#3 Allowed Erick Rowan another decent high-profile match
WWE carried on an interesting angle this week, as Universal Champion Seth Rollins took on Erick Rowan in a Last Man Standing Match. It’s important to note that Rowan is fresh off a feud with Rollins’ former partner Roman Reigns, while Rollins is set to take on Rowan’s former family member Bray Wyatt at Crown Jewel.

The action was decent and gave fans a taste of what to expect at Crown Jewel from a more focused and aggressive Seth Rollins. Putting him up against a bigger man helped sell his attacks even more and Rowan’s kick-out after a Stomp helped build him as a future threat to the RAW division.
Giving Rowan a match against the Universal Champion helped keep him strong at a time when he was looking to continue the momentum he earned from his rivalry with Roman Reigns. Rowan doesn't have a match at Crown Jewel, but WWE will certainly be looking at potential future feuds for the big man.
Rollins needing the help of a forklift to pin the big man only added to Rowan’s value as a legitimate future threat to the Universal Champion. It also gave Rollins some memorable spots heading into this Sunday's bout against The Fiend at Crown Jewel.
