I listed out a whole bunch of surprises that could potentially take place on RAW not long ago. The one that I did not see coming was Shelton Benjamin's arrival. Paul Heyman mentioned how he'd paid Shelton Benjamin some big bucks to take out Seth Rollins, justifying his move to RAW this week.
While this wasn't a very noteworthy development, it was fun to see Seth Rollins face a fresh opponent. The thing is, because of the brand split, we do not get to see superstars from different brands face one another, except at Survivor Series. Rollins and Benjamin had an okay match, the soundtrack of which was Paul Heyman talking about Lesnar's tie-in to the situation.
If you want to know the link between the two men, check this article out. My colleague Soumik has done a great job, chronicling the reasons for the attack.
