10 Last-Minute WWE Clash Of Champions 2016 Rumors You Need To Know
4. Kevin Owens Loses The Universal Title
Kevin Owen’s Universal Title victory provided a night of mixed emotions. On one hand, it was great to see KO’s years of hard work grinding through the wrestling business pay-off with a major title, but Triple H’s involvement soured the deal. Furthermore, KO took a loss to Roman Reigns on this week’s Raw, and hasn’t done a thing to shake the idea that he’s only champion because Triple H chose to turn on Seth Rollins.
He’s in a tricky spot at the moment, and while a comprehensive victory would help him greatly this week, that looks increasingly unlikely to happen. In fact, with Raw’s ratings hitting a crushing low for two consecutive weeks, WWE are allegedly set to end the Kevin Owens championship experiment by putting the belt back around a known commodity’s waist: Seth Rollins.
This would suggest no involvement from Triple H, unless the whole angle has been a giant ruse, and he and Seth are secretly still aligned. Regardless of the circumstances, Owens losing the belt just a couple of weeks after winning it would be a bitter blow not just to his own credibility, but also to a belt that’s still to build its reputation. The Universal Title has been thrown around like a hot potato thus far, and it’s hard to see what this move would accomplish.
