Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. It's time for this week's RAW recap.
- RAW took place this week in jolly old Manchester, England. The week begins with no WWE World Heavyweight Champion, as Seth Rollins was forced to vacate with an ACL/MCL injury to his leg. WWE announced a tournament to be held at the upcoming Survivor Series, to crown a new champion. Who will be included? Also, with the Seth Rollins injury, WWE sent out an "all hands on deck" call, as WWE is scrambling to get things back on track for Survivor Series. Will we see any surprises or special guests tonight?

Triple H next calls out the #1 Contender, Roman Reigns. Triple H says it's unfair that Reigns has to get back in line for a shot at the title. Triple H, however, offers Reigns a spot in The Authority, be handed the WWE World Title and let everyone else battle in the tournament to decide a new #1 Contender.
Triple H clarifies that Reigns was their original choice and not Seth Rollins. Triple H places the WWE World Title on Reigns' shoulder, trying to sway his decision.
