WWE News: Lineup for WWE Live Event in Manila 9/9, Huge triple threat main event announced for the WWE Universal Championship

WWE returns to Manila after nearly seven years, this September 9th. This live event is being advertised as WWE’s only tour of South East Asia in 2016. So far in 2016 in Asia, WWE have gone to India and Japan, and will be going to Philippines and China in September. The lineup of the live event is as follows:*Triple Threat WWE Universal Title Match: Seth Rollins vs. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens (c).

* Singles Match: John Cena vs. Big Show

* Singles Match: Roman Reigns vs. Chris Jericho

* Triple Threat WWE Tag Team Title Match: New Day © vs. Anderson and Gallows vs. Shining Stars.

* Singles Match: Cesaro vs. Sheamus

* WWE Women’s Title Match: Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte (c). This match is likely to be changed as Banks is currently out of action with a back injury.

* Singles Match: Goldust vs. Braun Strowman

* Singles Match: Neville vs. Bo Dallas.Alberto Del Rio was previously scheduled for the tour, but he is reportedly done with WWE. Also, from the looks of it, the Filipino fans will be witnessing a Raw exclusive live event. September is the month where both brands officially break into two separate live event circuits. WWE will be visiting China as well this month. The reason Smackdown Live's John Cena is present among all the Raw names is that they usually use him for international tours, as he is a big attraction. He will be appearing on WWE’s tour of China as well.

The main event of the evening is a triple threat match for the Universal Championship with Kevin Owens defending his title against Sami Zayn and Seth Rollins. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were initially slotted in the middle slot of the card but have now been promoted to the main event, due to the fact that he is the WWE Universal Champion. Although title changes rarely occur at house shows, the finish for this one should be interesting.

Owens has just won the Universal Championship a week ago with a little help from Triple H and he will now be pushed as the top heel of the New Era. Owens will look to do whatever he can to come out of the triple threat match with his precious Universal Title still on him. He’s finally reached the top of the pyramid and won’t let go of his well-earned spot this soon.
