🔴 Seth Rollins debuts The Sermon of a Visionary: 14min*

After last week's main event that saw Seth Rollins win a match against Kevin Owens and Shinsuke Nakamura where the winner faces Lashley at the coming Rumble event, Seth Rollins is here to address the world!

Seth Rollins kicked off the show with the inaugural "Sermon of a Visionary" where he recalled winning last week's three-way in spite of Lashley's interference, which to Rollins indicated there is a higher force that protects his destiny and the "vision" he had several weeks ago, he went on to say that his destiny is unstoppable and nothing can change it!

It's these words that Bobby Lashley disagrees with, at least that's what MVP told us when he interrupted Rollins' sermon. MVP revealed that in two weeks Seth Rollins' body will be broken and his vision will be blurred for the rest of his career!

Classic Seth Rollins laughs at MVP's claims.

🔻 BACKSTAGE: Mustafa Ali believes in Seth Rollins' vision.

Despite their history, Mustafa Ali says in an interview that he believes in what Seth Rollins saw in his vision, because Ali himself believes there's a higher force that controls the past, future, and present. That's why when he woke up today he just felt this urge to fight the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley tonight because a win for him tonight will somehow help Rollins at the upcoming Royal Rumble event!

Before she could finish her rant, a returning Naomi interrupts slaps the Raw Women's Champion and challenges her to a match next!

🔻 BACKSTAGE: MVP and Bobby Lashley accept Mustafa Ali's challenge.
