Mr. Monday Night RAW may have been on the ropes, he may have been losing his momentum and crowd support but my God did he win it back in that SummerSlam main event which saw him pin Brock Lesnar CLEAN despite being 'injured'.

This changes the whole landscape of RAW and opens up the title picture to guys like Cesaro, Andrade, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Styles etc. Rather than the select few that can believably go against a legitimate beast like Lesnar.

It also sets out a stool for Rollins as the top guy in the WWE because of how he beat Brock Lesnar. There were no low blows this time, no sneak attacks, no tricks or help from others. Just one guy cementing himself at the top of the pyramid.

It also suggests that Lesnar might be done with WWE again, or at the very least stepping away from the Universal Title picture to have feuds with other people that don't have a choke-hold over that brand's main belt!
