WWE RAW: 5 reasons why Seth Rollins and AoP assaulted Rey Mysterio

Seth Rollins did Rey Mysterio a "favor", or so he claims

#4 The Kevin Owens connection

Last week on RAW at the beginning, Kevin Owens ran into Rey Mysterio backstage and the WWE legend offered Owens some help in his search for AoP. Owens refused, stating that it's his battle to fight.

Mysterio did, however, offer a bit of assistance - his metal rod. The same pipe that Seth Rollins was holding when confronting Mysterio on RAW. It appears that the metal pipe will be a theme in the rivalry and we'll be seeing that changing hands on more than one occasion.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

The connection that Mysterio had with Kevin Owens is likely the reason why Rollins went after the United States Champion first. It's an interesting bit of character work and this also potentially confirms that we'll be seeing a future alliance and pairing between Mysterio and Owens.

If the storylines end up merging, it's going to be a nice way to go about it. Adding Mysterio to the mix makes it all the more exciting.
