On tonight’s edition of “Monday Night Raw,” Roman Reigns defied all odds and defeated Sheamus to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Vince McMahon came out earlier in the evening and granted Reigns a title match against Sheamus, with the stipulation being that if Reigns loses he was fired from WWE. McMahon was clearly upset that Reigns unleashed a fury against Triple H last night at “TLC.”
In the main event, McMahon was at ringside and did everything that he could to prevent Reigns from winning the title, including pulling the referee out of the ring while he was administering a three count. The League of Nations also attempted to interfere in the match, but Reigns was able to overcome all of them, and pin Sheamus after a spear, to become the new champion.
This marks Reigns’ second official reign as champion, with his first one lasting 5:15 after Sheamus cashed in his “Money In The Bank” contract at “Survivor Series” earlier this year.
