly in distress, and with assistance from WWE medical personnel, he was helped backstage, limping all the way. This incident has raised concerns, given Rollins' history of knee injuries[1][2].
At present, Rollins is grappling with a significant knee issue that forced the abrupt end of the match. While no official updates regarding the severity or expected recovery timeline have been reported yet, it appears serious enough to sideline him at least temporarily.
Meanwhile, LA Knight gains momentum from the victory, and WWE may use this incident to escalate their rivalry storylines. There is speculation that a major ally like Omos (the 7 ft 3 in Nigerian Giant) could return to support Rollins and help him overcome LA Knight in this rivalry, potentially reshaping their storyline arcs in the near future[4].
The injury could significantly change the landscape of WWE Raw, as Rollins holds the Money in the Bank briefcase. His absence could open up opportunities for other wrestlers to make their mark.
WWE is considering moving LA Knight to Raw as a fresh start, which could further intensify their feud once Rollins recovers. The finish of the match was an audible, not the planned finish, suggesting that the storyline may continue to unfold in the coming weeks.
While the immediate focus is on Rollins’s knee injury and rehabilitation, the wrestling world eagerly awaits updates on his progress and his potential return to action. In the meantime, LA Knight's victory provides a significant "W" on his record, but the circumstances suggest it was a fluke victory that may not reflect his true abilities[1][2][4].
