What if The Fiend had attacked Braun Strowman at WWE Clash of Champions?

#1 A More Decisive Finish To The First Seth Rollins Vs. The Fiend Match

Seth Rollins's Hell in a Cell title defense against The Fiend ended in controversy; with more time and build, their first match may have had a more conclusive finish.

WWE found itself in a corner at Hell in a Cell for wanting to protect both Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt. Had their first one on one match been delayed with Wyatt first warring against Braun Strowman, however, it might have offered the necessary buffer for WWE to have Rollins vs. The Fiend end more decisively.

As it stands, the referee stoppage to their first match both prevented a clearer conclusion and seemed to undermine the more brutal underpinnings of the Hell in a Cell concept.

What would have happened if the first iteration of Rollins vs. The Fiend had had a decisive ending, perhaps at Crown Jewel, Survivor Series, or TLC? We can’t know for sure, but if The Fiend’s match or matches with Braun Strowman were as well received as his first outing opposite Finn Balor, he may well have been in line for a title reign? Alternatively, if the bloom came off the rose for The Fiend before he got to a Universal Championship match, it may have been an easier call for Rollins to have pinned him cleanly.
