RAW Preview: Huge surprise in Fatal-5-Way match, Trilogy match to be set up for Hell in a Cell? (September 23rd, 2019)

#2. Fatal-5-Way to determine #1 contender for the Universal Championship

The star-studded main event of this week's RAW will see United States Champion AJ Styles take on Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and RAW Tag Team Champion Robert Roode along with Ricochet and the legendary Rey Mysterio.

The match is to determine the #1 contender for the Universal Championship. The Universal title match, on the other hand, will happen next week. This is what makes things interesting. Why put Rollins in a Universal title match just 6 days before his Hell in a Cell match - one of the toughest matches of his entire career?

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

It's going to be interesting to see who steps up to the plate, but in our estimation, it won't be anyone. The Fiend Bray Wyatt not only has his eyes on the Universal Championship but also on Seth Rollins himself.

To protect the main event at all costs, The Fiend may interrupt and take out the members of the match, essentially rendering it a no contest and ensuring no other contender for Rollins. This would be a huge twist, with Wyatt wanting to protect his Hell in a Cell match as much as he possibly can.
