Unleashing the full power of The Demon King on Seth Rollins last night at SummerSlam, Finn Bálor made history by becoming the first WWE Universal Champion, however, an injury sustained during the bout raises new questions about his title reign. What’s next for the enigmatic Irishman?

Kind of surprised by the Dudley news. Thought they just signed new deals not to lo g ago. Haven't liked how they have been booked since they returned so it's probably for the best. Could be a work though, or they retire from Raw and sign with Smackdown.

I'm dreading the thought that they're just going to go straight back to Rollins vs. Reigns...but really, I don't know what other option they have. His feud with Rusev is expendable because it's been awful.

Yes they built Balor up so quickly it's not out of the realm of possibility that they could hotshot somebody else into the title picture in the next month before Clash of the Champions. But Cesaro's just started a Best of 7 with Sheamus, Zayn and Neville appear to be starting a tag team, and nobody wants to see Big Show or Mark Henry getting main event title matches in 2016.

Probably bump Reigns back to the title scene like some rumors were teasing prior to SS. Rusev-Reigns was never meant to be a long feud and just a cheap way for WWE to get crowds to boo Reigns less.

They said Balor had to relinquish the title cause he was out for at least 6 months with a shoulder injury

Then Seth Rollins came out and said he deserves the title

Given that the Reigns match happened before Balor's shoulder exploded on the barricade, I doubt that's the case.

That said, I'm suspecting that they're holding off on crowning anyone tonight, because they want to do Reigns, and he's going to get eaten alive here, but next week is in Houston, which may be a little more friendly.

Given that the Reigns match happened before Balor's shoulder exploded on the barricade, I doubt that's the case.

That said, I'm suspecting that they're holding off on crowning anyone tonight, because they want to do Reigns, and he's going to get eaten alive here, but next week is in Houston, which may be a little more friendly.

No. It went Rusev/Reigns and then Orton/Brock. Last 2 matches didn't have a real finish.

How funny would it be if they knew Balor was injured so they decided to have Reigns destroy Rusev pre match instead of putting the US Title on him. Now he can win the Universal Title instead of Rollins.


Did they tease a Rollin face turn yet? That needs to come.

More like the WWE panicked once they got the results and are just redoing the Universal tournament again. Sheets teased for a while Rusev-Reigns was never meant to be a long feud since Vince just wanted to use Rusev to get people to stop booing Reigns before sticking him back into the title scene.

The knee I can excuse, because that was on both guys.

The buckle bomb with Sting maybe because he's done it a ton of times without any issues--at that point. Maybe ill-advised at worst given Sting's age, even if it had been 'clean' up until then.

But that barricade bomb is dangerous to the extent that it--at least from my perspective--is 100% on Seth to set the guy up right, and there's a ton of moving parts. That would be the straw that broke the camel's back--or shoulder.

Hart can talk too much in his old age, but maybe he is studying his style and can see that it is on the edge. Maybe he is not doing all the little things well to make guys 100% safe.

Guys like Hart and Flair pride themselves in keeping an opponent 100% safe.

Part of it is how fast paced and risky today's style is, but there still needs to be responsibility on the part of the performer to make sure these things don't happen.

It is a massive blow to Finn Balor, and it all could have been avoided so easily.

Starting to get a bit SOOOOUUUUUR on New Day. Last few months have been pretty stale/repetitive, and a lot of the segments have been kind of weak compared to some previous home runs.

Their matches have just kind of been "there" since like TLC. I'm fine with the Doctor Gallows & Doctor Anderson stuff, but the fact that all of the Club / New Day matches have been like three minute clusterfucks with non-finishes is really killing the feud more than the fact they're feuding over bruised taints.
