Tom Colohue stated on his SK's Dropkick DiSKcussions that he believes there is a strong chance that there will be a brand change between the Universal and WWE Champions. With rumors suggesting that SmackDown star Roman Reigns is set to hold the Universal Championship for a long time, it is possible that we may see The Big Dog leave SmackDown and return to Monday Night RAW.

Colohue also stated that Roman Reigns will likely not have a match inside Hell in a Cell this year. The plan is for The Fiend to have a long-term feud with Roman Reigns but the two might not clash at HIAC this year.

"The plan at the moment is to have a long Championship reign - Brock Lesnar style - with a few more Championship defences. He will be defending the title at Clash of Champions, likely against The Fiend. And after that, The Fiend becomes the long-term goal. The Fiend becomes the chaser. He's not going to be feuding with anyone inside the Hell in a Cell, that will be going to someone else. I strongly suspect that we're going to see a brand change between the WWE and Universal Championships."
