Seth Rollins is a big, bad dude; he's secured wins over basically every performer on the WWE main roster over the last decade or so via his impressive in-ring efforts, his wits, and his brutality, and might just be the favorite to win the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. But what happens when you place Rollins in the ring with a mountain of a man like Omos at Backlash, who could barely be moved around by āThe Beast Incarnate,ā Brock Lesnar, at WrestleMania 39? Well, let's just say āThe Visionaryā has to get creative in order to come out of the match on top.
This match had an interesting angle, with Rollins attempting to finish off Omos with the Curb Stomp, but the move had a diminished effect on āThe Nigerian Giantā due to his massive size. Rollins' first attempt was blocked, which seems like it shouldn't even be possible, but as the match went on, āThe Monday Night Messiahā kept his efforts up, even if two stomps in quick succession only garnered him a two count. Still, Rollins is nothing if not crafty, and after eliminating MVP, he hit his opponent with an Avalanche Curb Stomp, or a Super Curb Stomp, in the words of Michael Cole, to secure the win.
Was this finish sort of a play on Lesnar's win at WrestleMania 39? In a way, yes, but Rollins is a better worker than Lesnar so this result was far more compelling. Get ready to see Rollins competing for the World Heavyweight Championship, folks, because this win just made him a heavy favorite.
