This was the first World Heavyweight Championship defend at WrestleMania and WrestleMania XL was the venue where Seth Rollins defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. Seth Rollins won the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions and never dropped it since.
A lot of fans were pretty unhappy with the booking this match received. The title was never presented as a top price and the Universal title had been the centre of attraction. But we seriously hope things change soon and the World Heavyweight Championship is presented as a true World Champion and equal to the Universal title.
WWE WrestleMania XL – World Heavyweight Championship – Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre, Huge Surprise at The End
There had been multiple predictions about this match. Most of the fans expected to see CM Punk getting involved in this match. There are also predictions of Damian Priest cashing in Money in the Bank contract during this match. So what actually happened in this much anticipated World Heavyweight Championship match? Let us find out.
This was the show opener for night 2 and CM Punk was in the commentary table. There had been expectations that this match could be the show stealer. Drew started the match strongly as he hit a Claymore as soon as the match started. The Scottish professional wrestler had been pretty strong from the very first minute.
It had been an extremely entertaining match from the very first minute as it had been pretty fast. There had been back to back near falls in this match. Both of these wrestlers kept on kicking out their respective finishers again and again, these near falls made this match really special. It had been one of the best matches of the show produced by WWE.
At the end of the match, Drew McIntyre finally was able to pin Seth Rollins after back to back Claymore finishers. It was a clean win. Drew McIntyre won the match and became the new World Heavyweight Champion. We say, it was totally deserved.
After the match, Drew started taunting CM Punk and Punk ended up attacking him. As soon as Drew got attacked, Damian Priest came out and cashed in his contract. It took only one South of Heaven Chokeslam for Priest to pin Drew and win the World Heavyweight Championship. He celebrated with his Judgment Day teammates after winning the title at WrestleMania XL.
