Saturday Night's Main Event: Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight Added to Stacked Card Featuring Gunther vs. Goldberg
Image via Imagn: LA Knight and Seth Rollins With just 12 days out from Saturday Night's Main Event, the stakes couldn't be higher. The blockbuster NBC special is already headlined by Gunther defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Bill Goldberg in what's being billed as Goldberg's final WWE match. Now, WWE has added another huge showdown to the card: Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight! And the could very well be a barnburner. Chaos Ensues on RAW as CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Gunther, and LA Knight brawl FULL SEGMENT: CM Punk, Gunther, Seth Rollins and LA Knight get into wild melee: Raw, June 30, 2025 The June 30 edition of RAW opened with Gunther addressing the WWE Universe. The Austrian powerhouse praised Goldberg's legendary career but didn't hold back his disdain for the Hall of Famer's quick-match legacy. Gunther boldly predicted he would finish Goldberg in under three minutes. As 'The Ring General' wrapped up, Seth Rollins interrupted the segment and warned the Austrian about his Money in the Bank briefcase, which could help him leave with the gold. Gunther mocked Rollins, pointing out his failed cash-in attempt on John Cena 7000 miles away at Night of Champions in Riyadh. Rollins fired back, laughing off the insult and pointing out that while he didn't win the title, he did stop CM Punk from becoming champion. Punk's music hit, and the crowd erupted as he stormed to the ring and engaged Rollins in a wild brawl. Rollins eventually escaped through the crowd, leaving both men hurling insults at one another from a distance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo CM Punk confronts LA Knight: Raw highlights, June 30, 2025 Just as things seemed to settle, Punk turned and shoved Gunther, knocking the champion off his feet and hinting at a future clash between the two icons. Meanwhile, Rollins' night got even worse. As he tried to escape, LA Knight ambushed him from behind in the crowd and continued the beatdown all the way to the merchandise area. 'The Megastar' returned after being taken out by Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed weeks earlier on SmackDown. Following the mayhem, a furious Punk blasted Rollins for fleeing the fight and vowed to handle Rollins and his "flock," including Reed and Breakker, soon. Before leaving, Punk ran into Knight and confronted him about Rollins. Knight then coolly informed Punk that he would be getting the opportunity to teach Rollins a lesson in Atlanta on July 12, a revelation that left Punk visibly annoyed.

Shabir Ahluwalia: I feel we give love too much importance, like it is the centre of our lives
Shabir Ahluwalia Shabir Ahluwalia, currently seen in Love Hai Mushkil, is playing a character who's navigating love through chaos and comedy. But when it comes to his personal views on love in today's fast-paced, dating-app-driven world, the actor has a refreshingly grounded take. On love in today's times, he says, 'I just feel we give love too much importance, like it is the centre of our lives when it's not. For Yug, love is chaos and sorrow. For me, love happens organically. If you like someone, whether it's your friend, family, kids or partner, that's love. It isn't about duties or sacrifices. You don't need to show it; those are things you naturally do for the people you love. So, it comes very organically. ' Defining love in his own words, he adds, ' Jiske saath rehne mein maza aata hai na, usko love kehte hain. Jiske saath kuch bhi na karo aur din guzar jaaye, usko love kehte hain . I think love is not something to be taken too seriously. It's organic.' Shabir Ahluwalia with Kanchi Kaul Shabir has been married to actress Kanchi Kaul since November 27, 2011. The couple shares two sons: Azai, born in 2014, and Ivarr, born in 2016. Their equation has stood the test of time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรด CFDs ด้วยเทคโนโลยีเทรดสุดล้ำ และ รวดเร็วกว่า IC Markets อ่านเพิ่มเติม Undo This is something that's rare in an era of instant connections and swipe-culture relationships. Asked about navigating attraction and temptation in the entertainment industry, he says, 'For me, it's always about going back home to be with my wife and kids after work. I am no one to judge when someone feels attracted to another person. To each their own. But for me, being on set is about working, having fun as colleagues, and that's about it.'

Naturally, fans have been missing their icon and eagerly waiting for updates. Now, a photo of Mammootty shared by his close friend George Mammootty has gone viral — reigniting curiosity and conversation online. 'Nothing serious…' Captioned 'Nothing serious, it's just a chat time,' the candid image shows the veteran actor intently focused on his mobile phone. Fans were quick to ask: is this a still from an upcoming project, or just a casual moment? Some even wondered whether it's a recent capture or an older one.
