Eating six F-5s isn’t how you’d imagine kicking off a WrestleMania Universal Championship match feud, but it worked well Monday night.

As the winner of the men’s Royal Rumble, Seth Rollins had to choose who he would face at Mania. Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman made their way to the ring and ran down Rollins, saying he should choose Daniel Bryan because it’s safe for him.

Cue Rollins, who attacked Lesnar, and quickly ate a succession of F-5s. Even after five had been issued, Rollins was still defiant, lying on the ropes yelling at Brock, “Is that all you got?” It was suicidal, as Lesnar charged at Rollins and landed a sixth F-5.

It’ll be interesting to see how Rollins approaches his match against Lesnar, who already appears unbeatable but has been beaten.
