• WWE Stars Unhappy Over Seth Rollins Situation
Seth Rollins’ knee injury on Saturday Night’s Main Event was a work. He returned after the main event of SummerSlam 2025 – Night 1 and cashed-in his Money In The Bank contract on CM Punk to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Michael Cole called it the “Ruse of the Century.”
According to PWInsider, the way the Seth Rollins situation was handled (where everyone was lied to about Seth’s condition) seems to have left a bad taste for many, both among backstage staff and the in-ring talent.
Rollins is set to defend the World Heavyweight Title against CM Punk, LA Knight and Jey Uso in a Fatal 4-Way match at the Clash In Paris PLE on August 31st.
• WWE Disrespected Bret Hart At SummerSlam 2025
During an appearance at Vaughan Con, Bret Hart revealed that WWE disrespected him at SummerSlam 2025. Here’s what the only 3-time WWE Hall of Famer said:
“I went to SummerSlam, they invited me down, told me they wanted me to be in the crowd. And once I got there, they told me they didn’t have any seats. But I noticed Kevin Nash got a seat. Maybe I finally realized that I don’t feel they really fully appreciate me, even after Hulk (Hogan) passing. There’s no certain appreciation for anything I did.
But I do think that I speak for a different time and a different place in the wrestling world. The young wrestlers today like (CM) Punk and FTR, and (others in) AEW, they’re true fans of mine and they emulate me or try to do little things that I did in my matches and mimic it, just as sort of a salute or a nod, to say ‘this is for you’ or whatever. And I appreciate that.
But I don’t think the WWF, the company, I don’t think they give a sh*t about anything. And I don’t think they care about the past.”
