The finish came when Reigns hit Rollins with three straight Spears for the pin. It was Reigns’ first singles win over his former Shield stablemate.
After the match, Reigns held out his fist in the middle of the ring. Rollins initially hesitated before meeting him with the Shield fist bump, then left the champion standing alone in the ring to close the show.
Opening RAW puts Reigns at the center of the SummerSlam fallout and could provide an indication of what is next for the World Heavyweight Championship.
