One week after Finn Bálor was forced to relinquish the WWE Universal Championship due to a shoulder injury at the hands of Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, The Architect will clash with Roman Reigns, Big Cass and Kevin Owens in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the vacant title on Raw. Who will leave Raw with Team Red’s flagship title?

In the biggest Raw main event of the New Era, Roman Reigns, Big Cass, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens will battle it out for the WWE Universal Championship, which was vacated by the injured Finn Bálor this past Monday night. Although analysts might give an edge to Reigns or Rollins, both of whom have held the WWE World Championship in the past, you can’t discount Big Cass, who has more than proven he can hang in Team Red’s main event scene in recent weeks. As for Owens, we have to imagine that his pal Chris Jericho will “have his back” during this bout. After all, Jericho is “The Best in the World at What He Does,” and that includes bending the rules.

Regardless, there will be a new WWE Universal Champion Monday night, and you won’t want to miss any of the action in this explosive four-man melee.

After failing to diagnose any new cases of “ringpostitis” last week, “Doctors” Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson accepted new patients last week in The Dudley Boyz, spoiling the iconic tag team’s farewell address to the WWE Universe with a disrespectful attack that culminated in D-Von Dudley being driven through a table.

As much as it might have been an opportunity to spoil a feel-good moment — Gallows & Anderson are known to do that — it was also a poignant statement to the entire Team Red locker room that no one is safe. Will another tandem suffer the same fate as The Dudley Boyz this Monday night?

From James Ellsworth to Johnny Knockout, local competitors have been lining up to face Braun Strowman in recent weeks, and the conclusion of each bout appears to be more painful than the last. As Strowman looks to continue his impressive winning streak, another journeyman grappler will likely stand across the ring from the juggernaut this Monday night. Will this hopeful grappler find success where others have failed, or will he be mangled like the rest?

Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to Raw Pre-Show at 7:30 ET on all of WWE’s digital platforms!

IDK Cass is front and center in that main picture, it might be confirmed :mak:

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I hope the second Universal Champion has more luck than the first one did.

 

[Cwalker]

This is the first fatal four way in a long time that I'll be happy if anyone wins

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I'm pulling for Seth Rollins or KO, but I wouldn't be too disappointed with Roman Reigns.

It may be too early for Big Cass. If I was WWE I wouldn't put the belt on another recent call-up after Finn Balor.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

CrossFit Jesus coming for the strap.

 

[Sabretooth]

I can't see anyone other than Rollins winning. Anyone else I would consider a swerve.

 

[Deezy]

Wreckless Rollins better not hurt anyone else tonight

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Not taking the bait again.

 

[Sabretooth]

Not taking the bait again.

You know it's true though lol

 

[Deezy]

Not taking the bait again.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You know it's true though lol

Considering I've been on other forums since last week and it's mostly universally understood not to be.

So I'll say nah and not take the bait.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

This will put a little more kick into this match. I'm hoping The Man and The Guy are the final two.

Booker T on the WWE panel is must watch.

Compared Sasha Banks to Wade Barrett and being injury prone to her face. Also brings up Bret Harts comments about wreckless Rollins
