As eye-opening as Michael Cole's stat was, it was all for nothing when Kevin Owens successfully defended the WWE Universal Title. Locked inside Hell In A Cell, Seth Rollins couldn't do what he had done on Monday Night Raw. Namely, Rollins couldn't overcome both KO and Chris Jericho at the same time.

Surely, Rollins is heading for a showdown with Triple H at some point in the near future. The match itself is likely to be saved for WrestleMania 33, although that doesn't mean the pair can't confront one another on episodes of Raw in the near future.

Such a feud has little need for the WWE Universal Title, that belt has much more value around the waist of Kevin Owens. Coming out of Raw's latest supershow slice, Owens is still champion. That was a good decision, few can deny that KO is deserving of a lengthy stint with a top title in WWE right now.

Time will only tell Owens next chief rival. Whomever it is, they'll be looking to wrestle Raw's most important male singles title from the Canadian.
