Brock Lesnar might be a rare presence on RAW these days but WWE still has a Universal Title match to build towards. So, on Monday, during an exchange with Paul Heyman, the Royal Rumble winner was attacked by Shelton Benjamin.

Benjamin blindsided Rollins and hit him with a few suplexes. After a commercial break, the two competitors found themselves in a match. As a skilled technical wrestler, Benjamin tested Rollins but the Royal Rumble winner emerged victorious after the Curb Stomp.
Benjamin used to be Lesnar’s partner in the Minnesota Stretching Crew during their OVW days. He also coached Lesnar at the University of Minnesota. With Benjamin’s actions on Monday, it seems that he, too, is now a Paul Heyman Guy.
