Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Shinsuke Nakamura beat up Seth Rollins after the wrestling show went off air during WWE Payback.
As seen in the video below, WWE released post-show footage of Nakamura attacking Rollins from behind as he and Adam Pearce walked to the back. Nakamura kicked Rollins around as officials tried to get him to leave. Rollins slowly got back to his feet but Nakamura grabbed him by his hair, and ran him to the stage to launch him head-first into the LED board. Nakamura then took a bow and left to the back as officials tended to Rollins.
Rollins became the inaugural WWE World Heavyweight Champion by winning the tournament finals over AJ Styles as Night of Champions on May 27. He has held the strap for 98 recognized days and counting.
Going into the match, the big story was that Rollins has been dealing with a bad back for years and he doesn’t know how much longer he will be able to keep up this pace. After the show went off the air, Nakamura attacked Rollins.
It’s pretty clear that Nakamura vs. Rollins will happen again and likely at next month’s Fastland PLE in Indianapolis. WWE has been rebuilding Nakamura as a top star, similar to his run in New Japan Pro Wrestling and NXT and that was noted on commentary. It is interesting that Muta was flown in for the show so perhaps, there’s more to come with Muta getting involved in this feud.
