#4 Seth Rollins managed to get under the skin of the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins could consider getting under the skin of WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns as an achievement unlocked during this past week.

In the final segment before the Royal Rumble on SmackDown, Rollins talked about the past and The Shield to The Tribal Chief. The Messiah claimed when he smashed Reigns in the back with a steel chair in 2014, he set him up to become a big star.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

This riled up the Universal Champion who proceeded to tell Seth Rollins that he would never forgive him for what he did to The Shield that night. Fast forward to the Rumble, Seth Rollins made his entrance through the crowd in St. Louis to the The Shield's music and attire.

Reigns was clearly fuming throughout the contest as Rollins would not fall victim to his offense and continued to mock The Head of the Table.

Reigns eventually locked in his Guillotine submission and decided to not let go of the hold, thus getting himself disqualified.

Rollins can certainly say he got into the head of the Universal Champion like nobody else has done before.


#3 Bobby Lashley captured his second WWE Championship

The era of the All Mighty is once again upon us. Bobby Lashley managed to overcome Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship for a second time at the Royal Rumble.

He got a timely assist from Roman Reigns, who smashed Brock Lesnar with the WWE Championship after the referee was knocked down. Who handed Reigns the title to use as a weapon? None other than Paul Heyman.

Despite this sub-plot, The All Mighty went toe-to-toe with Lesnar throughout the match. He was able to withstand the offense dished out by The Beast Incarnate and even delivered a picture perfect German Suplex on Lesnar.

Lashley took full advantage of the whole Roman Reigns distraction and is now back at the top of the mountain.
