- A top talent has made a shocking heel turn – and it’s not their first in their career
- WWE celebrated a lot of their new champions and started several new storylines
Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman were the talk of the industry on Saturday night after their stunning heel turn at the close of WrestleMania 41’s night one and the pair used Monday Night Raw to explain their actions.
CM Punk and Roman Reigns had little interesting hearing what they had to say and both made their own attempts to shut them up.
However, Heyman and Rollins were saved by a hooded figure just as Reigns was set to Spear the former in half.
That figure turned out to be Bron Breakker, the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner who has long appeared destined for greatness.
The trio of Heyman, Rollins and Breakker stood tall to close out the show and signify the beginning of a new dawn in the company. A power shift indeed.
