Seth Rollins has given his reaction to earning the opportunity to challenge Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at the upcoming SummerSlam pay-per-view event.
Lesnar cashed-in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Rollins to win the Universal Title at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Philadelphia, PA at the Wells Fargo Center.
Fast forward to Monday’s Raw where WWE held a Cross Brand All-Star Battle Royal that saw Rollins beat Roman Reigns, Baron Corbin, Cesaro, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Rey Mysterio, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, and SmackDown Tag Team Champion Big E.
With this win, Rollins earned the right to challenge for the Universal Title against Lesnar. Earlier today, Rollins took to his official Twitter account where he wrote the following:
“Its been my mission since Rumble to bring that title back to Raw and to the live events every week..and to defend it with passion. Lesnar is my Everest, and with your support….at Summerslam I reach the summit.”
