New WWE Universal Champion to be decided in Fatal 4-Way Match

Source: WWE.com

One week after Finn Bálor was forced to relinquish the WWE Universal Championship due to a shoulder injury at the hands of Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, The Architect will clash with Roman Reigns, Big Cass and Kevin Owens in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the vacant title on Raw. Who will leave Raw with Team Red’s flagship title?

In the biggest Raw main event of the New Era, Roman Reigns, Big Cass, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens will battle it out for the WWE Universal Championship, which was vacated by the injured Finn Bálor this past Monday night. Although analysts might give an edge to Reigns or Rollins, both of whom have held the WWE World Championship in the past, you can’t discount Big Cass, who has more than proven he can hang in Team Red’s main event scene in recent weeks. As for Owens, we have to imagine that his pal Chris Jericho will “have his back” during this bout. After all, Jericho is “The Best in the World at What He Does,” and that includes bending the rules.

Regardless, there will be a new WWE Universal Champion Monday night, and you won’t want to miss any of the action in this explosive four-man melee.

After failing to diagnose any new cases of “ringpostitis” last week, “Doctors” Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson accepted new patients last week in The Dudley Boyz, spoiling the iconic tag team’s farewell address to the WWE Universe with a disrespectful attack that culminated in D-Von Dudley being driven through a table.

As much as it might have been an opportunity to spoil a feel-good moment — Gallows & Anderson are known to do that — it was also a poignant statement to the entire Team Red locker room that no one is safe. Will another tandem suffer the same fate as The Dudley Boyz this Monday night?


Wacky, waving, inflatable, arm-flailing tube men in tow, Bayley made her official debut on Raw and, after sharing a hug with Raw General Manager Mick Foley, she earned a decisive victory over Dana Brooke as new WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte looked on.

Even though they share a bond as two members of “The Four Horsewomen,” Charlotte has made it abundantly clear that any past affiliations are null and void when it comes to Team Red and championship gold. Is a title match in the cards for these friends-turned-rivals?

From James Ellsworth to Johnny Knockout, local competitors have been lining up to face Braun Strowman in recent weeks, and the conclusion of each bout appears to be more painful than the last. As Strowman looks to continue his impressive winning streak, another journeyman grappler will likely stand across the ring from the juggernaut this Monday night. Will this hopeful grappler find success where others have failed, or will he be mangled like the rest?

Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET on all of WWE’s digital platforms!

uhhh I don't see WWE taking a chance on KO just yet. No way Cass wins, he's in this match to foreshadow a future main event run. Reigns will undoubtedly continue feuding with Rusev then later down the line have his 4th world championship reign begin at a PPV. Safe bet is on Rollins becoming the Universal Champion.

Rusev attacks Roman causing someone else to win the title. Someone not 7 foot tall, I hope. This sets up Roman v. Rusev in a stip match at CoC. Bayley v. Charlotte is gonna happen at CoC I just don't know how they are gonna build towards it and where does Nia fit in? No fat jokes please. :)

If you look at that Fatal 4 Way image, you'll realize that this match is basically the Battle of the Beards.

Fingers crossed this is the start of the KO era!
Oh, not only that, but it would also mark the official start of the Kevin Owens Show :D

I'm only gonna watch to see if Owens wins. If he doesn't I'm gonna stick with SDL as the only WWE product I watch every week, because honestly the rest of this 3 hour show is no where good enough to suffer through to me.

I’m hoping for a KO win. Reigns and Rollins are just spinning their wheels in their respective characters and both need to turn. And Cass is just there to give him some main event exposure and add some unpredictability to the match.

I love Bayley, but I wish she wouldn’t be going for the title so soon.

Man, Finn’s and Sasha’s injuries really screwed things up for them.

Unfortunately like the gif above stated if the E refuses to turn BOTH guys well then were back to FUCKING square one. Much like the kid in the gif Vince is determined to get a square peg in a round hole when it comes to #REGINS-A-MANIA and like the kid above when the is NO logic well get ready for the #WWELogic as he just puts Roman over or Rollins as a heel champion when the audience is SCREAMING for a face.

Re: 8/28 Raw Thread: Vacant Just Won't Do...The WWE Universe WILL Have A Champion

I'm looking forward to Raw - they can't continuously let Smackdown whoop their ass every single week for entertainment value. It's quite amazing really that Raw is seen as the 'A' show, the flagship show, yet Smackdown and even NXT are more entertaining. Unreal.

- Kevin Owens in a world title match is good enough for me to watch this show, I really hope they pull the trigger and have him win. Cass for me seems to be in the match to eat the pin. I think Rusev will be distracting Reigns, no idea what happens with Rollins during the moment of the pin, unless Rollins hits his finisher on Cass, Jericho pulls him out the ring and Owens pins Cass' lifeless body. Just let Owens win the damn match.

- Finally starting to build The Club? Only a few months too late but hopefully it's a start. We all know how talented they are, let's hope they begin to build them as the next tag team champions because The New Day are getting beyond stale and it'll be good to see some fresh champions on Raw.

- Another thing I'm interested in is Bayley. We know what she's like on NXT but Raw is a whole different kettle of fish. She'll get shorter matches on the main roster and a lot more mic time so let's hope she's more than capable. We've seen the likes of Paige and even to a certain extent Sasha Banks come up from successful NXT runs and not quite translate as well on the main show when it comes to building feuds/ring work.

- Can we not make Rusev look like a geek this week? Have him dominate a match against someone he hasn't wrestled before, so we have a fresh match up and have him ABSOLUTELY destroy Reigns at the end to pretty much wipe him out of the match, steel chairs to the back, put him through the announce table, everything to make this feud much more heated. Reigns has got the upper hand on Rusev the past three or four weeks ffs.



Must admit, that's all I pretty much care about. I do like seeing Braun Strowman destroy jobbers, something rather satisfying about it. Other then that? Meh. Give Owens the win, that's all I ask - I'd absolutely LOVE the two big title feuds on each show being Owens/Jericho and Ambrose/Styles - two fresh feuds between four talented men who will build the feuds well with their mic work.

Please give KO the title its the only chance you have of beating SmackDown at this stage.

Easy to predict title match. Reigns spears Owens, Rusev from behind pulls Roman out of the ring, Rollins picks up the scraps for the win.

@Clique I believe 8/28 is a Sunday so you might want to fix that but back to the topic at hand. I can only see them putting the title on Rollins and Reigns ATM but Reigns hasn't really finished his fued with Rusev, so I'm leaning towards Rollins, but in the WWE anything can happen.

Re: 8/28 Raw Thread: Vacant Just Won't Do...The WWE Universe WILL Have A Champion

seth is winning, rusev and roman's feud is not done and neither cass and enzo vs y2ko is another feud going on. so seth is winning this, i'm calling it right now.
 
#23 ·
I don't see them putting the title on KO right now.

It'll be Seth or Roman, more likely Seth. Who will he feud with though?
 
#27 ·
KO needs to win this one. Reigns winning would be going backwards, and would prove that WWE have learned nothing. Rollins has been there and done that, we need something fresh, and Cass is a total no go.
 
#28 · (Edited)
I can see it now. Rusev runs in during the main event and gets a superman punch/spear. Roman spears everyone else and wins before spearing the ref as he presents the belt. Then he'll run into the crowd and spear people there. God only knows who he or Seth will feud with upon winning.

Charlotte is dropping the title very soon I have no doubt. She's keeping it warm for Sasha who might finally turn heel after getting it back to set up a feud with Bayley. They'll start building to a PPV match tonight for Char/Bayley anyway.
