Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defended his title against LA Knight in the main event of WWE Raw.
Rollins won the World Heavyweight Championship during SummerSlam over the weekend, where he was able to successfully cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on his rival CM Punk, who had just defeated Gunther.
Rollins has a new villainous cabal, which includes manager Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Rollins kicked off Raw Monday by celebrating his championship win, stating that his vision for professional wrestling can now begin.
Rollins gloated about fooling everyone about his injury, with LA Knight then entering the scene. Rollins had first appeared injured during a match with Knight and used it to his advantage on Punk. The Megastar challenged Rollins to a title match that was later made official by Raw general manager Adam Pearce, who also banned Breakker and Reed from ringside.
Knight brought the fight to Rollins during the main event and even landed a Burning Hammer on the champ. Knight destroyed the announcer's area after he repeatedly smashed Rollins' face into the announcer's table.
