Ups

7. Let’s Get There

OK, you’ve got us. We want to finally see it, so can we please move toward the inevitable Kevin Owens versus Seth Rollins match at WrestleMania?

KO suffered two brutal beatdowns Monday night, getting jumped by Rollins and his acolytes earlier in the day, then attacking Seth’s cohorts after the main event before taking three Curbstomps to close out the show. It was a vicious beating that was really just another chapter of a very long book, but it seems to be reaching the point where things will bubble over.

Rollins and Owens had one one-on-one match back in November that ended in a DQ. Since then, it’s been sneak attacks and tag matches between the two. Monday’s attacks set the table for one of them to issue the challenge, and possibly put some stakes to it – like, loser leaves Raw since Rollins views himself as the Monday Night Messiah and KO is a thorn in his side.

But we’ll give this a tacit “up” because it feels like it’s reaching the pre-Mania climax.
