Watch: 41-year-old WWE Superstar attacks Seth Rollins at a live event ahead of Money in the Bank
World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins was attacked recently at a WWE Live Event in Newcastle, England.
The Visionary will put the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against The Judgment Day's Finn Balor tomorrow at the premium live event. Their rivalry goes back seven years, as Balor defeated Rollins at SummerSlam 2016 to become the inaugural Universal Champion.
However, Finn's title reign didn't last long, as he had to relinquish the Universal Championship the following day due to injury. Since then, Rollins has been one of the most popular stars in the company, while Balor has struggled to get back to the top of the card.
During the recent live event in Newcastle, Seth Rollins successfully defended his title against Damian Priest. After the bout, The Visionary cut a promo but was brutally attacked by Balor.
The former NXT Champion targeted Rollins' injured ribs in the attack and could be heading into the World Heavyweight Championship match tomorrow with a massive advantage.
