Seth Rollins’ first pinfall win over Brock Lesnar

After Roman Reigns finally conquered Brock Lesnar with a victory over his long-term rival at SummerSlam 2018, Seth Rollins became the next former Shield member to set his sights on “The Beast” – and his Universal Championship – in 2019.

“The Kingslayer” won the Royal Rumble to set up a title match against Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, where he hit three consecutive Stomps on WWE’s highest-paid Superstar to pick up one of the biggest pinfall victories of his career.

Four months later, the newly nicknamed “Beastslayer” defeated Lesnar once again at SummerSlam to become the Universal Champion for the second time.

Seth Rollins’ first pinfall win over Kofi Kingston

In April 2013, The Shield were beginning to establish themselves as the next dominant faction in WWE after defeating two super-teams – John Cena, Ryback & Sheamus and Big Show, Randy Orton & Sheamus – at back-to-back PPVs.

Shortly after WrestleMania 29, where they defeated the latter team, the trio picked up a win over Kofi Kingston & Tons of Funk on an episode of Main Event.

The victory came after Roman Reigns took out Brodus Clay with a spear, allowing Seth Rollins to pin Kingston following a knee to the face from the top rope.
