Seth Rollins lied about his fake knee injury for three weeks until he revealed the ruse Saturday at SummerSlam en route to cashing his Money in the Bank briefcase and beating CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Rollins' plan is a modern example of a "worked shoot" injury, a classic wrestling angle designed to blur the lines between reality and storyline. The ruse began at the Saturday Night's Main Event premium live event on July 12, where he faked the knee injury during a match with LA Knight, leading to an unplanned loss.
