WWE superstars Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura have been at loggerheads for quite some time now. This rivalry has escalated in the subsequent episodes of Monday Night Raw. This week on the red brand, The Visionary accepted Nakamura’s challenge for a Last Man Standing match at Fastlane.

They have been feuding over the World Heavyweight Championship for over a month now. The bout between the two started when Shinsuke delivered a Kinshasa to Rollins while he was celebrating their tag team victory. Following this, they clashed at Payback, where The Visionary retained but suffered a vicious attack from the challenger right after the match.

Seth Rollins has been looking for vengeance and has been constantly calling out the King of Strong Style for a rematch. However, the latter decided to play games with the Champion. Shinsuke Nakamura went on to make Rollins impatient and drove him to his edge without answering.

This week on RAW, The Visionary asked Shinsuke Nakamura one last time to answer his challenge for a championship match. This led to the former Intercontinental Champion issuing a challenge for a “Last Man Standing” match at Fastlane. Nakamura vowed to crumble Rollins into dust. Following the episode of RAW, the champion broke his silence on X.

Seth Rollins took to X to say, “First ever LMS. Gonna scorch the earth“. He also attached the clip of his reply to Shinsuke Nakamura on RAW, where he told Nakamura,“You got it right Shinsuke, only one of us is walking out of there but it ain’t gonna be you.”
