\nLast week, lots of people apparently overreacted to a good ending to RAW (if the tweets are to be believed). Anyway, Triple H returned and helped Kevin Owens become the new Universal Champ.<\/p>\n

Backstage<\/em><\/span>
\nEarlier today, Mick Foley was upset with Stephanie for not talking to him about what Triple H did. She claims that she knew nothing about it. Foley doesn’t but it, but Steph makes a convincing argument in her defense.<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nAlready in the ring, Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley introduce Kevin Owens. Owens heads to the ring and refuses to shake Mick’s hand. Owens seems happy, and he acknowledges that he deserves the title. He doesn’t appreciate the fans trying to hijack his moment by chanting though. He doesn’t need to be told that he “deserves it.”<\/p>\n

As Owens proclaims that RAW is the “Kevin Owens Show,” Seth Rollins heads to the ring. Rollins blames Stephanie for what happened. Foley stands up for Steph as she tries to defend herself. Rollins assures Stephanie that he will burn the “New Era” to the ground.<\/p>\n

Owens tells Rollins that his return from his injury has been a complete failure. At that, Rollins attacks Owens. Stephanie is fed up with everything and suspends Rollins. Foley says that Rollins is not suspended. He explains that this shouldn’t be personal. Instead, he gives Rollins a rematch for the title at Clash of Champions.<\/p>\n

** Good segment. The anger felt real and I like the dynamics that are forming between Steph, Mick, Owens, and Rollins. **<\/span><\/p>\n

Backstage<\/em><\/span>
\nSteph is pissed at Foley for “usurping her authority.” Owens is also pissed that Foley “rewarded” Rollins’ behavior by giving him a title shot. Foley then rewards Owens’ behavior by putting him in a match with Sami Zayn tonight. Then Chris Jericho walks up. He’s also pissed because Foley is messing with his best friend and the longest reigning Universal Champ in history. Foley rewards his behavior by putting Jericho in a match with Seth Rollins. Steph supports Foley’s decision.<\/p>\n
