#2 Seth Rollins wins a No Disqualification match
As we previously alluded to, this rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins has become so violent that it feels like something is missing ahead of their match at SummerSlam.
That something, perhaps, is a stipulation, as WWE is currently listing the match as a regular one-on-one encounter, which seems bizarre when you take into account the incidents that we have seen involving both men on Raw in recent weeks.
In the words of Paul Heyman, Rollins was “beaten, victimised and conquered” by Lesnar when the Universal Champion threw his rival around the arena – and out of an ambulance – on the July 30 episode of Raw.
The following week, the former UFC fighter inflicted a similar attack on Rollins in the middle of the ring, prompting the No.1 contender to reveal that he has questioned whether he should continue putting his body through so much punishment in his bid to win back the Universal Championship.
WWE has been known to add No Disqualification stipulations to matches on PPV kickoff shows in the past, including at SummerSlam 2013 before Lesnar vs. CM Punk, and it would make sense for Lesnar vs. Rollins to receive the same treatment on Sunday.
If that does indeed happen, then at least “The Beastslayer” will stand a realistic chance of winning with the use of weapons.
