WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin
They did the big Corbin accolades ring announcement.
Rollins is out before they can officially announce the referee. He has a steel chair. He told Corbin that any referee who comes out here looking to take his title is going to get the chair.
Corbin announced that his guest referee is Lacey Evans. Cue Becky run-in.
Lacey tried to take the chair from Seth, allowing Corbin to attack him. Corbin began beating Rollins with the chair before the bell rang, so it wasn't illegal. Lacey finally took the chair. Corbin brought him back into the ring and they officially rang the bell. Corbin covered Seth for a one count. Corbin worked over Seth, who continued to kick up. Corbin whipped Rollins into the corner several times.
The crowd began chanting, "CM Punk."
Corbin sent Rollins into the buckles yet again.
The crowd chanted "Boring."
Corbin brought Rollins to the top rope. The Universal Champion fought back and rebounded it off the ropes but was drilled in the throat. Corbin clubbed him across the back of the neck. Rollins fired back with chops. Rollins nailed a roaring forearm and a Slingblade. He came off the ropes with a Blockbuster and clotheslined him over the top to the floor. Rollins nailed a dive to the outside. He sent Corbin back intoi the ring and nailed a springboard knee strike. He covered Corbin but Lacey slowly counted to two. That led to a lot of chants for Becky Lynch, which is obviously where this is heading, mixed tag matches.
Corbin regained control and teased chokeslamming him on the apron. Rollins escaped and landed inside the ring, snapping Corbin's throat on the top rope. He then slid underneath him and powerbombed Corbin off the apon through an announcers' table. Evans began taking forever to count Corbin out. The crowd was all over her. She took forever to count to eight, then told the referee that there are no countouts. So, they are doing a version of Mick Foley vs. Steve Austin from Over the Edge '98.
Rollins grabbed Corbin and brought him back to the ring. Corbin regained control and drilled Rollins. Corbn went for a submission and Lacey was prepared to call for the bell but Rollins escaped before it could be executed. Rollins nailed Corbin and came off the the top with a frog splash. Evans counted to two, then began selling her shoulder. Michael Cole said Rollins is realizing the fix is in. Corbin attacked Rollins with a chair as Lacey didn't even watch. She finally, passively asked Corbin to give her the chair. He whispered something to her, and now Evans declared it was a No DQ match. Louder Becky chants.
Corbin went for a move but Rollins reversed it into a Falcon Arrow on a chair. Evans refused to count Rollins confronted her. She dared him to hit her and said she was the referee, then slapped Rollins, a fear she repeated. She then kicked Rollins and hit him with a low blow. Corbin nailed the End of Days but Becky Lynch hit the ring and attacked Evans. Big pop for that. Evans was sent into the barricade. Evans was then hit with an exploder into the barricade and began raining down with right hands. A number of WWE referees ran down.
WWE had John Cone replace Evans in the ring. Rollins escaped a Deep Six, nailed a superkick and a curbstomp for the pin.
Your winner and still WWE Universal Champion, Seth Rollins!
This was more interesting with the Lacey-Becky twist than a straight singles match would have been, I'll say that.
The show went off the air with Rollins and Lynch celebrating in the ring together.
