Beast, slayed

Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins kept his promise. The WWE Superstar and NEW Universal Champion just slayed The Beast, besting Brock Lesnar in the opening match of WrestleMania 35.

See how happy he is? For the belt, sure, but also maybe a bit just to still be alive?

It took one low blow and three stomps for Rollins to topple the “Raw” men’s champion and mixed martial arts star. The challenger and crowd-favorite, who walked into New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with a new “Game of Thrones”-inspired entrance, took one hell of a beating outside the ring before the match even started.

It didn’t get much safer for Rollins when things became official between the ropes.

Give an assist here to the referee, who was knocked out of the ring and missed the illegal crotch shot, on this “W.” We’re sure Lesnar’s “advocate,” Paul Heyman, will go with that excuse tomorrow night on “Monday Night Raw.”

Watch the prizefight unfold in videos below.
