After making his first televised defense of the World Heavyweight Championship, Seth Rollins looks to already have his next challenger.
Rollins defeated Damian Priest in the main event of last night's Raw to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Rollins and Finn Balor then had a staredown in the ring after the match was over.
Priest agreed that the rest of Judgment Day would stay backstage for his match against Rollins, but that didn't end up happening. When Balor tried to interfere near the end of the match, he got dropped with a superkick by Rollins. The distraction led to Priest giving Rollins a South of Heaven chokeslam, but Rollins was able to kick out. Rollins delivered a stomp to Priest soon after to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
It appeared that Priest was disappointed that Balor got involved in the match. He asked Balor why he was there, which allowed Rollins to slip out of a Razor's Edge before hitting the stomp.
There was a moment in the match where Rollins gave Priest a powerbomb into the barricade — the same move that Rollins injured Balor with in their Universal Championship match at SummerSlam 2016.
Money in the Bank qualifiers also continued on last night's Raw. Becky Lynch and Zoey Stark both booked their spots in the women's ladder match.
