Earlier in the night, Seth Rollins arrived to address the WWE Universe and future WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio regarding his actions from last week. He claimed he did only what was necessary, and made it clear to the Master of the 619 that he will be able to see clearly once he was through it.

Humberto Carrillo once again came out to defend the legend and challenged The Messiah for a match. Carrillo did not get what he asked for, as Murphy accepted the challenge instead and put away the highflyer with Murphy’s Law after a good match.

The two heels tried to harm Carrillo after the match, but Aleister Black arrived to send both the men running. Black then took on Murphy himself later on in the night and had the heel on the ropes before Rollins came up with another great idea.

WWE RAW's Messiah finds a new disciple

He offered Austin Theory a spot in his stable, and Theory accepted the invitation of WWE's Messiah. He helped Murphy out in the match, causing a disqualification and beat down The Dutch Destroyer.

This was a great overall build for The Messiah who seems to be back on track once again after his loss to Kevin Owens at WrestleMania. Rollins’ work was much more focused and his mic work was excellent once again.

Theory could end up being a great addition to Rollins’ faction, and he could get much more out of the group as compared to Murphy who is still looking for his major push.
