A rematch 7 years later.
As announced on the July 17th edition of Raw, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will defend the title against Finn Balor at SummerSlam.
Rollins appeared in a backstage interview with Byron Saxton, stating that the title deserves a marquee matchup at SummerSlam. The Visionary then stated that multiple superstars have earned an opportunity at the championship, but was then interrupted by Finn Balor.
Balor demanded a rematch, saying that the issues between them are far from over. Rollins responded by stating that Balor needs to stop living in the past, which Balor denied.
Balor appeared to walk away, but then attacked Rollins, demanding that the match be made official. It was later confirmed that the match would be taking palce at the WWE PLE on August 5th.
Back in 2016, Rollins and Balor competed at SummerSlam to crown the first ever WWE Universal Champion. The match was won by Balor, who unfortunately had to relinquish the title 24 hours later after sustaining an injury in the match.
The current card for WWE SummerSlam is as follows:
- Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar
- Seth Rollins (c) vs. Finn Balor – Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
