Seth Rollins pulled off the impossible Sunday night, defeating Lesnar at SummerSlam to win back his title and silence the critics. It came in a brutal match that featured: six German suplexes, one F-5, two frogsplashes (one through a table) and three curbstomps.

What really made this match a marvel was seeing fans rally behind Rollins, because they weren’t all with him early on. It sounded like a split crowd initially, but that gave way as the contest wore on, with Rollins’ perseverance winning them over so much that they all were chanting, “Burn it down!” by the end.
