How does El Grande Americano plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo - Randy Orton and WWE Champion John Cena are not advertised for Raw which means it’s probably time for a video package recapping their career-long feud over the last 25 years In a new report from Fightful Select the comparison to the Dangerous Alliance stable that Heyman led during his time WCW in the early 1990s has not gone unheard with one WWE source even telling Fightful that they watched their review of the show and acknowledged the similarities this reportedly isn't the impression that WWE were aiming for nor is it the direction the group is heading as Fightful claimed that the company is attempting to push the stable as one that other groups will be compared to later on down the line rather than following a template from any previous group The group has also drawn comparisons to Evolution leading fans to speculate as to who could be this groups young star could be akin to what Randy Orton was back in the early 2000s that doesn't seem to be the case with Heyman's group as the WWE source Fightful spoke claimed that while it could always happen in the future no other members are set to be added to the faction at this moment in time Heyman's men have already made enemies out of Reigns, Punk, and even Sami Zayn following the events of the April 28 episode of "Raw," and it's safe to say they'll be making a lot more in the weeks and months to come Plans for potential new additions to the Seth Rollins Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker WWE Raw stable have been revealed Paul Heyman ended up betraying both CM Punk and Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Saturday with former Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker aligning with Rollins and Heyman taking out both CM Punk and Roman Reigns to close the show Since Breakker’s addition to the group fans have been speculating about potential other new members of the group and there has now been an update on plans for a potential new member Per Fightful Select (subscription required), the group isn’t intended to draw comparisons to either Evolution or the Dangerous Alliance with one source near the creative of the situation noting that the stable should become one that other stables get compared to in the future instead of following a previous stable template In regards to other members, Fightful was told by the same source that, at least as of WWE WrestleMania weekend, the plan was for the group to simply consist of Heyman Rollins and Breakker with no additional members for the time being but that was the working plan as of the formation of the group To make sure you stay up to date with all the biggest wrestling and WrestleTalk news, follow us on Threads by clicking this link Š Trident Digital Media Limited.

Read our Privacy and Data Policy Designed and Developed by Arren Marketing Paul Heyman reaffirmed his commitment to making Seth Rollins the new top star in WWE, and he found backup with Bron Breakker helping take out Roman Reigns and CM Punk. John Cena appeared for the first time since capturing his 17th world championship, but he found resistance from longtime rival Randy Orton. Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria unsuccessfully defended the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in a rematch with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. The Man then turned on The Valkyrie. While Jey Uso celebrated his World Heavyweight Championship win with Jimmy Uso and a returning Sami Zayn, Gunther blamed the commentators for his failure and choked out Pat McAfee with a sleeper hold. Rusev made his return to WWE by laying out Alpha Academy, trapping Otis in the Accolade. This was a big night of action elevated even more by wild story beats that will define WWE for months to come. Seth Rollins is one of WWE's top guys but reached his ceiling as a scrappy babyface in 2024. He needs fresh direction much like Roman Reigns did before his Tribal Chief run. The Visionary will get that with Heyman speaking on his behalf at times and working to get him favorable opportunities on Raw in the coming year. More importantly, Bron Breakker was a talented man without direction after losing the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41. Heyman has stepped in to become his advocate and take him to the next level. He is the closest The Advocate has had to replacement for Brock Lesnar, a genetic freak with unreal athleticism. While Breakker can talk, he can let one of the all-time greats put him over in a big way and focus first and foremost on in-ring dominance. He and Heyman have interacted in the past but never like this. It was an inevitable outcome with massive upside for all involved. John Cena needed to open the show after the end of WrestleMania 41 on Sunday, but it would have worked much better to use this moment to elevate a young talent over Randy Orton. The Viper and The Last Real Champion have plenty of history. Their battles have been talked about as legend for the past decade. Despite their shared history, though, they have never clicked as in-ring opponents. They need flashy rivals to thrive, and neither is flashy on his own. This will be a battle of nostalgia, possibly elevated for a crowd excited about the legacy of the two men. But this kind of booking is hardly an exciting prospect for what Cena's final world title reign can be. This was a chance to put someone like LA Knight, Damian Priest, Penta, Rey Fenix or a returning Sami Zayn up against Cena. Elevate a star with many years left to give to the business who can give Cena a good fight and put him over as a dominant world champion. If the Orton match needs to happen, WWE must spend more time building it up and the potential of The Viper dethroning Cena to get closer to eclipsing his world title record. After a definitive loss to Jey Uso, Gunther did not need to interact with him again so soon. To keep The Ring General strong, though, he needed to make a statement. He did that be threatening commentator Michael Cole and choking out Pat McAfee. This was the way to sell that he is not done playing the monster heel. Gunther vs. McAfee is a smart match to book, given the former NFL punter's history in the squared circle. He will make The Ring General look great. Meanwhile, Uso can run with the gold, first standing tall as champion this week, next finding his first challenger. A returning Sami Zayn could be a fun obstacle, giving him a good match and playing into both men's quest for gold and credibility. Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker will certainly pose a dangerous challenge as well when the time is right. There is also unfinished business with Drew McIntyre that could play out assuming a future WWE draft moves The Scottish Warrior back to Raw. The best option for both Uso and Gunther is to stay away from each other for a while. If they eventually come back together, they should collide in an intense stipulation match to finalize the rivalry. she helped Lyra Valkyria take down Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez to capture the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships they lost the tag team gold back to the former champions It was an odd booking web that also included Bayley missing the 'Mania match she was promised What was the point beyond pure shock value If Lynch was going to return to help Valkyria they should have stayed a tag team for at least a couple months This booking devalues the already mostly forgotten women's tag team titles by playing with an unnecessary hot potato The Man's return feels eerily similar to her last heel return when she defeated Bianca Belair in seconds to capture the Raw Women's Championship she looks poised to take down Valkyria and capture the Women's Intercontinental Championship soon that is not the immediate goal because it would devalue the new championship Valkyria has tried to establish as the workhorse title for underused talent and he was instantly set up as a destructive force by taking out Otis on Monday night It is unlikely this is setting up a rivalry with Alpha Academy but the stage has not been set for a strong rivalry otherwise a feud with Otis and Akira Tozawa could allow Rusev to begin picking up wins and building early momentum It is important to make The Bulgarian Brute look like a monster and stay dominant His character has always been built on an air of dominance including his recent run in All Elite Wrestling as Miro It can be difficult to protect a talent consistently but giving Rusev only sparing losses in the right stories will elevate him and his rivals down the line This website is using a security service to protect itself from

Monday It was announced during SmackDown that Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker will be at Raw this Monday in Omaha This comes following their main event angle on last week’s show that saw Breakker and Rollins take out Sami Zayn After the formation of the new group on the Raw following WrestleMania Rollins was in the ring talking when Zayn interrupted saying he likes Rollins but doesn’t like what has taken place Rollins ultimately gave Zayn an option: move aside and go to SmackDown where he’ll get the next WWE title match following John Cena vs Zayn contemplated the offer during the duration of the show but ultimately chose to remain on Raw as he said he will be a future world champion He and Breakker proceeded to have a match that ended after Breakker speared Zayn Rollins then hit Zayn with the stomp as the three men posed to end the show Bryan Rose is an editor from California that has been covering professional wrestling for well over a decade WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has the uncanny ability to transform wrestlers into megastars and future Hall of Famers A who's who of wrestling has sat under his learning tree and he now appears to have spotted the next big thing in wrestling: Bron Breakker who many have claimed will become a future Hall of Famer "The Wiseman," despite being in the business for over three decades and spoke about how great Breakker could be in the business "He's going to main event a dozen WrestleManias because he has youth Heyman is honored to work with talents such as Breakker and the enthusiasm and passion that stars like Breakker have are contagious The WWE Hall of Famer added that collaborating with young stars makes him appreciate what he's doing even more Paul Heyman betrayed CM Punk and Roman Reigns to align with Seth Rollins and help him defeat both men in the main event Bron Breakker joined forces with Rollins and Heyman in a beatdown on both Punk and Reigns to officially start a new alliance This new faction should be at the center of many main event storylines over the next year but they will need to add numbers to their ranks as the group will surely collect many rivals along the way Here are eight more WWE stars to potentially join Paul Heyman Another major moment that took place on the two-night WrestleMania 41 event saw Becky Lynch make her return for the first time since May 2024 to team with Lyra Valkyria to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez regained their titles after defeating Lynch and Valkyria on the Raw After Mania Becky turned heel by attacking and laying out Lyra With Becky turning heel for the first time since 2022 WWE will need to find new ways to get her the heat necessary to play this role effectively A great way to get Lynch some heat would be by aligning her with her husband Seth Rollins in this new faction with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker on the Raw brand An explosive end to the Raw After Mania sees Breakker align with Heyman and Seth Rollins where he turned on both Roman Reigns and CM Punk to align himself with Seth Rollins Paul Heyman teased like there may be a new Paul Heyman Guy coming soon “soon” was this week’s episode of

taking Roman Reigns’ Wiseman and CM Punk’s best friend from him with Heyman declaring him the new biggest star in the industry He managed to take Punk out before Reigns showed up and appeared to get

will defend his title against Penta Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio in a fatal-four way match It's been a complete race to capture one of the most historic titles in WWE. The new star Penta made it his mission to capture his first WWE title while Balor has been obsessed with getting gold back in his hands But it'll be tough to take it away from Breakker who possesses power and speed like no other and we could see some major changes happening to careers by the end of it Here's what to know for the fatal-four way match for the Intercontinental Championship: The match will be for the Intercontinental Championship Breakker is in his second reign of being champion and Balor will try to be a three-time champion Penta and Mysterio are seeking their first singles

match quickly shifted from a Fatal 4-Way to what felt like Balor and Mysterio vs. Breakker vs. Penta, as the Judgment Day members teamed up early. the latter went for a 619 but got caught with a counter and Carlito started interfering from ringside to aid Balor and Mysterio—until Breakker charged in and speared him straight through the announce table Just when it looked like Balor had the win locked up Mysterio came flying in with a surprise Frog Splash to steal the pin—and the Intercontinental Championship Breakker and the IC title became the target of several high-profile Superstars on Raw Balor and Penta all had singles matches against Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship and Breakker emerged each time with his title reign still intact it looked as though the Irishman was closing in on becoming intercontinental champion for the third time in his career interference from The Judgment Day backfired as Dominik accidentally caused his teammate to get crotched on the ropes allowing Breakker to take advantage and pick up the victory The Judgment Day attacked Breakker after the match in retaliation leading to a staredown between Bron and Penta to close the show

injury concerns after his latest Raw appearance With Breakker set to defend his gold in a fourway match at WrestleMania 41 and going viral in GIFs pretty much every Monday it’s fair to say that the Intercontinental Champion has tons of momentum heading into the April 19-20 event There was some concern that this momentum had been stopped by a roadblock in the form of an injury following a moment on WWE Raw With Breakker interfering in Penta vs Finn Balor on the April 14 show before having his spear countered by Penta Carlito and Mysterio to end the segment standing tall Many fans have pointed out that Breakker was holding his knee after catching Penta Dave Meltzer provided a positive update on the situation on Wrestling Observer Radio noting that he was told that Breakker is okay after the

as Paul Heyman betrayed his best friend to help Seth Rollins win the Triple Threat match Capping off tonight's Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania Heyman and Rollins had an in-ring promo to talk about the situation—mostly to just gloat and soak in the boos from the audience looking to get a measure of revenge on both of them falling short of that goal considerably as The Visionary put him down with a stomp Heyman declared Rollins to be the reigning 1 top star in the professional wrestling business right now which then triggered Roman Reigns to come out to try to get his payback The Tribal Chief temporarily had the upper hand spearing Rollins and knocking his former Wise Man down with a Superman Punch he was taken out with a spear out of nowhere from a hooded man The Unpredictable Badass has one of the best spears in the game (if not the best right now) and he followed his tackle on Reigns with another spear to Punk who had begun to stir and was looking for more of a fight Seth Rollins isn't the ONLY one to align with Paul Heyman... 😲😲😲 pic.twitter.com/qBEm8egaQN This is when Breakker was embraced by Rollins and Heyman forming a new faction going forward to end the show nothing was revealed as far as a name for this group There's your hook for next week's episode or at least this coming Friday Night SmackDown The landscape has changed on Monday Night Raw! pic.twitter.com/eJZ3Iv5p4K These heel turns are among the many things freshening up the roster at the moment following Becky Lynch's return to action and heel turn on Lyra Valkyria seeing John Cena as the villainous top world champion in the company which should make for an interesting new season now that the post-WrestleMania reset is in effect What do you think about Bron Breakker joining Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman Do you have any ideas of names they could call this faction and other thoughts in the comments below to keep the discussion going Apr 8, 2025Kilian Bron is one of the most recognizable freeride mountain bike athletes but what drives this enigmatic French athlete to create some of the world's most breathtaking mountain bike videos and what toll does it take to be one of the greats This recent documentary sheds light on the mind and methods behind Kilian as he talks about his history and future in the sport and the struggles that come with being such a prolific athlete Immersion looks candidly at one of our generation's greatest mountain bikers and the freedom that comes with it,” Says Killian “but if there’s one constant The thing that reminds me every day how lucky I am to live at full speed and share what truly matters.” We are treated to an emotional and moving look into the life of Kilian as he shares all that goes on behind the scenes People see him as someone who is always outside riding his bike capturing content and creating imagery for us all to enjoy; many pro athletes are seen in a light that makes the lifestyle seem purely enjoyable It’s fake and far from reality,” admits Bron “this film is more than just a ride Seth Rollins seemed to cement his heel turn Monday night allowing him to be brutalized by Bron Breakker in "WWE Raw's" main event after Zayn refused to stand down from Rollins' new faction Rollins opened "Raw" with the newly aligned Paul Heyman and Breakker After Zayn questioned how Rollins working with Heyman was any different than when CM Punk or Roman Reigns did it saying he could have it arranged for Zayn to go to "SmackDown." During a backstage segment Heyman tried to appeal to Zayn while Breakker was listening in the doorway telling Zayn he would also be given a guaranteed WWE Championship match but "it will not be from any favors from anyone I did it the right way." Zayn said that while he respects and loves Rollins as a friend Breakker's music hit and they had an impromptu match in the main event but after Breakker leveled him with a pair of Spears Rollins attempted to get Zayn to "take the deal." Zayn again told Rollins to go to hell; after Breakker hit a third spear Breakker ran around the ring to deliver a fourth but Rollins hit his former friend with a Curb Stomp as "Raw" went off the air Sami Zayn stood his ground against Seth Rollins and his crew on Raw—but it was the Kansas City crowd’s shocking betrayal that stole the show Wrestling fans in Kansas City, MO, were under scrutiny after this week’s episode of Raw calling him a hypocrite after Rollins aligned with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker he could either go to SmackDown or face the consequences Rollins’ offer to switch shows also came with a tempting bonus: a world title match for Zayn against the winner of John Cena vs Zayn chose to stay on Raw and oppose Rollins leading to a brutal match against Breakker Zayn was repeatedly speared until the referee stopped the contest “One More Time,” encouraging Breakker to deliver another spear He put the EXCLAMATION POINT on it!#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/NkDJQa67Wg The crowd’s mood shifted dramatically during the match Fans went from cheering for Zayn to rooting for his demise as they shared their concerns about the Missouri faithful online “So did Rollins and Breakker go babyface? Or have the fans turned heel?” asked noted author and wrestling historian Brian R. Solomon wishy-washy and confusing television product.” Others were less charitable in their observations, with one fan blasting chanting one more time with the best face crippled in the ring is expected from that DB KC loserville.” “Sami Zayn is as beloved as a babyface can get,” remarked another fan “And this Kansas City crowd chant ‘One More Time’ for Breakker to destroy him and then sing Rollins’ song Is it even possible to be a good guy in pro wrestling today?” It’s hard to say why fans turned against Zayn Zayn framed his conflict with Rollins as a career threat he appears sensitive or out of touch with reality who comes across as a practical figure who understands the business THE 1️⃣7️⃣ TIME CHAMP IS HERE!#WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/WCvyixE512 Another factor to consider is the crowd’s long-term memory Zayn challenged him with a pointed question that tapped into their history: “For as long as you’ve known me This would imply that Zayn has never shied away from a challenge or backed down in the face of danger Zayn was the number-one contender for the Universal Championship urged him to challenge Roman Reigns immediately instead of waiting for WWE’s next premium live event making excuses rather than seizing the opportunity but only after aggressive persuasion from Lesnar Yet, perhaps the simplest explanation, as Occam’s Razor suggests Why did fans root for Zayn’s total annihilation and watching him wreck people is an absolute thrill What did you make of Kansas City cheering and then booing Sami Zayn A WWE star has teased potentially joining the newly formed alliance of Seth Rollins In the opening segment of this week’s WWE Raw (April 28) Sami Zayn took issue with Seth Rollins’ new union with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker – calling out his long-time friend for his hypocrisy In order to avoid the two sides having any problems in the future Rollins gave Zayn an ultimatum and offered him a move to SmackDown – a move which Heyman later revealed would also see Zayn face the winner of the Undisputed WWE Championship match between John Cena and Randy Orton Despite being goaded on to take the deal by Karrion Kross backstage Zayn rejected the offer and in-turn received a brutal beatdown from Breakker to end Monday’s show with Rollins adding in an exclamation point to his former friend via a Curb Stomp Following Zayn’s rejection of Rollins’ offer Karrion Kross took to Twitter to ask his followers whether they feel like Zayn made the right decision This then led to a fan suggesting that Kross should join Rollins’ faction due to the pair’s visions for WWE being closely aligned In response Kross then teased that he was intrigued by the idea Kross would then share a GIF of Batman stroking his chin – suggesting further that he was intrigued by the idea Kross reportedly “turned heads” within WWE with his viral rant on the WrestleMania 41 Recap show but there’s said to be no heat on him for what he said and he has since appeared briefly on the past two episodes of Raw A new update has emerged on whether WWE are intending on adding new members to the Rollins, Heyman and Breakker faction – click here for full details. — Kevin Robert Kesar (@realKILLERkross) April 29, 2025 Bron Breakker recently made headlines after his alliance with Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins The Dog of WWE lost the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 and joined Heyman and Rollins’ faction on RAW after ‘Mania Breakker and Rollins have been unstoppable with The Wiseman by their side a WWE Hall of Famer had some advice for the former Intercontinental Champion Big Sexy hosted the latest edition of his “Kliq This” podcast he referred to Breakker joining forces with The Visionary and The Wiseman The WWE Hall of Famer sent a message to The Dog urging him to do his best to ‘protect himself’ and not exaggerate things to avoid getting injured The WWE legend noted that Breakker is still very young and nowhere near his prime This is another reason why he needs to protect himself in his alliance with Rollins and Heyman even though the former IC Champion possesses decent promo skills Nash expects to see Heyman and Rollins do the talking Bron Breakker teamed up with Heyman and Rollins on RAW after ‘Mania and has now started a new storyline in WWE The Dog received high praise from a former WWE Superstar and his former tag team partner Following a brutal assault on Sami Zayn last week the question is what is next for the new faction on RAW and whether they will need to dish out more punishment from Reigns and Punk who are still out for revenge after Heyman’s betrayal at WrestleMania 41 he made their group even stronger with former Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker winning as well We're less than thirty minutes out from tonight's episode and WWE has promoted some of the things we're going to see tonight so I apologize to anyone who was hoping to see more of him and Randy Orton Nick Aldis is filling in for Adam Pearce tonight We'll see if he can manage the chaos of Monday Night Raw any better than his colleague The show kicks off with Seth Rollins coming to the ring with Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman not far behind Rollins is wearing his classic outlandish outfit Seth is rocking the most insane sunglasses pic.twitter.com/ukgFgbcriuApril 29, 2025 Seth apologizes to people who want to cheer for Roman Reigns and CM Punk Seth Rollins says the future of the wrestling industry runs through him especially now that he has Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman at his side Sami calls Seth's new faction a "load of crap," because Rollins is effectively just another Paul Heyman guy like Roman Reigns and CM Punk but I do find it interesting that Rollins is trying to justify he's not creating another super faction managed by Heyman Rollins offers Sami Zayn the chance to be moved to SmackDown since he's clearly not on board with his future vision for Monday Night Raw I think it feels like a fictionalized version of Seth playing politics behind the scenes and suggesting he has the power to influence what happens on the brand Rhea Ripley is making her way out to the ring for her match with Roxanne Perez She's rocking her classic purple and black vest and makeup Roxanne Perez has already gotten to dip her toes in the bright lights of the main roster after her performance in the 2025 Royal Rumble Here's hoping she wins over the crowd here on Monday Night Raw tonight Taking on Rhea Ripley in one of your first matches is a tough challenge in terms of winning over the crowd this match is going how I expected it so far but it'll take a lot to get the crowd to turn on Rhea Ripley for even a second She's just too over for Roxanne to get a solid pop thus far Giulia's interference in the match leads to a DQ victory for Rhea Ripley The NXT women attempt a beat down but Iyo Sky arrives to help It seems like a tag-team match for these four is going to be set for Backlash and Finn is upset he was left out of the news of his surprise return for the tag titles match against The New Day I'm surprised to see him doing another angle so soon after beating AJ Styles I'll be curious to see who his next feud is lined up against I guess Jey Uso's first title defense is going to be against Logan Paul He delivered a super kick to Paul to shut him up and made his way out of the ring though I do worry about Logan Paul becoming a world champion in the WWE Even if you feel Jey Uso isn't a worthy champion surely his tenure in WWE has earned him more respect than losing the title to Paul The New Day is ringside watching The War Raiders and Judgement Day compete for a shot at the tag team titles I guess I misheard earlier what was going to happen I wouldn't mind seeing the War Raiders get another shot but I think Judgement Day is going to face New Day at Backlash Kofi and Xavier making themselves crack up making jokes about Ivar The War Raiders win and will now get a chance at the tag titles Penta is doing his little freak walk on the commentary table as the match ends Paul Heyman finds Sami Zayn in the locker room and reminds him that he was once in The Bloodline He can stay on Monday Night Raw and face Bron Breakker in the ring or he can agree to be traded to SmackDown and Rollins and Heyman have arranged for him to get a guaranteed title shot at the Undisputed Championship after the Backlash PLE Pat McAfee just said "What's the crack" as Becky Lynch made her entrance I learned from my Irish friend Séan Ferrick over at our sister site TrekCulture that is the equivalent of saying "What's good?" in Ireland Becky somewhat buries the Jade/Naomi angle by saying there won't be a "weeks long mystery" wondering who attacked Bayley I feel like Becky is really trying for some heat with this promo but the crowd doesn't know how to do anything else but cheer at this point I'm not sure Lyra Valkyria or even Bayley is as over with the audience as Becky She's doing good on the mic but the crowd is hitting her with the "what" chants Lyra has gotten the crowd back on her side by challenging Becky to a match and talking about how she defeated her in NXT Becky also finally managed to get booed by taking a cheap shot at Kansas City Penta and Chad Gable exchange some words backstage Penta kicks him in the chest after Gable insults Fenix though I have to wonder what the plan for him is We don't get much time to discuss that because it's time for Stephanie Vaquer vs Stephanie Vaquer made relatively short work of Ivy Nile I didn't necessarily expect anything different and think she's going to get a big push in the WWE After seeing AJ Styles and Karrion Kross speak backstage we're now to Pat McAfee's segment where he addresses the Gunther situation Pat McAfee wouldn't be one of the most in-demand people in the sports commentary business if he wasn't good at cutting promos Pat did what he does best and had the crowd hype I can't say it was enough to make me excited to see McAfee potentially take on Gunther in a match Nick Aldis interrupted and told him to cool it we're getting Pat McAfee and Gunther at Backlash Sami Zayn linked up with Jey Uso backstage who was aware of the offer that Paul Heyman made him why did Heyman ask Otis to leave the room when he made the offer if everyone was going to see the conversation air on live television Seth Rollins called Sami Zayn out to the ring to get his answer on what he's going to do Will he choose to move to SmackDown and get a title shot after Backlash I'm not sure what the angle is here with Seth Rollins after this partnership with Paul Heyman His tone with Sami Zayn was a little more earnest than the Seth we've seen the past year in the WWE Maybe it's all a work and he's still as slimy as ever I don't think anyone who watches Monday Night Raw is surprised by this I'm guessing he's about to get a horrific beatdown here soon Bron Breakker and Sami Zayn are closing out the night I guess I was unfamiliar with just how jacked Sami Zayn is as well They practically look evenly matched in the ring in terms of physique despite my mind telling me Breakker in the bigger one of the two I would love to hear from a WWE wrestler how painful it is to take a spear from Bron Breakker It doesn't look like he holds anything back when he goes for it I feel like the WWE gave Bronson Reed the heel move of pulling off his finisher multiple times and the minute he got injured it's been given to every heel in the business trying to make a point I'm hoping when Reed finally returns it returns to just being a thing that he does Seth Rollins ends the night with a curb stomp I'm not exactly sure what Seth Rollins' motivation is in the WWE but I still like his partnership with Paul Heyman and Bron Breakker so we can just be happy with what we got this week and tune in for the next Monday Night Raw Braun Strowman’s WWE Release Doesn’t Make Sense To Me For A Really Obvious Reason Alex Rodriguez And Charlotte Flair Went To The Lakers Game Together All I've Seen Is Negativity Online About How Bad The Predator Looks In Predator: Badlands But Here's Why That Recent
