Kevin Owens is your new WWE Universal Champion.
Owens defeated Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Big Cass in the Fatal 4 Way main event of Monday’s RAW to capture the gold. He didn’t do it alone, however. After Big Cass had been eliminated, Triple H appeared out of nowhere delivered a pedigree to Roman Reigns, to the delight of the crowd. He threw Roman Reigns back in the ring and Seth Rollins got the pin, narrowing it down to only two competitors.
Triple H got Owens from outside and and threw him back in the ring. Just as it looked like The Game was setting Seth Rollins up for the win, he shocked the world and delivered a pedigree to Rollins. The crowd went absolutely nuts. A stunned Kevin Owens seized the moment, covered Rollins and scored the pinfall victory.
Owens and Triple H embraced in the ring while Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley looked on in complete disbelief. The crowd chanted “You Deserve It” as Kevin Owens celebrated his win.
Finn Balor, the man who won the Universal Championship just a week ago but had to forfeit the title after 24 just hours due to injury, was quick to congratulate Kevin Owens on his big moment.
Congrats to @FightOwensFight
We have been through it all together.
