Survival Instincts.
The 1171st edition of WWE Monday Night RAW came to you, live, from the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO. Last week, nobody had a better week than Roman Reigns as “The Big Dog” not only overcame Bray Wyatt inside Hell in a Cell at WWE Hell in a Cell, but the next night on RAW, Roman defeated Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens, & Alberto Del Rio in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become the new #1 Contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as, with Bray Wyatt in his past, Reigns can refocus on winning his first World Title. After his one-on-one match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania was interrupted by Seth Rollins, who ultimately cashed in his Money-in-the-Bank contract to steal the championship right from under Roman and after Bray Wyatt cost “The Big Dog” the Money-in-the-Bank Ladder Match back in June, Roman is finally back in the title picture and, at some time in the near future, Reigns will face his former Shield brethren and familiar rival Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Will Roman Reigns be the man to finally end the title reign of Seth Rollins or will the self-proclaimed “man” finally put Roman Reigns behind him? When will we see this championship showdown take place?
