Roman Reigns’s Surprise Attack on Sheamus; Impromptu Title Fight Ensues on ‘RAW’
On WWE Monday Night RAW, as heavyweight champion Sheamus roamed about the ring, hoisting his shiny new belt high above his head, he was hit, literally, with a flying superman punch by recent rival Roman Reigns. Reigns took the belt from Sheamus and made off backstage, where Triple H informed him that Sheamus wanted to square off with him for a title fight that same night. Not backing down, Reigns accepted the challenge before Stephanie McMahon informed him of one rule: To earn the belt, he would have to win by pin or submission. And he had to get that win in 5 minutes 15 seconds or less. When the match finally went down, there were a few surprises that led to a win for Reigns, but Sheamus kept the belt.
WWE Monday Night RAW airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on USA.
