Seth Rollins has beaten Brock Lesnar twice on the two biggest shows of the year, WrestleMania and Summerslam. It is evident how important Rollins is to the WWE. Moving forward, he will likely remain the centerpiece on the flagship show, Raw.

In the build-up to this SummerSlam match against The Beast, Rollins was positioned as the underdog; Lesnar beat the hell out of Rollins on multiple occasions and the Architect came into this match injured. This time out, he didn't need a low blow to gain the upper hand; instead, Rollins beat Lesnar as clean as it can get.

This victory makes Rollins look very strong. Currently, there aren't many on the roster who can realistically challenge him for the Universal Championship. Personally, I would love to see Kevin Owens take on the Architect, but Vince McMahon wouldn't want two faces pitted against each other, so only time will tell what's next for the new Universal Champion.
