#4 Seth Rollins’ beatdown at the hands of Brock Lesnar
Almost the entire WWE Universe knew who would win the Royal Rumble match and who they’d go on to challenge for WrestleMania 35.
Even though that was the case, Rollins’ win at the Royal Rumble received one of the biggest pops of the night, and it was certain that he would challenge Brock Lesnar sooner than later.
When Rollins came out on Raw the next night, Triple H asked him to make his decision the same night and inform the WWE Universe who he would challenge for the title at WrestleMania 35.
While we waited till the end of the night for Rollins to walk out and announce his decision, no one expected The Beast and his Advocate to show up first, and then for Lesnar to hand Rollins an unforgiving beating.
Rollins was put through multiple F5s that left him almost lifeless on the ring mat. While the match between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship is set in stone, no one expected it to be set in such a manner.
