Seth Rollins Becomes WWE Grand Slam Champion At WrestleMania 34
'The Kingslayer' reigns on a night of great change.
In becoming WWE Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania 34, Seth Rollins has joined an elite club that only a handful of currently active roster members can claim membership to.
'The Kingslayer' is now a Grand Slam Champion, adding the IC strap to a collection that already included the United States, Tag Team, and WWE Titles. This isn't every belt available to him, but the modern format states that a wrestler needs both secondary championships (IC and US), one tag belt, and one world title to qualify. Thus, Seth is the latest to make the grade.
His 'Mania triumph was one of six title changes on the night. On the Kickoff Show, Cedric Alexander defeated Mustafa Ali to take the vacant Cruiserweight strap. Later, Jinder Mahal scored an upset US Title win, while Nia Jax, the Bludgeon Brothers took expected Women's and SmackDown Tag Title wins.
The most bizarre change came late in the show, when Braun Strowman chose Nicholas (a planted child from the audience) as his partner against Raw Tag Champions Sheamus and Cesaro, whom he flattened in four minutes.
It was a night of great change for WWE, but the title retentions were arguably more shocking than the switches, with Roman Reigns and Asuka falling to Brock Lesnar and Charlotte Flair respectively.
