Their first match was at WrestleMania 31, where Seth Rollins interfered and pinned Roman to win the championship. Then the duo met in another triple threat match, involving Dean Ambrose this time.
While Roman would win this bout, The Beast would not forget this defeat. As he later defeated Roman along with Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman in a fatal four-match for the WWE Championship.
