10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Sept 19)
9. Roman Reigns Announced As WWE United States Title Challenger
After that short-but-sweet segment behind the scenes, Mick Foley's music hits and the General Manager immediately makes his way to the ring. Once again reminding Stephanie McMahon that she entrusted him to make the big decisions, Mick says he chose to come out in front of everyone on his own to announce a new match for Clash Of Champions.
Due to Rusev's attack on Roman Reigns last week, Foley can think of no better way to settle things than by booking that very match for the pay-per-view. At the same time, the GM knows that Roman did ambush Rusev at SummerSlam, so he believes both men need to fight it out properly.
Therefore, Rusev vs. Reigns for the WWE United States Title at Clash Of Champions will be a No Disqualification Match. No holds are barred for this one, and there must be a winner. In the midst of his speech, Foley then reminds everyone that the excitement of the Cruiserweight division is coming to Monday Night Raw, and that high-flying action is up next.
