WWE TITLE MATCH: SETH ROLLINS def. DEAN AMBROSE....MAYBE NOT

When the dust settled, The Lunatic Fringe retained his title.

The match was pretty darn good, but the post-match fireworks are what the world is talking about today. Stephanie may have declared Seth the new champion, but during the aftermath on the WWE Network, it was made clear that both mens’ shoulders were down, resulting in a draw.

This bout was a great prelude to what we have in store for us this Sunday. The triple-threat title match is exactly what fans wanted when The Shield first split-up.

Now with the controversy surrounding Roman Reigns being allowed to compete, the fallout from last night's RAW, and Dean’s clean victory over Seth Rollins on SmackDown Live!, the Battleground main event is shaping up to be a historic event.
