One of the most emotional WWE RAW episodes in recent years took place in October 2018 when Roman Reigns relinquished the Universal Championship after announcing that his leukemia had returned.

Later in the night, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins won the RAW Tag Team titles in what was originally a feel-good moment at the end of an emotional show, but Ambrose then shocked the WWE Universe by attacking his tag team partner.

Speaking to Yahoo Sports in April 2019, Seth Rollins admitted that the heel turn “didn’t feel good”, especially as it occurred on the same night as Reigns’ announcement, and he would rather have been Ambrose’s tag team partner instead of his opponent.

“The way that affected Ambrose, that wasn’t really his best look. No one wanted to see us fight each other, we had been through that, it didn’t feel good. I was upset, he was clearly upset and people didn’t want to see it, they wanted to see us be brothers and care about each other.”

Despite his reluctance to go ahead with the storyline, Seth Rollins looked on the positive side and acknowledged that the moment with Ambrose gave him all the momentum that he needed for the next six months ahead of WrestleMania 35.
