Last night at the Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins won the match of the same name, to earn the opportunity to challenge the champion of his choosing at WrestleMania 35. The question now becomes: which title will he go after?
That question was answered on Raw tonight, as the Kingslayer made his intentions known: he wants to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship on the grandest stage of them all.
However, The Beast was not too thrilled about this announcement, and let Rollins know what he thinks about The Kingslayer’s choice:
From WWE.com:
Seth Rollins didn’t say outright that he was challenging Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, but the winner of the Men’s Royal Rumble Match didn’t have to in order to make his point. The Kingslayer charged The Beast in the closing moments of Raw, cutting Paul Heyman short right as he was attempting to convince Rollins that he was better off challenging Daniel Bryan instead. Clearly, the promise of a grappling classic with the WWE Champion didn’t interest Rollins, as he made a beeline for Lesnar and was immediately met with five consecutive F-5’s, the last one atop the Universal Title. Ever defiant, Rollins sat up and screamed “Is that all you got?!,” to which The Beast replied with a sixth F-5 as Raw went off the air. The words weren’t spoken, but the decision was clear. Now come the consequences.
Editor’s Opinion:
While many of us knew that this was coming, we shouldn’t be surprised. Rollins has the opportunity to get redemption for his boy Roman Reigns, as well as continue to carry the torch that was left behind by The Big Dog.
