Fast forward to the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw, just one week after Gunther recaptured the world title from Jey Uso. That night, Goldberg made a surprise return to inform the dominant titleholder that "he's next!" at Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, the same city where The Ring General had insulted him and his son. LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins LA Knight will lock horns with Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins, on Saturday Night's Main Event . According to WWE, these two legends have been warring ever since the Money in the Bank Ladder match, where Rollins received help from Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to win the bout and prevent The Megastar from becoming Mr. Money in the Bank. Since then, the two have been attacking each other every week, with Knight blindsiding The Visionary on the June 30 episode of Raw. Now, Knight and Rollins will collide one-on-one for the first time. It will be interesting to watch which legend will walk out of Atlanta with the victory? Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre Drew McIntyre returned to SmackDown to interrupt Orton and Cody Rhodes on July 4.

Randy Orton battled with Cody Rhodes in a brutal King of the Ring final at WWE Night of Champions 2025 in Riyadh that had fans worrying for the Viper's well-being.

With SummerSlam fast approaching, there are also rumors that if Orton is unable to compete (possibly in the near future), WWE may change some creative plans.

Still, that plot may be in jeopardy due to Orton's current conditions. Should the Viper require time off or rehabilitation, WWE would be left to alter course and provide Rhodes with the likes of John Cena or CM Punk, both of whom find themselves in the title conversation, as a new opponent.
