Seth Rollins is headed to Los Angeles to compete in the 2025 men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. This week on Raw, The Visionary pinned Finn Balor in a triple-threat qualifier that also included Sami Zayn . Rollins took full advantage of a miscue by Dominik Mysterio , who’d slid a steel chair into the ring to bail out his Judgment Day cohort.
However, the questionable throw by Mysterio, fairly out of The Prince’s grasp, cost the latter dearly. Rollins stomped Balor’s head onto that piece of metal, which was all The Architect needed to get the three count. It was another one of those instances where Dirty Dom inadvertently screwed things up for The Irish Captor. But Rollins wouldn’t complain at all.

He’s set for his first MITB ladder match appearance since 2022, where he came agonizingly close to winning the briefcase. The former Shield member has joined the likes of Penta, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight in this year’s iteration of the ladder match, with a couple more men to be added. Rollins has made it clear that he’s eyeing the world heavyweight title.

The Revolutionary battled Jey Uso for it a few weeks ago, but he couldn’t wrestle away the belt, thanks to Sami Zayn and CM Punk‘s interference. The Iowa native lost the world title at WrestleMania XL to Drew McIntyre. Since then, the Chicago Bears buff has been trying to revert back to that glory.
The timing couldn’t be any better for Rollins than now, with Paul Heyman serving as his special counsel, let alone Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed as his henchmen.
CM Punk attacked Seth Rollins after his emphatic win on Raw
Even though Seth Rollins advanced to the Money in the Bank PLE on the back of emerging triumphant on Raw, he did have his backup in place. During the closing moments of that triple threat matchup against Sami Zayn and Finn Balor, Rollins’ aides, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, went right after Zayn.
However, it didn’t take long for Jey Uso to even the odds, but he eventually got wrecked by The Unpredictable Badass. After Rollins had done his part and qualified, CM Punk‘s music hit. The Drip God directed Breakker and Reed to make a beeline for Punk at the entrance stage. However, The Best in the World had a foolproof plan, as he snuck into the ring from behind.
Just when Rollins turned his back, Punk clocked him with a GTS. The ex-AEW star quickly retreated from the spot and celebrated with the fans in attendance. Punk was targeted by The Auszilla upon his surprise return at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
It’s worth noting that the 36-year-old buckled his knee inside WarGames while trying to crush the veteran with a tsunami from the top of the double-caged structure. Reed got his pound of flesh on Punk this past weekend.
Paul Heyman explained Bronson Reed’s alliance with Seth Rollins on Raw
This week’s Raw from Tampa kicked off with Seth Rollins and company heading to the ring. The onus was on Paul Heyman to set a premise for his client’s vision heading into the future. Heyman first lauded Bron Breakker and delivered a spoiler that he’d main event a number of WrestleMania(s) a few years from now.
The WWE Hall of Famer soon turned his attention to Bronson Reed and explained his addition to the Rollins-led group. The Wiseman noted that WWE would never present Reed with actual competition when he was more than ready to take the gauntlet to the top-tier names on the roster. Heyman argued that the WWE management was afraid of the fact that The Auszilla was too reckless.
“Bronson Reed is a violent man in the PG era. He went after WWE's top wrestler. He went after Seth Rollins. In one night, he destroyed Rollins more than Roman destroyed Rollins in 10 years.”

Heyman went on to assert that’s when Reed took the initiative to break out on his own and ultimately went after Rollins last year. The Bloodline’s former manager quipped that Reed did more damage to Rollins in one night than Roman Reigns could do in 10 years and CM Punk in his entire career.

Steelers make hard decision to part ways with once-promising defensive player
The Pittsburgh Steelers sought to bolster their secondary during the 2024 NFL season, and an unlikely solution quickly emerged in undrafted free agent Beanie Bishop Jr. In his rookie season, Bishop impressed by intercepting four passes and showing flashes of playmaking ability. However, following the 2024 campaign, it became clear that Pittsburgh wanted more than just Bishop to play a nickel role, and instead, across their secondary. After making several moves to strengthen depth in the secondary, Bishop's role diminished. He was moved to the practice squad, but after the Steelers were reportedly signing wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad on Monday, Bishop was forced off the roster. It was officially announced on Monday that the Steelers would be releasing Bishop from their practice squad. Bishop’s release underscores the harsh realities of roster management in the NFL. Despite his rookie success, the team clearly prioritized adding depth and flexibility elsewhere, particularly at wide receiver. While Bishop showed potential as a ballhawk, the Steelers’ secondary has now shifted toward veterans and other younger options to solidify the unit. For Bishop, this is likely not the end of his NFL journey, as players with his skill set often find opportunities on other teams or return to practice squads later in the season. Steelers fans will remember his contributions, but the organization appears focused on reshaping the roster for greater overall depth heading into the 2025 season. When the Steelers faced the Aaron Rodgers-led New York Jets during the 2024 NFL season, Bishop rose to the occasion. Targeted by the future Hall of Famer, Bishop answered the call in spectacular fashion, intercepting Rodgers not once, but twice. The performance instantly became a defining moment for the rookie, showcasing his ball-hawking instincts and fearlessness on the field. Ex-Steelers DB steals two footballs from Aaron Rodgers back in 2024 The game did not just make headlines for the on-field heroics. Afterward, Bishop went viral for his heartfelt postgame antics, making it clear that he expected Rodgers to autograph both intercepted footballs he kept. The moment captured the attention of fans and social media alike, cementing Bishop’s reputation as a confident and charismatic young player who was not afraid to make his mark. It is a memory that Bishop and Steelers fans will likely treasure for years to come. Bishop was thrilled to learn that in the 2025 offseason, Rodgers would be joining the Steelers. Rodgers became part of the team for the 2025 season. While it does not appear that the two are currently teammates, the ever-revolving nature of NFL practice squads means this may not be Bishop’s last opportunity in Pittsburgh or in the NFL. His rookie season showed his talent and potential, and there could still be a chance for him to make an impact in the Steel City or elsewhere in the league.
Seahawks GM's comments offer clue at potential NFL trade deadline partners
If there was any question about whether the Seattle Seahawks should be buyers or sellers going into the NFL trade deadline, last night's crushing victory over the Washington Commanders answered it. After eight games played, Seattle has a top-five scoring offense, a top-five scoring defense and a special teams unit that's making high-impact plays routine. That gives the Seahawks all the reason in the world to be aggressive at the trade deadline, and the latest reporting suggests that's exactly what they're going to do. General manager John Schneider may have offered a hint in his pre-game radio hit with KIRO, saying that the Seahawks spoke with teams at the Maryland-Indiana game on Saturday. That give us an idea of who they might be dealing with, based on the reports of the other teams who sent personnel to that game. That includes the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Jets, the Carolina Panthers, the Cleveland Browns and the Washington Commanders, who may have had some extra face time with the Seahawks during last night's game. We can safely cross the 49ers off the list of potential trade partners, but we can't do that with any others. The one question mark is the Panthers - and nobody seems to know which way they're leaning. Carolina is a surprise 5-4 after shocking the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, but the gap between the Panthers and the NFC teams currently on pace for a playoff spot is pretty massive. That makes the Jets, Browns and Commanders the most likely candidates to make a deal with the Seahawks from this list but we also have to assume they're talking with other teams. Pete Carroll's Raiders are another obvious potential trade partner based on their relationship and the fact that they're 2-6 going into the deadline. The Seahawks have also had a long history of making deals with the Philadelphia Eagles, who need cornerback help an have reportedly been considering a deal for Riq Woolen. On that note, the math may have changed last night due to the injuy to Josh Jobe, who was ruled out early with a concussion. Woolen responded with his best game of the season - which might be just enough to convince the Seahawks to keep him around for the playoffs.
Jerry Jones reveals Cowboys made surprise trade ahead of MNF vs. Cardinals
During an appearance on SiriusXM, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Dallas made a trade Monday. However, Jones reportedly refused to reveal who the Cowboys had acquired. “Cowboys owner Jerry Jones @SIRIUSXM just said Dallas has made a trade and could possibly make a couple of more before tomorrow’s deadline,” The Athletic‘s Jon Machota wrote on X. “He declined to share who is involved in the trade. Jones: ‘Immediately it will have him on the field and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings.'” The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. With a 3-4-1 record, the Cowboys are a middling NFL team this season thus far. Perhaps a trade could help the Cowboys hit their stride as they head into the back half of the season. Nonetheless, many Cowboys fans expressed their anxieties online about Jones’ comments. In fairness, Jones left fans shell-shocked earlier this fall when he traded star EDGE Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, in exchange for two first-round picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. “We have two kinds of capital or currency in the NFL,” Jerry Jones said at the time. “One of them is draft picks. The other is the financial because every team is limited to the same amount of resources to spend, and having said that, Micah enabled us to have four, possibly as many as six players, for the future. That’s a good trade when you need numbers. I’ll take the numbers every time.” As of this report, it’s not only unclear who the Cowboys traded for, but what they gave up in the deal. The team needs defensive assets. The Cowboys are allowing 404.6 yards per game, the second-most in the NFL, only better than the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Arizona Cardinals are entering Monday’s contest on a five-game losing streak, Dallas shouldn’t overlook the matchup. The Cardinals have lost their last five games by a combined 13 points. Moreover, the Cardinals held fourth-quarter leads in all five games. If Dallas isn’t prepared on Monday, Arizona will be ready to pounce on the opportunity. The Cowboys and Cardinals will square off at 7:15 p.m. CT on Monday. The game will air live on ABC and ESPN. Dallas fans will keep their ears peeled for any mention of a new name on their team’s roster.
DeMeco Ryans sounds displeased with officiating after C.J. Stroud concussion
Quarterback C.J. Stroud suffered a concussion in the second quarter of the Houston Texans' 18-15 home loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday when he took a crunching hit as he attempted to slide following a scramble. Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine was initially penalized for unnecessary roughness, but referees eventually picked the flag up after a replay showed that Abrams-Draine hadn't hit Stroud in the head. While speaking with reporters on Monday, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans addressed his thoughts on that play. C.J. Stroud concussion showed when quarterbacks are, aren't protected "It’s a tough play," Ryans said, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. "Quarterback is sliding. I thought quarterbacks are protected when they slide. But what I’m learning is, as long as you don’t hit them in the head or neck area, if they slide and you hit them in the chest, then that is just fine. That is what I learned." As ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime shared, Ryans said shortly after the Texans fell to 3-5 on Sunday that he felt the hit on Stroud was unnecessary roughness because Abrams-Draine "hit the quarterback when he was sliding and giving himself up." Stroud was still in the NFL's concussion protocol as of Monday afternoon, and it's unclear if he'll be available for Houston's home game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) on Nov. 9. "I spoke to him last night," Ryans said about Stroud. "He’s feeling a little bit better. We’ll see how the week goes and how he progresses throughout the week." What Texans would expect if Davis Mills has to start vs. Jaguars Backup quarterback Davis Mills replaced Stroud against the Broncos and completed 17-of-30 pass attempts for 137 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Mills began Monday atop the Houston depth chart with Stroud not cleared to practice. "I expect him to go out and do his best," Ryans said about Mills possibly getting the start for the Jacksonville game. "Just play the offense the proper way and make great decisions with the football." Shortly after Ryans spoke with media members, ESPN BET had the Texans as 1.5-point favorites over the Jaguars. Ryans may not reveal Stroud's status for the Jacksonville game before Friday at the earliest.
