After Clash of Champions went off air, Seth Rollins received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance. Rollins acknowledged the crowd before he left the arena. Seth Rollins lost his match against Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship at Clash of Champions. He had Owens beat several times with the Pedigree but the referee was either knocked out or Jericho placed Owens’ foot on the bottom rope to break up the pinfall. When Rollins made his return from injury, the first thing he did was insult the crowd. However, it now appears that the WWE Universe is in his corner due to the odds constantly being stacked against him.
Triple H did not show up during the main-event at Clash of Champions. He essentially handed Kevin Owens the Universal Championship, so it was easy to assume that he would play a pivotal role at Clash of Champions. That was not the case. Instead, Chris Jericho was the reason that Kevin Owens remained Universal Champion. Stephanie McMahon also took her time bringing out another referee after the original referee was knocked out accidentally by Seth Rollins. It remains to be seen if Stephanie McMahon and Triple H are working together in making sure that Kevin Owens remains Universal Champion. After Clash of Champions went off the air, WWE uploaded a video that showed Stephanie leaving the arena with Triple H. Surely that will increase the speculation that The Authority is back and Seth Rollins has been replaced by Kevin Owens.
