– Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins met in the ring for the main event segment just one week after it was announced they would face off at the Royal Rumble. Roman said he wouldn’t have picked Seth as an opponent if he was wanting to face the biggest star possible. Seth then reminded Roman that he created him and can just as easily destroy him. The Usos then tried to attack Seth, but he was able to get away.
