Seth Rollins has earned a chance to regain the WWE United States Championship.
On the December 12 episode of WWE Raw, Seth Rollins faced Bobby Lashley in a #1 Contender's Match for the WWE United States Championship. The two stars have been feuding in recent months, as Rollins beat Lashley to win the United States Championship after Brock Lesnar attacked "The All Mighty" on the October 10 episode of Raw. Their rivalry continued over the next few weeks, and Austin Theory entered the mix. He beat Rollins and Lashley to win the title at WWE Survivor Series. Since then, both men have been determined to win the title back.
On Monday night, Rollins and Lashley headlined the show, as the two former WWE Champions competed for a shot at Theory's title. In the closing minutes, Lashley hit Rollins with a Spear, but the referee had been knocked down, so he was unable to count the pin. Rollins then countered a second Spear into a Pedigree to score the victory and clinch a future title match against Theory.
