2: Finn Balor def. Seth Rollins (for the WWE Universal Championship)

First things first, the WWE Universal Championship looks like someone put the WWE Championship on Shinsuke Nakamura’s pants.

The match between Balor and Rollins was fantastic and really should have been the main event. Both wrestlers brought their A-game and these two are the right choice’s to be Raw’s faces in the New Era. Finn Balor won the match clean, which was a slight surprise and a major sign of the WWE putting their faith in Balor.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

This match included some absolutely awesome spots from Rollins powerbombing Finn Balor onto the divider at ringside to Balor’s penalty kick on the apron (which Michael Cole shockingly called a knee to the face). This match also had the crowd on fire for most of it, excluding the time the were busy chanting “that belt sucks” and showing their disapproval at the design of the new WWE Universal Championship.
