Seth Rollins interrupted Elias’ musical performance during the latest episode of Raw and the Intercontinental Champion went on to have a match with Jinder Mahal.
However, their match ended in a disqualification and after the bout, Elias attacked the former Universal Champion with his guitar to end the segment.
At first, it was thought to be a one-off thing but this interaction was apparently the start of a rivalry between these two as a match between them has been announced for Money In The Bank.
Both Rollins and Elias had been taking shots at each other on Twitter after the show and their exchange ended with the Champion agreeing to put his title on the line:
Broken guitars don’t get the last word. If Elias wanted to come for the man, he’s got a mouth full of canvas coming to him. #FightingChampion #MITB
