Seth Rollins, the 2025 Mr. Money in the Bank winner, is at the center of growing speculation regarding his WWE return as SummerSlam approaches. During his recent bout against LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event XL, Rollins injured his knee while attempting a Springboard Moonsault, raising questions about the severity and legitimacy of the injury.
Fans and experts have since debated whether Rollins’ condition is a genuine setback or a storyline device. John Pollock from POST Wrestling initially claimed that the injury was scripted to build anticipation before SummerSlam. Rollins himself later confirmed on The Rich Eisen Show that the injury was real and that he would require an extended absence from the ring.
Contrasting this, Wrestling News Observer reported that the planned main event for SummerSlam 2025 Night One pits Gunther against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title, culminating with Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. If accurate, WWE may be blurring the lines to convince viewers that Rollins’ injury is authentic.
Mixed Signals as Rollins Appears on Crutches
Recent footage adds complexity to Seth Rollins’ status, as Becky Lynch posted a video on her Instagram story showing Rollins on crutches, walking with his young daughter. This public sighting reinforces the notion he is sidelined, yet creates contrast with reports of his impending return.
On the most recent episode of RAW, Paul Heyman mentioned that Rollins would remain out of in-ring action for a lengthy period, even inviting Roman Reigns to join his faction. This narrative could be a strategic move by WWE and The Oracle to deepen fan uncertainty ahead of a potential cash-in moment at SummerSlam.
Fans Anticipate a Major Twist at SummerSlam
The ongoing mixture of real injury updates and storyline hints has left the WWE fanbase uneasy and reflective about what to expect from Seth Rollins. Should he make his return in dramatic fashion by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract as suggested, it would represent a significant moment for both SummerSlam and his career trajectory.
Rollins’ ability to keep audiences guessing by balancing injury reality and kayfabe adds tension to the build-up, making his potential cash-in one of the most anticipated moments on the WWE calendar for 2025.
