After mulling it over for a duration of Monday Night RAW, the 2019 Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins had to choose his opponent for WrestleMania 35. Rollins would try to get the jump on “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar but was violently dismantled by the WWE Universal Champion as RAW ended.
With both Lesnar and WWE Champion Daniel Bryan in attendance, the former would walk to the ring with Paul Heyman alongside him. Heyman would try to persuade Rollins in going “the easy way out,” opting for him to choose Daniel Bryan over Lesnar. Heyman feels that it would be best to protect Rollins when in reality, he could be protecting Lesnar. Rollins would charge to the ring and confront Lesnar, immediately targeting the midsection of the champion. Before Rollins could finish him with a Curb Stomp, Lesnar caught him with an F-5.

The assault against “The Kingslayer” wouldn’t end there, as Lesnar would proceed to deliver three more F-5s in a row. Thinking that his message was sent, Lesnar was ready to leave the ring before Rollins mustered the strength to provoke Brock once more. Lesnar would obliged and give Rollins a fifth F-5, hoping that this will convince Rollins to choose the “better” path.
