It appears that, as expected, Seth Rollins will challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 35.
The Royal Rumble winner came out at the start of the show and declared that he was unsure who he would face at the big show, which brought out WWE COO Triple H.
After putting over his former Authority ally, Triple H told Rollins that he needed to pick his opponent by the end of the night. I guess he was in a rush to get the marketing materials made up or something . . .

In the closing segment, Rollins confronted Universal Champion Brock Lesnar (WWE Champion Daniel Bryan was also at the show but was not involved), taking multiple F5s from the champion but coming back for more.
The idea was that Lesnar made Rollins’ decision for him, and although Rollins never specifically stated that he wanted Brock at WrestleMania it was very clear from the angle that this is the direction WWE intends to go.
