Steve FallHOST
Following the return of the brand extension, Monday Night Raw needed a new world champion.
Steve FallHOST
WWE introduced the Universal Championship, and qualifying matches were held to determine who would compete for the title at SummerSlam that year.
Steve FallHOST
Earlier that evening, both wrestlers won qualifying matches, setting up their main event encounter.
Steve FallHOST
Now, Roman entered...
Steve FallHOST
Number six, Bobby Lashley.
Steve FallHOST
When Bobby Lashley returned to WWE in April of 2018, he became a potential threat for Roman Reigns.
Steve FallHOST
Both men wanted an opportunity to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.
Steve FallHOST
Their rivalry intensified until WWE had a singles match between the both men at Extreme Rules on July 15, 2018.
MattHOST
They now have put We Want Cody on a shirt.
MattHOST
Also, they had a Brewers belt, a Packers belt, a Rock belt, an Undisputed Universal Championship belt, and the World Heavyweight belt.
MattHOST
Without a doubt, the loudest crowd reactions of the night were for Rey Mysterio, Dominic, Roman, Reigns, and Cody.
MattHOST
What shocked me was when Bianca came out and the crowd around me was dead silent until the crowd started chanting EST, which was met by my section ending the chant with the word sucks.
Bradley PalermoHOST
Yeah, he's like a Vince guy.
Bradley PalermoHOST
Then we got swerved because we were advertised WWE Universal Champion, the most important wrestler in the world, Sami Zayn.
Bradley PalermoHOST
versus Kevin Owens, his longtime rival.
Bradley PalermoHOST
Fortunately, we still got the top rest of the best in the world.
Jack Whopper NicholsHOST
People loved Braun Strowman.
Jack Whopper NicholsHOST
Didn't he win the Universal Championship? Yeah, in lockdown.
Jack Whopper NicholsHOST
Yeah.
Jack Whopper NicholsHOST
Against Goldberg,
Scotty KPANELIST
Let's segue.
Scotty KPANELIST
Penta cashes in on Sami, wins the WWE Universal Championship.
Scotty KPANELIST
Sure.
Scotty KPANELIST
Where does that take Sami Zayn?
Corey GravesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's no secret the history between Triple H and Seth Rollins.
Corey GravesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Seth feels the Triple H cost him the WWE Universal Championship.
Corey GravesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And a lot of people would agree that Triple H may have had a hand in Seth losing his spot in the Royal Rumble match tomorrow night.
Corey GravesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I understand Seth being upset, but he's not gonna stop till he gets his hands on the game.
MattHOST
They've got a big match with KO enrollment at the Rumble.
MattHOST
And while everyone and their brother knows that Kevin Owens has, again, a negative chance of winning that match and winning the Universal Championship, the undisputed WWE Universal Championship, I think that having The Rock there the week before the Rumble... makes no sense that you're completely overshadowing and looking way past Kevin Owens.
MattHOST
That's not a good way to push the title match with Kevin Owens and Roman because then you're not even really – you've taken the investment, emotional investment of KO and Roman off the table.
MattHOST
Because you're looking at this going, oh, cool, yeah, I mean, now we know that's the Rock Roman and Kevin Owens is going away very quickly.
43 MINS LATER
MattHOST
No, because I think they're going to split the championships.
MattHOST
I think it's going to be the WWE Championship coming to Raw, where it's going to be Cody versus Seth.
MattHOST
And then I think it's going to be Rock-Roman for the Universal Championship on SmackDown.
MattHOST
On the SmackDown side of things, I think that's what's going to happen, personally.
Sam RobertsHOST
And now I'm here to take it a step further because in case you didn't notice, I'm the guy that is holding the championship belt that was created to become a trophy of your utter dominance in this promotion.
Sam RobertsHOST
This title that is on Sami Zayn's shoulder was created to Because Roman Reigns held the WWE and Universal Championships simultaneously.
Sam RobertsHOST
And there was nobody that was going to take that title off of him.
Sam RobertsHOST
So they made him a belt.
Bobby F. N. SalazarGUEST
Obviously, understandable because of all these health conditions and not wanting to... be at risk of contracting COVID, understandable.
Bobby F. N. SalazarGUEST
And then he came back and then won the, at the time, Universal Championship at, I believe it was the 2020 SummerSlam.
Bobby F. N. SalazarGUEST
And it's just seemed to have dragged on for over six years now, which that's mad when you come to think of it, you know, six years pretty much now.
Bobby F. N. SalazarGUEST
And like, what have you, you know, with the whole tribal chief storyline and then, you know, getting in with the Usos, having their feud and actually formally creating what's now known as the Bloodline.
Don TonyHOST
For the 24-7 championship, R-Truth retains defeating Drew Gulak.
Don TonyHOST
Roman Reigns retains the WWE Universal Championship in an I Quit Hell in a Cell match, defeating Jey Uso.
Don TonyHOST
Elias over Jeff Hardy.
Don TonyHOST
The Miz defeated Otis, and this was for Otis' Money in the Bank contract, so Otis no longer had the briefcase.
