As week discussed on our Royal Rumble Review Facebook Live yesterday, a lot of WWE fans were pissed off with Seth Rollins' exclusion from the pay-per-view, not to mention the lack of any surprise entrants in the rumble match, but last night's Raw set a lot of wrongs right.
Months after costing Seth Rollins the Universal Title, Triple H finally showed up on Raw to address the weekend's events, where Rollins had invaded The Game's NXT Takeover event, in order to confront him. For anyone out of the loop, NXT is Triple H's baby and the storyline evolved from Rollins tracking him down to the one place he knew he was going to be.
Anyhow, last night Rollins came running down to confront HHH but low and behold, he was ambushed by none other than Samoa Joe. A veteran of the indie scene, Joe has been at NXT for a long time and fans have been eagerly awaiting his debut on the main roster. However I don't think many were expecting his heel appearance last night.
It had looked like Seth Rollins v Triple H at Wrestlemania was a shoe-in but with Joe entering the fray now it's interesting to see what angle they take. A match between for Ring of Honor stars, Rollins and Joe certainly sounds appetising as well.
Meanwhile, Roman Reigns got some revenge last night when he came out and cost Braun Strowman in his WWE Universal Title match with Kevin Owens, which has left us wondering is Reigns v Undertaker at Wrestlmania not on the cards then? And also, how can they keep booking Kevin Owens to looks so shit but keep the belt on him?
