Seth Rollins has got the wrestling world buzzing after he aligned with Paul Heyman in one of the most shocking endings in WrestleMania history. With his win in the main event, Rollins also set a major new record, as he became the only performer to pin Roman Reigns twice at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Heading into 'Mania, most of the chatter was surrounding Paul Heyman choosing to leave Reigns' side to be in CM Punk's corner. Seth Rollins was lurking on the sidelines, with his intentions unclear. However, WWE delivered a twist that not many saw coming during their Triple Threat match. Heyman aligned with Rollins and handed him a chair to take out his opponents.

The Visionary pinned Roman Reigns to secure the win and set a new record in the process. Seth Rollins has now become the only man in WWE to have pinned The Tribal Chief twice at 'Mania. He had earlier pinned Reigns at WrestleMania 31, where he cashed in his MITB briefcase during the latter's match against Brock Lesnar.

Going by how things went down tonight, it's safe to assume matters might be far from done between Rollins and Reigns. This could possibly just be the beginning of a new chapter in the years-spanning storyline between the former Shield stablemates.
