The WWE Universe in Corpus Christi got a surprise kick-off on Monday night as the familiar chant of “Burn it down!” blasted through the speakers, heralding the return of none other than Seth “Freakin'” Rollins. The audience, perhaps expecting an appearance by Uncle Howdy given the recently expired countdown clock, instead welcomed back Rollins, who hasn’t been seen since he graciously played the role of Cody Rhodes’ punching bag at WrestleMania.
Rollins wasted no time in reminding everyone that Monday nights still belong to him. With a swagger only he can pull off, Rollins declared his intentions to reclaim the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, which he lost to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania. He also cast a longing eye on the Money In The Bank briefcase dangling high above the ring, signaling his ambitions for the upcoming premium live event.
The Champ Has Something to Say
Just as Rollins was getting into his groove, the current World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest, decided to crash the party. Showing a surprising amount of respect, Priest acknowledged Rollins’ previous dominance but declared that the times have changed. According to Priest, “Raw” is no longer Monday Night Rollins, but rather, it’s time to “All Rise for El Campeon.”
What followed was a classic WWE verbal showdown, with Priest reminding Rollins of their previous encounter where Rollins emerged victorious. However, Priest insisted that things are different now, and he’s a changed man—presumably one who doesn’t lose. In a bold move, Priest threw down the gauntlet and challenged Rollins to a championship match at Money In The Bank.
Mark Your Calendars
Rollins accepted the challenge with his trademark smirk, setting the stage for what promises to be an explosive showdown at Money In The Bank. Will Rollins reclaim his throne, or will Priest prove that the new era of WWE doesn’t include the old guard? One thing is for sure: the road to Money In The Bank just got a whole lot more exciting.
Stay tuned, because in the world of WWE, anything can happen!
