A major surprise was waiting for us in the main event of Stomping Grounds where WWE used a real-life relationship to make the match successful. In a twisted turn of events, Baron Corbin announced Lacey Evans for his title match against Seth Rollins. It was a clear-cut indication that the officials wanted Becky Lynch to come to the scene as well who is in the middle of a feud against Evans. In the end, it was The Man who saved ‘her Man’ from losing the title.

Lacey Evans was obviously not counting properly when it came down to Seth Rollins. Rather he allowed Baron Corbin to hit the champion with steel chair shots under No-Disqualification rules. Moments later, she got into a heated conversation and hit a low blow to Rollins forcing Becky Lynch to come out and plant her with a Bexploder Suplex. A distracted Corbin digested The Stomp from Rollins who retained the title. (Second referee John Cone counted the pinfall) The real-life couple Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch stood tall to end the Stomping Grounds show.

WWE has managed to invest the fans into this particular match at Stomping Grounds by keeping the mystery around this match. Previously Baron Corbin noted that the referee robbed him of the title opportunity at Super ShowDown. So, he demanded a special guest referee and the McMahons granted his wish, (via WWE.com)
“Seth Rollins did the impossible at WWE Super ShowDown. At WWE Stomping Grounds, he’ll have to do it again. Rollins will be in a nearly identical situation as at WWE Stomping Grounds, Rollins must defend his championship against the dangerous Lone Wolf while looking over his shoulder for “Mr. Beast in the Bank.” And this time, Corbin has been given the right to select a Special Guest Referee for the matchup.”
But he never revealed the name of the same keeping the anticipation high. It was a smart strategy by the WWE creative team to make the fans wait for the decision and thereby tune into the pay-per-view show that had a lackluster buildup, otherwise. Bringing a major surprise in this capacity was going to be the only reason to make the Stomping Grounds main event a success.
Finally, we received Lacey Evans into the picture which was a clever way to drag Becky Lynch into the storyline. Thus, we received the latest on-screen couple of the company on TV.
