The ending of RAW saw The Authority reunite as Kane and Joey Mercury helped the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion take out Brock Lesnar with a vicious attack heading into their big clash at Battleground on July 19 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
Rollins spoke with Tom Philips on RAW Fallout after the show went off the air and he bragged about what he did while saying he's not afraid of his encounter with "The Beast."

"Easy, the band's back together Tom," Rollins said. "I've been telling everybody all night long, when we're together, we're unstoppable. And you know what else I've been telling everybody all night long? I am not afraid of Brock Lesnar. I am gonna beat Brock Lesnar so bad at Battleground, I'm gonna make the beating I laid on him at WrestleMania look obsolete by comparison. Tonight was only a sample of that. We are back together, better than ever, The Authority reigns supreme baby!"
While The Authority is stronger than ever in storyline, the night didn't come without its casualties as there are reports that Jamie Noble broke three ribs when Lesnar threw him into the barrier Monday night, though it's uncertain if it's a real ailment or not.
Noble took to Twitter to share an update on his injuries:
I would like to thank WWE staff and all the fans for nice messages. I have 3 broke ribs. Couldn't breathe at first.

The struggle between Lesnar and Rollins started when The Architect interrupted The Beast's main event match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 31 in March.
Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to make it a Triple Threat Match and pinned Reigns to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his career.
Shortly after ending The Streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX, Lesnar defeated John Cena at SummerSlam to win the gold and he held it all the way until WrestleMania 31 before losing it without getting pinned.
Lesnar's storyline rampage the following night led to a suspension angle to get him off of television, but he returned last week and the match was announced for Battleground.
The WWE also revealed Monday that Ryback will put his Intercontinental Championship on the line against The Miz and The Big Show at Battleground while John Cena's United States Championship will hang in the balance against Kevin Owens and The Prime Time Players will put their Tag Team Championships up for grabs against The New Day.
These three matches have been added to the card for July 19, which also includes Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt.
Here is the updated card for WWE Battleground:
