WWE News: Seth Rollins to defend Universal Championship against Braun Strowman at Clash of Champions
In a backstage segment on tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW, a Universal Championship match between current champion Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman was made official for the upcoming Clash of Champions pay-per-view.
How things unfolded between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman?
At SummerSlam 2019, Seth Rollins shockingly won the WWE Universal Championship for the second time by defeating Brock Lesnar in the main event of the pay-per-view. Having lost the title to Lesnar at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in the first place, this was the second time in 2019 that Rollins had defeated Lesnar after having beaten the latter at WrestleMania 35.
In the aftermath to SummerSlam, two weeks ago on RAW, Seth Rollins faced A.J. Styles in a barnburner of a match, however, the newly crowned Universal Champion found himself in a heap of trouble when he was outnumbered by The O.C. With Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows laying down a brutal assault on Rollins, 'The Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman surprisingly turned up and made the save.
The following week, with Strowman eyeing Rollins' Universal Championship, the duo challenged and shockingly won the RAW Tag Team Championships from the team of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
