"Just a harmless rib," "The WWE reference lol" - Fans erupt after AEW star MJF subtly mocks Seth Rollins following his fake injury saga 

At SummerSlam 2025, Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on the newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk. The Visionary soon dethroned The Second City Saint a became the new champion.

Last month at Saturday Night's Main Event XL, Rollins suffered a knee injury. It was believed that he was going to be out of action for a prolonged period. However, he shocked the world at the above premium live event. The Architect's triumph was one of the most memorable moments in recent WWE history. Fans worldwide seemingly got worked by this fake injury saga. Interestingly, a few hours ago, AEW star MJF subtly made fun of this narrative.

Maxwell Jacob Friedman posted a picture of himself attacking CMLL star Flip Gordon, who was already in an orthopedic cast. Furthermore, from its caption, it was obvious that he was referencing Rollins' fake injury.

"Heard @theflipgordon got hurt during his match so I figured I’d make sure it wasn’t just a rumor….." wrote MJF.

Fans noticed the WWE reference dropped by The Salt of the Earth and reacted to it.

Seth Rollins hated his old moniker

Seth Rollins was once known as Seth "Freakin" Rollins. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, the 39-year-old revealed that this moniker was Vince McMahon's idea, and he was not a fan of it.

"I give that credit to the old man. The middle name was his idea back in the day. I don’t remember why. I don’t remember how it came about. I think he was bored, just bored with Seth Rollins," said the World Heavyweight Champion. [H/T: Wrestling News]

Hopefully, The Visionary will have a glorious title reign and end this year on a high note.
