Page 4 - WWE RAW: 5 Things you need to know before the season premiere - a new champion, dream match set-up for Survivor Series?

#2 The fate of the Universal Championship before Hell in a Cell

Last week on RAW, we witnessed Rey Mysterio win a Fatal Five-Way Match to earn the opportunity to challenge Universal Champion, Seth Rollins on this week's season premiere. With this win, the 'Master of the 619' proved to the world, and moreover himself, that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.

Many fans were confused to see WWE stage this match a mere 6 days before the Hell in a Cell PPV, where the Universal Champion is set to take on the creature that has scared the life out of him over the past few weeks.

While this might just be a warm-up match before the big fight, and a chance for Rollins to gain some momentum before this Sunday, a match between he and Rey Mysterio has five stars written all over it. We can all agree that there's close to zero chance of Mysterio walking out as the new Universal Champion, but that doesn't mean the match and the segment won't be must-see television.

Will Rollins be able to concentrate on his opponent with the constant threat of The Fiend on his mind? Moreover, would Bray Wyatt make his presence felt during or after this match?
