History of Rollins vs Reed rivalry
The history between Rollins and Reed is filled with tension. In the weeks leading up to this match, Reed had been on a rampage, taking out opponents left and right. His most notable victim was Rollins, who, right after SummerSlam, found himself ambushed by Reed, suffering six consecutive Tsunamis that sidelined him for seven weeks.
Since then, Rollins has been absent from WWE programming, making appearances at NFL events instead. But Reed's challenge to him before the match with Braun made it clear that he wasn't finished.
Reed declared that his initial assault was just a preview, threatening to leave Rollins out of action for an entire year next time. This prompted Rollins to return and address the challenge personally, costing Reed the match against Strowman.
