The inaugural Universal Championship match was one of the best matches of 2016. Finn Balor beat Seth Rollins while battling through an injury which he sustained during the match to win the title.
The plan would have been to have the two men get into an extended rivalry for the title after Balor won it, but the injury caused Balor to step away from the ring and relinquish his championship.
Now WWE has the chance to revive a rivalry that could bring Raw’s ratings back up and satisfy the entire WWE Universe.
Balor and Rollins are the two biggest faces of Raw at the moment, and if the two men compete against each other for the top title, then nothing will be better for the brand.
As the battle would be similar to that of AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, Raw will surely benefit from such a scenario and the WrestleMania 35 will be the perfect stage for this rivalry to kickoff!
