#3 Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins retain titles without getting successfully cashed in on

Rollins delivered some payback on Lesnar after 'the Beast' tried to cash in on a wounded 'Beastslayer.'

Every time Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins have title matches, they won't be complete until 'the Beast' either shows up or does not appear. At SSD, both Kingston and Rollins retained their titles in hard-fought defences against Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin respectively with the threat of the Beast and his Money in the Bank briefcase hanging over them.

But once the bell rang to declare each man victorious, the WWE Universe's next thought is to not be happy unless the segment ends without Brock Lesnar showing up. Unfortunately for Rollins, 'the Beast' trotted down to the ring minutes after 'the Beastslayer' won his match but was also attacked by after it by Corbin.

Luckily for Rollins and most fans, Paul Heyman appeared to trip and drop the briefcase, briefly taking Lesnar's attention away from continuing to destruction on the Universal Champion. 'The Beastslayer' gathered his wits and actually ended up paying Lesnar back for the beating he received on last week's Raw.

After Kingston also successfully defended his title at the show, the WWE Universe was waiting for Lesnar to possibly show up. Having him declare that he is going after Rollins is merely a storyline device, and it might possibly be a misdirect.

Kingston is still a champion and Lesnar could simply change his mind as to whom he wishes to cash in on. SmackDown is moving to Fox in mere months, so WWE might swerve us by having Lesnar not only cash in on Kingston before or at SummerSlam but also do it successfully.
