Seth 'freaking’ Rollins has transformed the flagship show into Monday Night Rollins with his incredible performance. Over the past few weeks, he is the one who has carried the show on his back. A similar performance is expected of him, tonight, also.
Furthermore, Brock Lesnar is absent from the scene and is not expected to return until Summerslam. So, it is almost confirmed that the Rollins is 'The Man’ who will continue to be the prime champion present on the flagship show, for now.
