7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Sept 5)

By Scott Carlson / September 6, 2016

4. Reigns Has A Claim

Again, kudos to the WWE writers for taking a mic out of Roman Reigns’ hands and letting his fists (and shoulder) do the talking.

Reigns has just as much of a gripe about the Universal Championship match as Seth Rollins does, except for the fact that Rollins was down to the final two. Still, Reigns had a legit beef and was within his rights to demand to be added to the Clash of Champions title match. Instead, he’ll tangle with Kevin Owens next week to be added to the match.

That gives us a main event already, one that carries some serious stakes for Owens. And Roman didn’t have to grab a mic and try to tell a joke or act cool to get his point across. Showing up and staring down KO was enough.
