Seth Rollins had a decision to make.
By winning the men’s Royal Rumble, Rollins could either challenge Universal Champion Brock Lesnar or WWE Champion Daniel Bryan. Earlier on Raw, Triple H encouraged Rollins to think hard about his choice but to make it by the end of the night.
In the main event segment of Raw, Lesnar showed up and Rollins tried to strike before he verbally stated his decision.
This was a horrible idea.

Sure Rollins got in one good, clean sucker punch, but Lesnar countered his surprise attack with five F-5’s, with the fifth coming on top of the Universal title.
Is that an official challenge? Did Brock say yes in his own Brock way? Can Lesnar and Rollins try and tell their story entirely through non-verbal communication?
How do you like the start of Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar’s feud?
