This week's RAW established nothing substantial going into the Clash Of Champions. We expected a complex storyline between Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship but that didn't happen.
Instead, Strowman literally just asked Rollins for a shot at the Universal Title and the Architect being a face accepted it straight away.
Furthermore, on the show this week, Strowman said that he could leave Clash Of Champions with three titles hanging around his waist as he was going to face AJ Styles that night. The Phenomenal One, with some underhand tactics, walked away with the title in his hands.
This could also mean that the Monster Among Men may be challenging Styles for the United States Championship in the next few weeks or at Clash Of Champions.
The above scenario means that Strowman could wrestle thrice at Clash Of Champions and that makes the scenario highly improbable.
So, another thing that could possibly happen is that a triple threat match for both, the United States Championship and the Universal Championship involving Styles, Strowman and Rollins taking place at the PPV.
Nevertheless we are going to take a look at two reasons why Strowman should win the Universal Championship and two reasons why he shouldn't:
#4 Should Win - Strowman cannot suffer another setback
Since his debut as a Wyatt Family member, Braun Strowman has had a rocky WWE career till now. At one point, he was one of the hottest Superstars in the company. He was slated to face and beat the then Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar. But that didn't really happen and he suffered a steady decline.
Maybe it was down to too much screen time as seen with Shane McMahon. Presently, the Monster Among Men has momentum on his side and if he suffers another setback, it wouldn't be good for his character and confidence.
If he really is a monster, WWE should book him like one. He is the natural heir to someone like a Goldberg or a Brock Lesnar and that should be recognized by WWE. A Universal Championship win could do a world of good for the Monster Among Men.
#3 Shouldn't Win - Monday Night Rollins is still very hot with the WWE Universe
The thing is, Seth Rollins has just beat Brock Lesnar again and WWE wouldn't have wanted The Beastslayer to do that just for him to lose his Universal Championship next month to Braun Strowman.
Rollins is the undisputed face of the company and he is still very hot with the WWE Universe. Making him lose the Universal Championship at the Clash Of Champions wouldn't be best for business.
There will be a time when the Architect will go cold with the WWE Universe as the Universal Champion but that time hasn't come yet.
Besides, Rollins' title reign has been absolutely brilliant and in no way, it has been underwhelming.
#2 Should Win - For the unpredictability
Most of the WWE Universe expect Rollins to retain his Universal Championship against Braun Strowman and that is the very reason why Vince McMahon might be pondering the possibility of a Strowman win.
The unpredictably is what keeps people glued to their TV screens and WWE always tries to do what keeps the fans intrigued. Strowman has lost many championship matches over the last year or so and most of the WWE Universe would be expecting him to lose again.
The Monster Among Men winning the Universal Championship at Clash Of Champions will not only provide a sense of shock to the WWE Universe, but it would also make them tune in for the subsequent RAW. For that reason, making Strowman the Universal Champion seems best for business.
#1 Shouldn't Win - Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles
Yes, the biggest reason why Strowman shouldn't win the Universal Championship is for a Seth Rollins vs AJ Styles program.
Ever since the Phenomenal One moved from SmackDown Live to RAW, this has been the feud that everyone in the WWE Universe wants to see.
We saw a feud between them and they had a match at Money In The Bank. The feud was ended prematurely as Styles suffered an untimely injury. But now, all the factors are perfect for a feud between these two brilliant wrestlers.
Styles is now the premier heel on the Red Brand and that makes him a perfect opponent for the biggest face of the company. We have seen some hints from the WWE, pointing towards this feud.
Presently, Styles is heavily involved in the storyline between Strowman and Rollins, and it seems like the Phenomenal One doesn't have a new challenger for his United States Championship at Clash Of Champions.
Maybe WWE is trying to put Styles in the Universal Championship picture by using Strowman. Whatever the case may be, if we get a second match between Styles and Rollins, it would be a barburner like their first one.
