Seth Rollins beats Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship, becomes two-time WWE Grand Slam Champion

Seth Rollins made history this week Monday Night Raw By becoming a two-time Grand Slam champion, by defeating Bobby Lashley at the United States Championship. Lashley cut a promotion before the scheduled match, only for Brock Lesnar to attack him and badly damage his arm with Kimura’s lock. Rollins then rushed over and demanded the match happen anyway, leading Lashley to tease his military background. Lashley chose the competition anyway and nearly won the contact with the spear, but Rollins was able to attack the injured arm and keep “The All Mighty” low for three times.

Rollins was the eleventh man to become a Grand Slam champion in WWE history under its current rules and now joins The Miz as the only wrestler to ever win it twice. Tonight he entered the four-time world champion, two-time Intercontinental champion and six-time tag team champion, but only held the US title once – he won it from John Cena in 2015. summerslam event and return it to Sina a month later.

Rollins recently spoke with Ariel Helwani and discussed how, despite his decorated career in WWE, he was never positioned as her top superstar. It is to explain (H/T Cageside Seats), “I feel like I’ve never, in some ways, never really gotten due. There’s always like… I’ve never been the guy, you know? The rectangle at WrestleMania. It was John (Cena), it was Roman (Reigns). In some ways when I was on Ring of Honor it was Nigel (McGuinness), it was Bryan (Danielson). And I was always the guy up or down. I was kind of the second type or the next big thing, you know? That always eats me up. He eats me a lot. I don’t know where that competitive spark comes from but it drives me crazy The thing is if I was that person I don’t know if it would go away I’ll always find a way to put the chip in there It’s the way I work best I have to Get it for a reason, in every way. Sometimes for better or for worse.”

He later added, “I don’t know, man.” “I wonder a lot if I lived in Roman times that would never happen. The only time I thought, I guess, for the main event was WrestleMania when Roman had leukemia and was out August through January whatever or February. I was kind of late in the The little shaft of the baby’s face is there, and you know, I got in. I feel like it’s one of those things, I’m like… The best I can hope for is to be the Edge to Cena, or Savage to Hogan. Sometimes I just feel like that’s the way it is Its cookie crumbles. It doesn’t mean I don’t think I’m better than it is, or that I can perform, or that I can draw at that level. I definitely think all of these things, but it’s not my sandbox. I don’t make these decisions. “
