Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins Set for WWE WrestleMania 35 After Beatdown on Raw

WWE announced Monday night that Brock Lesnar will defend the Universal Championship against Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35 in April.

Rollins was set to decide between facing either Lesnar for the Universal title or Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship on Monday's episode of Raw, but Lesnar essentially made the decision for him by hitting The Kingslayer with multiple F5s.

WrestleMania will mark the first time Rollins and Lesnar have faced each other in a singles match since Battleground 2015.

On Monday, Lesnar and Paul Heyman hit the ring when Rollins was supposed to be making his decision, and Heyman proceeded to run Rollins down on the mic.

The Architect then stormed to the ring and went face-to-face with Lesnar after beating Dean Ambrose earlier in the night and outlasting 29 other men to win the Rumble the night before.

Rollins took a beating at the hands of The Beast Incarnate, and he faces an uphill battle on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Lesnar and Rollins have no shortage of history, dating back to Royal Rumble 2015 when they were part of a WWE Championship Triple Threat match that also included John Cena.

Lesnar won that match, and he went on to face Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 31.

Rollins interrupted that bout at WrestleMania by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract and pinning Reigns to become WWE champion for the first time.

Lesnar figured to get his hands on Rollins at Battleground, but in the midst of a short match, The Undertaker interfered and attacked The Beast.

Rollins escaped that match with the title and hasn't interacted much with Lesnar since then.

The roles are now reversed compared to their previous feud, as Rollins is the clear babyface and Lesnar is the heel.

There is little doubt fans are firmly behind Rollins, and it should aid in the storytelling aspect of his feud with Lesnar leading up to WrestleMania.

Rollins and Lesnar will do battle in one of the main events of WrestleMania 35 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on April 7.
