It is very rare indeed to see someone like Brock Lesnar get mauled in MMA or WWE. But Seth Rollins absolutely annihilated The Beast Incarnate with a steel chair, even actually hurting him in the process, at least from the way it looked on our TV screens.
Had Brock Lesnar come out later during the night and actually cashed in his contract on Kofi Kingston, it would have undersold the beatdown that Seth Rollins gave him. I'm guessing this beatdown will be a ploy to write him off television for a few weeks until SummerSlam comes around.

We will all begin to breathe easy as the year passes and we forget that there's a Beast lurking in the shadows with a contract. And then, closer to SummerSlam, Lesnar's return will bring carnage and doom.
I guess it was cool of Lesnar to sell the kayfabe injury in this manner.
