A chaotic collision of rivalries on this past Monday’s episode of WWE RAW resulted in a major match being set for Saturday Night’s Main Event, as the returning LA Knight secured a bout against Seth Rollins. The segment also saw CM Punk and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther become physically involved, further complicating multiple intersecting storylines.
The turmoil began when Gunther was in the ring to address his scheduled SNME opponent, Goldberg. His promo was cut short by Seth Rollins, who, accompanied by Paul Heyman, came to the ring. After a verbal jab from Gunther about a failed Money in the Bank cash-in, Rollins revealed his primary intention had been to prevent CM Punk from winning the WWE Championship. This admission promptly brought Punk to the ring, igniting a brawl between the two.
As Rollins retreated through the crowd, he was ambushed by a returning LA Knight near the concession stands. While that drama unfolded, Gunther attempted to stop Punk from leaving the ring by grabbing his arm. In response, Punk shoved the World Heavyweight Champion to the mat, creating a tense new standoff between the two superstars.
Following the multi-layered confrontation, WWE officially announced the match between Rollins and Knight for Saturday Night’s Main Event. The announcement became a point of contention backstage, where CM Punk confronted Knight, telling him to get to the back of the line for a match with Rollins. Knight coolly informed Punk that the match was already official, much to Punk’s visible frustration.
The match at SNME represents a significant opportunity for LA Knight to gain retribution. Their rivalry ignited weeks ago, stemming from Rollins‘ interference that ultimately cost Knight a chance at securing the Money in the Bank contract.
This high-profile encounter adds another major draw to the Saturday Night’s Main Event card. The event is scheduled for July 12 in Atlanta, Georgia, and will also feature the highly anticipated World Heavyweight Championship match between Gunther and Goldberg.
