Did anybody expect LA Knight to storm the ring out of nowhere? At the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Knight blindsided Seth Rollins with his signature Blunt Force Trauma attack right after Rollins took down Penta. The crowd exploded. That twist drops a bomb on the upcoming match between Knight and Rollins at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Goldberg Overpowers Gunther
Talk about a flashback moment. Goldberg burst in mid-promos and dropped reigning World Heavyweight Champion Gunther with a clean punch, nearly following up with a spear before Gunther scrambled away. This spectacle supercharged their feud leading into what may be Goldberg’s final in-ring appearance.
Rollins’ Faction Rising—Breakker & Reed in the Mix
Rollins is rolling deep with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. Breakker cut a fiery promo, claiming he’s being groomed to be the future face of WWE, after obliterating Sami Zayn with multiple spears. Reed also made his presence felt by unleashing two monster Tsunamis on Jey Uso—though it ended in DQ. This trio looks set to dominate heading into Evolution.
