Seth Rollins Set to Launch Major Rivalry Following WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event

A chaotic episode of WWE RAW has officially set the stage for a major singles match, as Seth Rollins is now scheduled to face the returning LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The bout was confirmed by WWE following a physical altercation between the two that erupted in the arena’s concourse.

The conflict ignited during the June 30th broadcast. After Rollins and Paul Heyman interrupted World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, CM Punk hit the ring to brawl with his rival. As Rollins retreated through the crowd to escape Punk, he was ambushed by Knight, leading to a second intense fight that set their match in motion. This confrontation underscores the number of adversaries Rollins has accumulated since his heel turn.

With the Money in the Bank briefcase in hand, Rollins has become the top antagonist on the red brand, flanked by his dominant faction featuring Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. This new powerhouse group, aligned with Paul Heyman since WrestleMania 41, has systematically targeted top stars, but their actions have put a significant target on Rollins’ back. His interference at Night of Champions, which was a key factor in CM Punk’s loss to John Cena, has only intensified the animosity from the “Best in the World.”

At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Rollins will have Breakker and Reed in his corner, creating a significant numbers advantage. While CM Punk is expected to be present to support LA Knight, he would still face a two-on-one disadvantage against Rollins’ enforcers at ringside.

This potential handicap situation has fueled speculation about a ghost from Rollins’ past making a return. An analysis of the current storyline suggests the possibility of Roman Reigns appearing to even the odds. Such a return would not only save Punk from an inevitable beatdown but could also lay the groundwork for a massive six-man tag team match at SummerSlam pitting Rollins, Breakker, and Reed against a unified front of Reigns, Knight, and Punk. This scenario, however, remains purely hypothetical.
