This is the best Brock Lesnar match since conquering The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania XXX. With Lesnar’s WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line as well as a spot in the Main Event of WrestleMania 31, everybody wanted to win. A victory for Rollins’ would've been his first World Title win, and a Cena win would've been his 16th. Lesnar was Lesnar, the unstoppable beast that will leave you in a pool of blood, urine, and vomit. Cena was Cena, never giving up while displaying copious amounts of hustle, loyalty, and respect. Seth Rollins was the dirty coward, hiding behind the backs of J&J Security, and holding an ace up his sleeve in the form of the Money in the Bank briefcase.

Out of all the opening match flurries of dominance Lesnar’s had since defeating The Streak, his performance in the opening five minutes of this match stands out. German Suplexing Cena and Rollins at will, as well as delivering a double German Suplex to both members of J&J security, Lesnar's ascendancy is a thing of beauty. However, just as beautiful is the entire sequence where Rollins and Cena trade moves to ultimately put Lesnar through the Spanish announcers' table.

With the biggest threat out of the way, Cena and Rollins turned to each other. While the two battled, Paul Heyman screamed for medical assistance for his client. Michael Cole reported that Lesnar suffered a cracked rib. Cena and Rollins continued to slug it out, only for 'The Beast' to return to the ring after Rollins hit a Pheonix Splash. Similar to Seth Rollins in the Main Event of WrestleMania 31, Lesnar (re)joined the match late and by the time fans registered that he was back, the match was over and Brock Lesnar was still the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
