SummerSlam's WWE Universal Title bout promises to be excellent from an in-ring standpoint, and it's imperative that the promotion refrain from crudely inserting Roman Reigns into the situation proper. He can be involved in the build, due to his issues with Rollins, but it makes little sense to dilute things by placing him in the actual match.

Once Roman had hit that Spear on Seth, Finn Balor makes his entrance. Staying on the ramp but walking slowly down towards the ring, the Irishman says he doesn't understand why Reigns has got to try and make this all about him.

For someone who seemingly doesn't care what people think, he's very hung up on Seth Rollins. Keeping things friendly at first, Balor eventually enters the ring, moves closer and closer to Roman, then simply warns him to stay away from the new title situation.

In Finn's mind, if Reigns injures Rollins before SummerSlam, all his preparation for the match will be squandered. Over the next few weeks, WWE can continue to show Balor as someone who is not to be trifled with, whilst presenting Roman as more of a heel.
