World Heavyweight Champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (Last Man Standing Match)

Published Sep. 25, 2023 9:21 p.m. ET

At WWE Fastlane, Shinsuke Nakamura will have his greatest opportunity to become World Heavyweight Champion as he faces Seth “Freakin” Rollins in a Last Man Standing Match. Rollins has been enjoying a successful reign as the first World Heavyweight Champion, but he has become increasingly unhinged ever since Nakamura revealed that he knows about Rollins’ back. The 2018 Royal Rumble winner has played mind games with his adversary ever since blindsiding him after their team defeated The Judgment Day in a Six-Man Tag Team Match on Raw a few months ago. Despite losing at WWE Payback, Nakamura was not finished with The Visionary, attacking him the next night on Raw. Rollins demanded to again face Nakamura, but Nakamura acted coy, playing with Rollins’ emotions and goading him into making the match type of his choosing. With this power in his hands, Nakamura selected one of WWE’s must brutal match types: the Last Man Standing Match. With Rollins’ injured back surely to play a factor, is Nakamura heading into this contest the favorite to leave as champion? Don’t miss WWE Fastlane on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 8 ET/5 PT, streaming LIVE on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
