Seth Rollins kicked off the RAW after WrestleMania in style. After the crowd chanted “You deserve it!” at the star, he corrected them and said that “We deserve it!” The beloved Shield member thanked the crowd and told them that he felt like he got ran over a truck after taking so much damage from Lesnar. However, he got back up and won the WWE Universal Championship.

He justified his low blow in the match by saying that, “I didn’t do anything to Brock that he wouldn’t do to me.” He then said both Lesnar and Heyman flew to Las Vegas and that they can “stay in Las Vegas. Brock Lesnar is no longer the reigning, defending, Universal Heavyweight Champion, I am!” Rollins then vowed to become a fighting champion. “I’m gonna be a champion that everyone can be proud of!

Shockingly, he was interrupted by Big E, who introduced Kofi Kingston as the WWE Champion. Kofi took in the crowd’s cheer and then addressed why he was in the ring. “I see you are real confused. Rest assured, it’s your boys, The New Day. This ain’t the superstar shake-up either, that’s next week.”
Instead, The New Day couldn’t wait to celebrate Kingston’s accomplishment. “After my match, I was in the locker room with my two sons and was watching the main event that was winner takes all. I thought that was a great idea.” He then challenged Rollins to a winner take all bout tonight, and it was accepted.
