WWE Superstar Seth "Freakin" Rollins suffered a legitimate knee injury during his match against LA Knight at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on Saturday, July 12, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia.
The incident occurred when Rollins attempted a springboard moonsault, landing awkwardly on his right knee. He immediately clutched his leg in visible pain, and the match was abruptly concluded with an impromptu finish, as LA Knight secured the pinfall. Reports indicate that the injury was not part of a storyline and was not planned by medical personnel.
Rollins was seen being assisted backstage by medical staff and was later spotted on crutches with a knee brace backstage at WWE Evolution, the following night.
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H addressed Rollins' status at the post-Evolution press conference, stating that the situation was "a little bit inconclusive" but "doesn't look good." Rollins is scheduled to undergo an MRI scan on Monday, July 14, in Birmingham, to determine the full extent of the injury.
This is not the first time Rollins has dealt with significant knee issues. In November 2015, he sustained a severe tear to his ACL, MCL, and meniscus, which sidelined him for nearly a year and forced him to relinquish the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. He also underwent surgery for a torn meniscus earlier in 2024.
The timing of this injury is particularly impactful, as Rollins is currently the holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase, granting him a championship match at any time until June 2026. His potential absence throws current WWE creative plans, including those leading into SummerSlam, into uncertainty. The WWE Universe awaits further updates on Rollins' condition and the implications for his Money in the Bank contract.
