12 WWE SummerSlam 2019 Impulse Reactions

1. Brock Lesnar Vs. Seth Rollins

The Fiend

"Seth Rollins has shocked the world" was the closing line from Michael Cole as 'The Architect' celebrated his second victory over Brock Lesnar this year and his second stint with the Universal Championship. The biggest shock of all was that the Toronto audience had their hatred quelled by Rollins by the time he'd once again toppled 'The Beast'. Can Round Two somehow fix all the problems raised in his first reign?

Rollins did himself no favours with his divisive Twitter patter and questionable promo work, but his work has often spoken for itself and it certainly did here. Bouncing around brilliantly for a Lesnar that was clearly in the mood, Seth gave his body to the cause and the cause - for the first time in months - gave him something back.

Seth will now move on to f*ck-knows-what without Brock to bounce off of, but somebody other than Baron Corbin for three months will hopefully help him stand a better chance second time around.
