Big E and Seth Rollins been having matches on the live event loops all summer so I kinda figured Seth was gonna win cause the live events is where they test future feuds

Yep that’s why the live events are better then Raw or SmackDown to see live. Plus they use live events to test out what we see on tv

Some fans were unhappy with Rollins’ win, claiming that Owens deserved a chance and should have won the match.
You guys got so many talented people, Don’t get me wrong Seth Rollins is nice and all but damn give Kevin Owens a chance to be Wwe Champion, let Cesaro have an opportunity Sheesh 🤦🏽♂️ it’s always the same people. I miss the old days😕

Great match but once again wrong winner. Kevin Owens should've won this tbh. Rollins doesn't deserve this opportunity. He lost at a major ppv so he should fall at the back of the line.

After the match, the WWE champion also came out to congratulate Rollins as he gets ready to face Rollins in the future. It will surely be a tough challenge for Big E.

Seth Rollins emerges victorious in a brutal ladder match on Raw
The ladder match was a brutal one as the superstars went all out at each other. Even though Kevin Owens was the one who suffered the most, he was also looking like the most likely to pick up the win. He kicked things off with a bang as he blasted Balor and Rollins with the help of a ladder.
Owens then claimed his dominance as he powerbombed Balor into a ladder in the middle of the ring. But things turned when Owens landed on a ladder after missing out on a Senton Atomico from the top rope. Later on, Balor backbody dropped Owens into the ladder while Seth lay under the ladder.

Owens got punished once again when Mysterio hit him with a 619 through the ladder outside the ring and followed it up with a seated senton through the ladder on Owens. But KO looked like a man on a mission tonight.
Towards the end, the match got even more brutal. First, Owens hit Mysterio with a Pop-Up Powerbomb to send him crashing through the table. Then, Rollins used all his experience and took out Owens as he performed a backbody drop to put Owens through the ladder.
This ladder was earlier set up by Finn Balor between the apron and the announce desk. Ultimately, it was Rollins who picked up the win after hitting Balor with The Stomp.
