Seth Rollins pulled off the shocker at the very beginning of Wrestlemania 35. He was able to slay the beast incarnate in the very first matchup of the ‘show of shows’ and become the new Universal Champion. Thanks to him, we will no more have to go through the headache title run of Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw.
Paul Heyman announced that the Universal Championship match will kick things off at Wrestlemania. Brock Lesnar made his way down to the ring with pyros where Seth Rollins followed him with a special video package. But he could enter the ring as the beast targeted him even before the match started. A right knee followed by an emphatic F-5 downed Rollins for good.
Brock Lesnar then sent Seth Rollins through the announce table as he looked visibly hurt. The match finally began at Wrestlemania as Lesnar continued to punish Rollins with some German Suplexes. The Architect was back by sending his opponent into the referee and hit him with a low blow! A Superkick followed with a Curb Stomp. Two more Stomps followed after that to earn the biggest win of Rollins’ career. He celebrated with the title won to end the segment at Wrestlemania.

WWE took a predicted route while declaring the Universal Championship match. The current champion Brock Lesnar needed someone from the Raw roster to defend his title against. Who better in this capacity than The Man himself? WWE let him win the Royal Rumble match in 2019 to make the match official.
The Setup for the match was an automatic choice where the fans have wanted to see Seth Rollins challenging Brock Lesnar for the title. WWE took the least time to announce the match following Royal Rumble to announce the Universal Championship. However, The Architect was not the favorite to win the title from Brock Lesnar.
Apparently, Vince McMahon wanted Brock Lesnar to keep the championship intact on The Current Champion. Per him, no one is more worthy to enter Saudi Arabia as the champion other than the beast. So he did not look forward towards making any title switch in this capacity, as per the rumors. However, it the Kingslayer who was able to earn the name of the Beast Slayer by doing the unthinkable of pinning Brock Lesnar.
