WWE Universal Championship
Kevin Owens© VS Seth Rollins
On the first episode of television presented by the company for 2017. Which was rather fittingly an episode of its flagship show aka Monday Night RAW. The General Manager of the brand, Mick Foley took to the ring to make an announcement that had Royal Rumble implications.
He revealed that Big Cass, Braun Strowman, Chris Jericho, Goldberg, Jinder Mahal, Kofi Kingston. WWE USC Roman Reigns©, Rusev, Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins. Would compete in a ten-man mini-Rumble match, with the winner challenging Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship at the ppv.
It started with ten but in the end only one man could be the victor. And that man was none other than Seth Rollins, who eliminated Jericho to win after Y2J had eliminated Roman Reigns.
