WWE SummerSlam 2019: 5 Potential finishes for Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins - shocking betrayal, squash match
Seth Rollins will challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship in what is expected to be the main event of the 2019 WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view.
The rivalry between the two men started in January 2019 when Rollins won the Royal Rumble to set up a Universal Championship match against “The Beast” at WrestleMania 35.
The former Shield member went on to defeat Lesnar in the opening match of the main PPV, earning the nickname “Beastslayer” in the process, and he began his first reign with the title by defending it against AJ Styles and Baron Corbin between April and July.
During that time, Lesnar surprisingly won the Money In The Bank ladder match in May before cashing in on Rollins at the end of the Extreme Rules PPV in July, becoming a three-time holder of the Universal Championship.
Since then, Rollins has won a 10-Man Battle Royal to set up another rematch at SummerSlam, while Lesnar has repeatedly punished his rival with brutal beatdowns on Raw in the build-up to their meeting in Toronto on August 11.
So, with this match likely to signal the end of the seven-month storyline, will Lesnar retain and emerge as the overall winner of the rivalry? Or will Rollins defeat his beastly opponent once again?
Let’s take a look at five potential finishes to their SummerSlam encounter.
#5 Brock Lesnar destroys Seth Rollins in a squash match
If The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels’ WWE legacies are defined by WrestleMania, then perhaps Brock Lesnar should be defined by his legendary battles at SummerSlam.
One of the Universal Champion’s most famous matches at the PPV came at SummerSlam 2014, where he hit 16 German suplexes on John Cena in one of the most one-sided main events in WWE history.
Now, although Seth Rollins has been among WWE’s top good guys between 2016-2019, there is no question that his momentum as a babyface has gradually deteriorated over the last few months.
Lesnar's rival has come out second-best in every altercation he has had with “The Beast” recently, so is it really believable that he stands even the slightest chance of defeating the former UFC star in a regular one-on-one match?
Based on the evidence of their Raw interactions lately, this could be another dominant Lesnar victory, sealed with his trademark F-5.
