WWE RAW Results: Seth Rollins confesses; Roman Reigns & CM Punk attack; former world champ out indefinitely after injury (8/4/25)

The WWE RAW after SummerSlam kicked off with a recap of the last two nights. Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed showed up in the ring to celebrate Rollins' World Heavyweight Championship win.

We got CM Punk chants from the crowd before Heyman did the intros and made fun of Roman Reigns for not being champ for over a year, as well as of CM Punk for his five-minute title reign.

Rollins said that he always had a plan and that he faked his injury as part of it. The champ only told his plan to two people: his wife, Becky Lynch, and his oracle, Paul Heyman. Seth was gloating about how he managed to pull off the plan and become the champion within moments of his return before LA Knight interrupted him.

Knight got in the ring and congratulated Rollins before saying that Rollins faked his injury to get out of the match at Saturday Night's Main Event. He challenged Seth to a match, and Rollins almost set up a title match for tonight, but then walked it back. As Rollins was leaving, Adam Pearce came out and set up the title match anyway.
