RAW last night was unique. The first two-hours of the show featured a Gaunlet Match between the 7 members of this Sunday’s RAW Elimination Chamber Match.
The historic side note of the match was the fact that Seth Rollins spent around 1 hour and 5 minutes total in a single match. This is the longest amount of time any Superstar has spent in a match during RAW’s 25+ year history.
Rollins defeated Roman Reigns and then John Cena before Elias pinned the exhausted Rollins. Braun Strowman eventually won the match.
Fellow WWE Superstars have been commenting on Twitter following the magnificant performance by Rollins.
What an absolutely MAGNIFICENT effort by @WWERollins in the #RAW #GauntletMatch.
'Twas a WARRIOR-LIKE performance, defeating both members of the @WWE's POLARIZING PAIR.
