WWE Clash of Champions pits Seth Rollins against Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship, an interesting battle between two stars who have just assumed new roles at the top of the card.
Owens is getting his first legitimate run as a main eventer while this is also the first time that Rollins is working the main event as a babyface. It’s created quite the pickle for WWE, with logical reasons why either Rollins or Owens should walk out of Clash of Champions as the Universal Champion.
The outcome of Rollins vs. Owens isn’t the only important thing here, either. The finish of the match will be just as critical in setting up both guys for success or failure down the road.
WWE undoubtedly wants Rollins to be that No. 1 babyface, especially with Randy Orton and John Cena essentially working as part-timers these days. But can Rollins become the merchandise mover and face of the company that Cena is? Likewise, can Owens be the top heel WWE desperate needs?
That will depend largely upon how their match plays out at Clash of Champions, so let’s take a look at the most likely possible finishes to the match and rank them in order from worst to best.
4. Roman Reigns Helps Seth Rollins Win
The WWE is reportedly set to reunite The Shield (whether for just one night or a brief-but-longer run), which makes sense given that Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose are all babyfaces.
