Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins
After having suffered a devastating knee injury in 2015, this was Seth Rollins’ big return to the WWE and for his first match back, ‘The Architect’ had the task of defeating his former Shield brethren Roman Reigns.

There’s no doubt in the fact that Reigns and Rollins have amazing in-ring chemistry with each other and the two once again proved why they’ve been labeled as WWE’s two big superstars of the next generation.

During this match, Reigns and Rollins crafted a very interesting dynamic with each other, with the latter being treated as the hero in this match despite being the heel.
Reigns, however, targeted Rollins’ injured knee, but that did not stop ‘The Architect’ from pulling-off all his high impact moves, which absolutely lit up the crowd as well.
However, the biggest pop of the evening belonged to Seth Rollins when he cleanly defeated Reigns following The Pedigree to win back the WWE Title and Dean Ambrose’s cash-in just moments later was the perfect way to cap off the night.
