8 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Battleground 2015

2. Unlucky Number

Maybe it was accidental, but Brock Lesnar landed 13 suplexes (mostly Germans) on Seth Rollins before hitting and F-5 and going for the pin. That pinfall never got past one, when Undertaker€™s gong sounded and the Deadman returned to the ring for the first time since WrestleMania. Rollins escaped with his WWE World Heavyweight Championship, but only because Taker let him. Before that and in-between the suplexes, Rollins managed to take the fight directly to Brock Lesnar, hitting a series of superkicks and dives onto Brock, but that direct fight didn€™t last long before the suplexes continued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHy7Gm2Texw Probably the highlight personally was seeing Lesnar just b**chslap Rollins, only for Seth to paintbrush Lesnar back. He knew he was in over his head, but he wasn€™t about to go down like a fleeing coward. It€™s a shame that we haven€™t seen more of that character at various events, but at least Rollins stood up to Lesnar rather than cowering when the bell rang.
