Last week on WWE NXT, an enraged Bron Breakker called out Seth Rollins. He challenged The Visionary for a match having that incandescent World Heavyweight Title on the line. This came out the blue as no one saw it coming. Expecting an answer from Rollins, the Powerhouse of NXT would’ve been glued to Raw last night. However, apart from a Finn Balor confrontation and Wichita’s crowd hijack, there was no mention of Breakker’s challenge.
But, that doesn’t mean Seth wasn’t aware of who wants a piece of him. He traveled to NXT this week and interrupted Breakker’s promo, much to everyone’s absolute delight. The Architect informed Bron that things don’t work so casually around here. However, impressed by the NXT superstar’s aggressive approach, Rollins accepted the challenge.
And it’s official that Seth Rollins defends his World Heavyweight Title against Bron Breakker next week on NXT: Gold Rush. The card is already shaping up to be the one for the ages. Also, that marks the first occasion a World Heavyweight Championship will be defended live on NXT. Irrespective of whoever emerges victorious, history is bound to be written. You can watch a snippet of their segment from NXT below.
Seth Rollins is truly living up to his promise

Moreover, he promised his fans a World Champion that actually cares for them and wants to defend that against anyone on the roster. As a result, he has extended yet another open challenge for the title next week on Raw.
For the unversed, Raw emanates from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio next week. This happens to be the hometown of Johnny Gargano. Interestingly, after this week’s conclusion of Raw, Johnny Wrestling tweeted out that there’s nothing like home, eyeball emoji attached.
Without any hiccups, he’s teasing something huge for next week. Taking a step further, it won’t be shocking if he ends up accepting Seth Rollins’ open challenge. That would make a serious match of the year contender on Monday Night Raw itself. Remains to be seen if Triple H puts his former NXT trump card against Rollins or not.
