This week's episode saw the fallout from the Elimination Chamber event, and Seth Rollins got the upper hand on his nemesis during the closing moments of the show. It was an attack that no one saw coming as Seth Rollins asked Murphy and AOP to stay away as he delivered two stomps to Kevin Owens.

The WWE Universe has seen Seth Rollins fall to Kevin Owens' stunner in the past, but this week the situation changed when KO was on the receiving end. It is a tale between two of the best Superstars in the company right now, and with WrestleMania fast approaching, one can expect nothing but sheer brilliance by these two individuals.

Kevin and Seth have a long and storied history, and with it coming into play again, the fans have a treat by their side. We know that there is no line that they can't cross and no act that they can't perform between the ropes to entice the fans and make this storyline more engaging.

Seth Rollins as the Monday Night Messiah and Kevin Owens as his opponent is a good idea, but why did he ask his faction to stay away as he attacked KO. I list down my thoughts and welcome yours in the comments section.

So without further ado, let's get down to it:


#5 Set An Example

When you lead a group, you need to set an example for the others to follow, and Seth Rollins decided to do the same this week by taking out Kevin Owens with two devastating curb stomps. The former Universal Champion has triggered as well as carried out various storylines in the past, and he did the same this time too.

The Monday Night Messiah wanted to show his disciples that you need to fight your own battles, and this one required his attention more than anyone else. Seth didn't hesitate from putting out the former Universal Champion, because as a leader, you need to set an example that becomes the path for your team to follow.

#4 This is personal

The former Shield Member wanted to state that this story is personal as it gets, and so there was no scope of anyone else getting involved in it. It is a given that these two will lock horns at The Grandest Stage of them All. With them being a part of the match at The Shows of Shows, one can expect phenomenal athletic performance between the ropes.

There is nothing more wonderful than to see two wrestlers perform to the best of their ability, and when the story gets personal, it makes a better impact. Edge and Randy Orton have a personal story going on, while AJ Styles made his storyline with Taker personal too when he mentioned Michelle in his promo.

The mention of her frustration has made that story personal, and Seth wants to take his rivalry with the Prizefighter down a similar path. These two can put on a clinic between the ropes, and with few weeks to go until WrestleMania expect to see them clash a handful of times before we get to the Show of Shows.

#3 Make It A One on One Attack

The attack that Seth laid out on Kevin Owens was an indication that he doesn't need a helping hand to carry out his actions. Seth was the brain behind The Shield, and with him planning to attack his nemesis, one can rest assured that The Beastslayer will be able to create something valuable and memorable for all.

He knows how to steer a storyline, and with this in mind it would be a great idea to see him take out the competition on his own. While we would love to see more people involved in the match, it would be better if these two attack each other because that would allow the others to focus on other possible feuds.

AOP, Viking Raiders, and The Street Profits are wonderful teams, and if they get their moment to shine at The Grandest Stage of them All, then it would be a great idea to push them toward their own match at WrestleMania.

#2 A Sign That He Needs No One

Stay away, Buddy
Stay away, Buddy

When Buddy Murphy came to the main roster, he had great matches with Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, and that got 'The Best Kept Secret' out. His transition to RAW didn't serve him well as he was constantly losing to Aleister Black until he concurred with the former NXT Champion. Murphy moved to the main event scene, and within a week was one half of the new RAW Tag Team Champions. His past is in the rear view mirror as he now commands the group along with Seth Rollins.

On the other hand, AOP returned after a long time and were cutting promos backstage before they attacked Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. They needed someone to guide them to a better position, and Seth Rollins helped them become a force to be reckoned with on Monday Nights.

With the value that they have by their side, it would be only fitting if they all go their separate ways, and this may be the start of it. With three weeks to go for WrestleMania, the company would try to build this story, and it would be a great idea if the faction falls apart at The Shows of Shows.

#1 A Long Term Storyline

These two can go on without missing a beat
These two can go on without missing a beat

Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens are the pros in the business, and they know the perfect way to keep the fans enticed. This storyline can end at WrestleMania, but then again, these two Superstars can keep it going beyond The Shows of Shows.

They can keep the feud alive and fresh as ever even beyond Mania, and if the faction headed by Seth Rollins does stay, then Kevin can create his team to take down his nemesis and his henchman. The camaraderie between babyfaces and heels will set the tone for a great storyline, and the fans can be involved in it.

We have seen these two superstars play as a babyface and heel to perfection, and this may very well be the perfect way to keep them running the show until something or someone enters the fray. With a draft to take place after WrestleMania, we may expect some new faces on the red brand, and that would be a great way to keep the fans involved.
