The Targeted.
One night after one of the best and most shocking WrestleMania events of all time, the 1140th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW came to you, live, from the SAP Center at San Jose in San Jose, CA. At WrestleMania 31, with a record-setting 76, 976 fans watching in the Levi’s Stadium, one man was left standing as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but neither “The Beast” Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns were left holding the gold, as in the midst of a bloody, hard-hitting war between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, it was none other than Seth Rollins who made history. With the brutal championship match still in progress, Seth Rollins would sprint to the ring to cash in his Money-in-the-Bank contract, which guaranteed Rollins a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship any time he saw fit, making him the first man to not only cash-in at WrestleMania, but the first man to cash in while a championship match was still in progress! The unprecedented cash-in would turn the match into a Triple Threat Match and after the ultimate opportunity nearly blown up in his face thanks to the resilience of Brock Lesnar, it was Seth Rollins hitting the Curb Stomp on Roman Reigns and pinning the challenger, not the champion, to become the brand new WWE World Heavyweight Champion! Now, on RAW, the new champion will be sure to show up, but while Seth Rollins will no doubt be looking to celebrate the biggest win of his career on “The Grandest Stage of Them All”, one has to wonder how the former champion, Brock Lesnar, will respond to losing the championship without even being pinned to lose it! Not to mention Roman Reigns, who seemed to have weakened the seemingly unstoppable Lesnar and appeared to be moments away from his own championship glory. With Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns no doubt looking for payback, will the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion even be able to leave RAW in one piece?
