Plans for the Universal title
WWE Fans felt heart-broken to see Finn Balor relinquishing the Universal title due to the shoulder injury. The original planning post-Summerslam was to start a feud with Owens and Balor for the Universal Championship. Even a triple threat championship match among Owens, Jericho, and Balor was on the cards after Clash of the Champions is over. However, Owens was crowned with the championship belt, early after Balor’s injury occurred.
