Well, it finally happened.
Well, it finally happened.

Winner: Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens defeated Seth Rollins twice last night - first in a regular match and second in a no disqualification match. That can be a huge springboard for him going forward into the main event picture. A title shot after such a victory isn't out of the question.

As for Seth Rollins, it's incredible how fast he's fallen compared to a year ago. That Hell in a Cell match with Bray Wyatt in October really did lasting damage. We're going to have to see what he winds up doing next.


Winner: Braun Strowman

Well, it finally happened. It's two-and-a-half years too late, but Braun Strowman finally won the big one last night, defeating no less a figure than Goldberg to become the Universal Champion. It required a fluke occurrence, of course, due to Roman Reigns' withdrawing from the match over health concerns, but it happened nonetheless.

Where does Braun Strowman go from here as champion? It's unlikely he can build that heat he had with the crowd back up to the levels it was at in 2017. But you never know, assuming his reign even lasts long enough to get back to live crowds.

We'll just have to see what happens, but it's no doubt a major career milestone for Braunn Strowman.
