"That's storytelling!" - Former WWE Champion reacts to Seth Rollins' shocking return at SummerSlam

A former WWE Champion reacted to Seth Rollins' surprise return last night at SummerSlam 2025. Rollins suffered an injury at Saturday Night's Main Event last month, but returned following the World Heavyweight Championship match last night at the PLE in New Jersey.

CM Punk defeated Gunther via pinfall last night at SummerSlam to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. The Second City Saint got emotional following the victory as the crowd cheered for him. However, the heartfelt moment was short-lived, as Rollins returned to reveal that his injury was a ruse.

The Visionary cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Punk to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. WWE shared Big E's live reaction to Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, and the former champion praised the storyline.

"That's storytelling! An emotional Punk, weeping, crying that he finally got his moment, and here comes this devil to steal it from him," said Big E. [From 0:27 - 0:36]

Seth Rollins is a part of a faction alongside Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman on RAW.
