But then with an almighty twist, the future became the present and the company crowned a new heel champion right under Reigns' nose.

And while the reactions weren't quite as colossal as those that met the end of the Streak at 31, the Internet inevitably responded hugely to what Rollins - and the WWE - achieved at the end of the big event...
