Where Is The Rollins & Triple H Feud Headed?

Whereas Seth Rollins had no option rather than being in the shock and after the show went off-air, Seth rollins seen arguing with the WWE RAW Managers, Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon. What happened at this week’s main event was not only a surprise, but it completely set out a fresh new direction for the show, which most fans had been seeing as losing the brand split to “WWE SmackDown Live” so far. In a predetermined sport, that may sound like nitpicking, but in a match that was hyped the entire night and included several compelling false finishes, some people thought one pedigree to Reigns and one to Rollins should not have been enough. Owens just had to cover Rollins to become the new WWE Universal Champion.

And your NEW Universal Champion is…

Everything pointed to Seth becoming champion, as his former ally in The Authority, who hand picked him for success, then fetched the bruised and battered Owens.

There are also some conflicting reports about who knew what going into Monday’s main event.

But suddenly HHH – who has not been seen since he lost the WWE Championship to Reigns at WrestleMania in April – appeared out of nowhere. After breaking John Cena’s nose, retiring Sting and now injuring Balor, there have been plenty of people – Bret Hart included – who believe that Seth Rollins is a risky worker.
