The Universal Champion had a lot on his plate during Clash of Champions

#5. Seth Rollins vs. The Fiend

Seth Rollins is the right man for The Fiend to challenge

The main event of the night saw Seth Rollins defend his Universal Champion against his former RAW Tag Team Championship partner Braun Strowman.

Throughout the match, WWE built Strowman as the right man to challenge for the championship, as he proved to be as strong as any other opponent Rollins has taken on for the title to date.

Strowman kicked out of multiple finishers and gave Rollins a run for his money before falling to a Pedigree from the Champion, followed by a stomp.

As Rollins celebrated his win, The Fiend appeared to stay true to his challenge and dropped Rollins with a Sister Abigail on the stage. He followed with the mandible claw.

This was the perfect way to end a night where almost all WWE main roster championships were defended. The Fiend has emerged as the biggest threat to the superstars this year.

What makes things even better is the fact that Wyatt will take on an established champion for the title, making his potential victory even more valuable. Had Strowman won the title, his match against The Fiend may not have benefited either man in the weeks to come.
