WWE Raw kicked off last night on a major note with the Universal Champion Seth Rollins. He slew the beast at Wrestlemania and hence received an incredible ovation from the crowd. ‘Burn it down’ chant was never any louder like it was at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. But soon Kofi Kingston arrived on the scene to interrupt him and steal the spotlight.
Becky Lynch received a new opponent on Raw
He could not wait to celebrate his WWE Championship win on tomorrow night’s Smackdown. Hence, he appeared on WWE Raw to share the moment on WWE Raw and issue a challenge to Seth Rollins. Just like the women’s title at Wrestlemania 35, he wanted a Winner Take All championship match between the two. Rollins accepted the match setting up the main event of the night.
The main event match indeed happened that has the biggest capacity. However, it never produced an outcome as The Bar interrupted the match. They disqualified the contest and set up a rather tag team contest on WWE Raw. Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins no whatsoever problem to put down the heel team and pick up a solid win. The future of the Rollins’ Universal Championship is still undecided for now.
It was indeed good to see Seth Rollins putting away Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35. A perfect booking followed for them where the beast incarnate did not even wait much to drop the title. He appeared first on the match card of the show and walked out without the belt. WWE Universe became immensely happy with this scene. For the first time in a long time, they expected to see the Universal Championship regularly on TV. WWE.com also hyped up Rollins’ win,
“It nearly didn’t happen. Before the match had officially begun, Lesnar savagely assaulted Rollins to the point where The Architect could barely stand. Yet stand he did, and he made the most of his opportunity to take Lesnar down and keep him down for the three-count. In a WWE.com exclusive shortly after the bout, the new Universal Champion promised to be a fighting champion. Will tonight in Brooklyn provide Rollins his first opportunity to prove it?”
WWE Universe sees Seth Rollins as a fighting champion and hence there was a big question heading onto WWE Raw. Who will challenge The Architect for the Universal title, first? It was not likely that Brock Lesnar will come back after Wrestlemania to reclaim his title on WWE Raw. Hence the expectations were that we will see someone from the active roster to get the title opportunity against Seth Rollins. It turned out to be another champion in a fun match on WWE Raw that never reached culmination.
