Seth Rollins wanted to work this WWE star with his injury angle.
Season 2 of WWE: Unreal recently dropped on Netflix, and it has proven to be an intriguing watch. The docuseries pulls back the curtain on creative meetings, match rehearsals, and everything in between that separates kayfabe from reality.
Speaking of kayfabe, fans also get to see the lengths WWE went to in order to fake Seth Rollins’ knee injury. The Visionary infamously “injured” himself during a match against LA Knight at Saturday Night’s Main Event in July 2025.
The injury angle ultimately turned out to be a ruse, as Rollins dropped his crutches to successfully cash in his Money in the Bank contract against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2025.
Triple H details injury angle conversation with Seth Rollins
Speaking on WWE: Unreal, Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealed that Seth Rollins did not think LA Knight needed to know that the injury was fake.
“Seth came to me, and he said, ‘Why does LA Knight need to know? I don’t feel like he needs to know.’
“And I said, ‘Seth, if the roles were reversed on this and I didn’t tell you, you would be out of your mind pissed at me because you’re a professional in the ring and your first thought is to make sure your opponent is safe and doesn’t get hurt and all these things.’
“‘He gets hurt on your watch, and then you find out later it’s all bullshit, you’d be out of your mind mad that I didn’t clue you in on that.’
“And then he paused for a few seconds, looked at me, and went, ‘Fair enough,’ and never brought it up with me again. He has to know.” [H/T: WrestleTalk]
Elsewhere on WWE: Unreal, Triple H gave LA Knight an earful for not sticking to the original plan for the finish of the 2025 WWE Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Fans can read the full story here.
