Seth Rollins is the Universal Champion, but he was the man who was pinned so that he and Braun Strowman lost their Raw Tag Team Championships. Rollins was pinned by Robert Roode, who hasn't been able to win a match on WWE TV in months and has instead been stuck in the 24/7 Championship picture alongside a number of other jobbers.

WWE once again booked themselves into a corner with this match since Rollins needed to look strong and go on to retain his Championship against Braun, but Strowman also needed to still look strong since he was the challenger looking to take on The Beast Slayer and come out on top.

Neither man could really afford to be pinned, but in any other context, this would mean that Roode should be handed a Universal Championship match since he did pin the Champion. Even though it was Braun's fault and it was in a tag team match, it still counts and is the entire reason why Cedric Alexander was given a shot at AJ Styles and the United States Championship last night at Clash of Champions.
