WWE SummerSlam 2016: Talking points

Lesnar leaves Orton in a pool of blood

#2 New WWE Universal Champion

The Demon King’s era begins

The biggest talking point for the Raw brand from SummerSlam is that it has a new WWE Universal Champion. Finn Balor and Seth Rollins tore each other apart in their match by silencing the audience with their incredible skills.

The match had a new vibe to it. With evenly matched performers, they both worked off each other to deliver one of the stellar bouts of the night. If not for the other performances in the night, this could have been very well the match of the night. And the fun part was that it was easily anyone's match. Finn Balor overcame Seth Rollins’s craftiness to deliver the Coup de Grace and in th process, became the first ever WWE Universal Champion.

The new era of Raw will now begin with Finn Balor as the spearhead and Rollins as his polar opposite. It sure seems to be exciting.
