Monday Night Raw opened with an incredible segment featuring both the new Universal Champion Seth Rollins and the New WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, accompanied by Xavier Woods and Big E, of course. Rollins and Kingston shared pleasantries, but the Dreadlocked Dynamo quickly got down to business.
Kingston said that the main event of WrestleMania got him thinking about a Title Unification match for the WWE and Universal Championships, leading him to challenging the Beast Slayer. Rollins, who had just stated he would defend the title more than Brock Lesnar, accepted Kingston’s request.
