Seth Rollins Meets Shawn Michaels
HB-Shizzle, meet Seth Freakin’ Rollins. Shawn Michaels swung by Raw in Dallas, as promised, though he apparently didn’t stick to his planned duties of introducing Seth Rollins to the WWE Universe in The Lone Star State. An irate Seth Rollins confronts the Showstopper over not introducing him & blasts him for wasting time talking about “relics of the past.” Seth states that everyone calls him the second coming of Shawn Michaels, a Shawn 2.0. Shawn Michaels laughs and says if he had a nickel for every time there was supposedly a second coming of him, he’d be a billionaire. The Showstopper then gave Rollins a bit of veteran advice, saying “It never once EVER, occurred to me in my career to try to be the second coming of anybody. Because I was too busy becoming the greatest of all time.”
Perhaps Rollins should take the Showstopper’s advice and focus on being only Seth Rollins. Rollins got fed up with HBK’s responses and tried to time out early but Shawn replies “The downside to being the second coming of someone is when you tell them to hit your music, they won’t do it.”
Shawn then places Rollins in a match with Ryback.
Rollins makes short work of that match up and gains one of his first victories in a Raw match in what feels like quite some time.

A Strange Reunion Where Not Much Has Changed
Backstage a meeting again occurs between the authority and Shawn Michaels. They are discussing Ambrose & Reigns and how they need a partner in the upcoming main event match, considering Randy Orton has been rendered absent. Shawn kindly suggests Rollins for the job but the authority disagrees thinking past histories may become a problem. Rollins though wants to prove to the Showstopper he can do what he pleases on Raw and agrees to be the partner.
Don’t call it a reunion by any means, but Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns’ first re-teaming since the days of The Shield — against The Wyatt Family, no less — undoubtedly left the WWE Universe misty-eyed with memories of wars past. If only the outcome was better. Somewhat predictably, Ambrose and Reigns got along less than swimmingly with the man who “destroyed” them to strike out on his own, as Rollins refuses a tag pretending to have a charlie horse in his knee. Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman and a returning Erick Rowan (Luke Harper was suspiciously absent, as was recent Wyatt rival Randy Orton) capitalized in a big way.
