#2 WWE realized their misfire with the Fiend

When WWE decided to book the referee stoppage finish at Hell in a Cell, everybody knew it was a mistake. If they were going to have "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt challenge for the Universal Championship, how could he not win? The company appeared to be muddying the waters even further by booking a Falls Count Anywhere match at Crown Jewel. Fans were dreading the worst and luckily, on this occasion, we got a satisfying finish. WWE realized the very poorly-received misfire they made with Wyatt and went above and beyond to rectify it.

Aside from the 24/7 Championship scene earlier on the show, the Fiend's victory over Seth Rollins was the first time a championship changed hands on a Saudi Arabia show, not counting matches for vacant titles.

The moment also felt really grand, with the dominant monster standing tall at the end of an eventful show. It was a great moment, a moment where WWE genuinely admitted their poor judgement. Bray Wyatt is back on top of the WWE's momentum train and he has the Universal Championship with him as well. They will have to figure out what happens next as this leaves RAW without a world champion for the time being but for now, putting the belt on "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt was a great idea.
