Scanning the Clash Of Champions card, it does seem very likely that Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins will be chosen to headline the pay-per-view. After all, the WWE Universal Title has been painted as Raw's version of the WWE World Heavyweight Title visible on SmackDown Live. Therefore, it makes sense to suggest it'll close out the show.

What if WWE fancy throwing a curveball at fans though, actually writing another match to go on last. Something like Roman Reigns vs. Rusev would appear to be the most feasible, but that would instantly hurt the value of the fresher championship on the brand.

Clash Of Champions is all about the ladder of success, climbing each rung towards the richest prize. That's the Universal Title on Raw, meaning Rollins vs. Owens is the perfect match to put in the headline slot. Besides, WWE are doing such a wonderful job slowly turning Seth, so it's not like this main event threatens to be heel vs. heel.

Former World Champions (like KO's buddy Chris Jericho) have suffered the indignity of being placed in the mid-card when champ. That cannot happen to Kevin Owens.
