#4: Seth Rollins welcomed Austin Theory to join his crew with open arms
As Austin Theory lay rejected in one corner, WWE's Monday Night Messiah entered the frame.
Murphy and Aleister Black were scheduled for a singles match, and Seth Rollins chose to divert his attention to Theory instead.
The production behind this segment was quite impressive. Without any extended verbal communication, the action conveyed everything perfectly. Rollins ordered Theory to attack Black, who was seconds away from defeating Murphy. When Rollins chose to embrace his new disciple several times, the camera cuts showed how Murphy may not be onboard with Theory joining them.
This is certainly an interesting conflict that WWE will explore in the next few episodes. Everything about Seth Rollins after WWE's Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View has been intriguing.
If last week's episode made you believe that the Messiah gimmick was dead, then this particular episode showed that is not the case.
Instead, Rollins thanked Rey Mysterio for helping him during a moment of crisis, which just shows that WWE's fraudulent Messiah has become a more efficient con artist now.
