Predicting The First 10 WWE Universal Champions
9. Seth Rollins
Unfortunately for Finn Balor, his first reign as a world champion won't last very long. It'll also be marked by a feud with the man he defeated to win the belt in the first place, Seth Rollins.
Rollins and Balor will face each other in a rematch at Clash of Champions in September, and once again, "The Demon" will confound "The Architect," pulling out a victory en route to retaining his title. Rollins will earn one more title shot on Raw, though, setting him up for a third match with Balor... at Hell in a Cell.
WWE's best in-ring feud of 2016 will come to an end in the steel structure, and Balor and Rollins will pull out all the stops in their final encounter. Rollins will throw the Universal Champion all around the cage, getting body paint everywhere, but Balor will fight back, climbing the inside of the cage and diving off onto his opponent.
Finally, Rollins will avoid a Coup de Grace, snatch Balor up, and drop him with a Pedigree. That'll be enough to give "The Architect" the win, as well as his very first Universal Championship.
