Seth Rollins and Edge took brutality to the next level
Seth Rollins managed to knock down Edge with a boot to the face from the top rope. Next, he tried to jump through the ropes to take him down further but Edge shoved him to the steel cage and held his face against it. The Drip God cried out in pain, but The Rated-R Superstar wouldn’t stop. So, what does he do next? He takes out the steel chairs!
Before using the chairs, Edge attempted the first pin, but Rollins kicked out. To ensure Rollins remains put down, Edge broke the chair and tried to put Rollins in his infamous hold, but The Drip God retaliated and tried to take out Edge’s eye with the rod. Brutal, isn’t it?
After squaring off ringside for a while, Rollins found himself in the corner again and a spear from Edge hurt him, but not enough. The Drip God turned the tables when he punished Edge with the steel chair, smashing Edge with it multiple times.
But, Edge did not stay down. He put Rollins in the cross face hold, but it backfired. Rollins managed to grab the broken piece of rod, and hit Edge’s eye with it. It was getting brutal.. unimaginable brutal.

As if this wasn’t enough, Seth Rollins introduced the table to the match. Unfortunately, it was The Visionary who went through it when the Hall of Famer pushed him off the top rope through the table.

So, Edge used another weapon at his disposal, the steel steps. The Rated-R Superstar pulled Rollins on the steps, and executed the Edge O-Matic. Next, he claimed the top rope and jumped on Rollins with a steel chair, and went for a pin but Rollins kicked out!!
