Seth Rollins opened up Monday Night Raw to bask in the glow of his victory. Only, that celebration was cut short when Rollins was met by LA Knight, the last man who defeated him in a ring. Knight said he was going to be the next person to defeat Rollins as well and this time, not only was he going to injure him (for real) and take his dignity, but now, he was also going to take his world heavyweight championship. LA Knight challenged Seth Rollins right here, right now&#8230;and Rollins said no to the WWE Raw main event.<\/p>\n<p>But as it turns out, this wasn&#8217;t Rollins&#8217; decision to make. Adam Pearce arrived to express his annoyance with how Rollins had his medical team lie to WWE&#8217;s medical team for weeks. He said normally he wouldn&#8217;t make a title match without promotion and on the spot like that but normally his champion wouldn&#8217;t lie to the GM and the fans either. So Pearce made it official. Rollins vs Knight in the WWE Raw main event. But that wasn&#8217;t it. Pearce believed Rollins had stolen a moment from everyone at SummerSlam so he was going to steal something from him. In the title match, both Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker would be banned from ringside in the WWE Raw main event.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_139554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-139554\" style=\"width: 873px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-139554 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-7.jpg\" alt=\"A photo from WWE SummerSlam fallout 2025 where Seth Rollins cashed in Money in the Bank on CM Punk and will defend his world heavyweight championship in the WWE Raw main event.\" width=\"873\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-7.jpg 873w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-7-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/08\/11-7-768x501.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-139554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/08\/04\/wwe-raw-results-8-4-25-live-updates\/\" target=\"_self\">Follow the rest of our LIVE WWE Raw results from tonight&#8217;s show here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/raw\/2025-08-04\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WWE Raw<\/a> results, WWE Raw main event, world heavyweight championship, and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
