Tonight’s WWE Monday Night Raw season premiere from Brooklyn, All Mighty Bobby Lashley come to the ring to defend his WWE United States Title against Seth Rollins. But he cut a pre-match promo and mentioned how he is a fighting champion who has defeated top stars, including Lesnar. He then addressed Rollins and told him to come to the ring to get the fair title shot he claims he hasn’t received.
Then, music interrupted and The Beast Brock Lesnar came out with huge pop. Lesnar stared Lashley down from the corner, and gave a shout-out to Brooklyn. He then said good evening to Brooklyn, and to Lashley, as he stepped closer to Lashley. Lesnar immediately scooped Lashley for a F5 in the middle of the ring followed by a German suplex. Fans wanted more, so Lesnar delivered a second F5. Lesnar then applied the Kimura Lock on Lashley, and finally let go of the hold. Lesnar ended the segment by marching up the ramp, stopping to look back and smile as Lashley tried to recover.

Following the attack, Seth Rollins came out and insisted Lashley grant him the title shot while Lashley was walking away with officials and medics, but Rollins called him a disgrace to the title and his country. Lashley then returned to the ring for the match. Lashley fought some but Rollins finished him off with two Stomps, in just a few minutes and become the new US Champion.

This is Seth Rollins’ second reign with the United States Title. Lashley won the title from Austin Theory at Money In the Bank back on July 2, and held the strap for 100 recognized days in his third reign.
Later, in the backstage interview with Byron Saxton, Bobby Lashley told that he is not finished with Seth Rollins, but he has his eye on Brock Lesnar for now. Lashley challenged Lesnar to show up on next week’s Raw so he can prove that The Beast is nothing but “a little bitch.”
