Clash of Champions 2016: Kevin Owens v Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is on his own, and Kevin Owens’ WWE Universal Championship is in his sights, at WWE Clash of Champions.

After a long and profitable stint as “The Man” under Triple H’s tutelage, Rollins was officially tossed to the side by The Game in the middle of a Fatal 4-Way for the vacant WWE Universal Championship, which was more or less handed to Owens on a platter as a result.

Following The Game's decision to go rogue — Stephanie McMahon was allegedly unaware of his plans — Owens was officially annointed as the chosen one in a move that both validated The Prizefighter’s own years of hard work and positioned him as The Game’s new handpicked top star of Raw’s New Era. Rollins, meanwhile, was left jilted following his years of work in support of Stephanie and Triple H in The Authority, and Owens' insinuation that The Architect had lost a step since his career-threatening knee injury provoked him into a fury against the new champion on Raw.

Stephanie was quick to suspend Rollins indefinitely for his display of aggression, but Raw General Manager Mick Foley, who wasn’t entirely convinced Triple H and Stephanie hadn’t planned the coup, vetoed the suspension and instead gave The Architect a chance to challenge Owens at WWE Clash of Champions. But there's one catch: If Roman Reigns can defeat Owens on Monday's Raw, he'll be added to the Clash of Champions bout and make it a Triple Threat Match.

Can Rollins redesign his game plan, rebuild his confidence and reclaim his independence? Or is this really just “The Kevin Owens Show”? Will Reigns get his chance at the WWE Universal Title if he beats Owens on Raw?
