The Era of the Architect begins tonight on WWE Monday Night RAW.

#2 The era of the Architect

The Beastslayer is a man of his word and is now the Universal Champion.

WrestleMania 35 was shocking, to say the least, and one of the most shocking moments came early on when the Universal title was defended first.

In a short, high-octane match, Lesnar and Rollins immediately got fans pumped up, though it was Rollins who emerged the victor.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Using a low-blow and three Curb Stomps to capture the Universal title, no-one can claim that the new Champion fought fair, but after the Beast's sporadic appearances with the gold, it seems the end justifies the means.

With the Universal gold finally once again around the waist of a full-time Superstar, Rollins is hoping to usher in a new era tonight.

What will the Architect have to say, 24 hours removed from his biggest win, and what presence will Lesnar and Paul Heyman have tonight?
