Seth Rollins to defend the Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio

After coming back to WWE, Rey Mysterio notched his biggest victory by winning the fatal-5-way match last week. Rey Mysterio will now face the current champion for the Universal Championship. Seth Rollins will enter the game not just to retain his title but also prepare for his upcoming match against the ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt in the upcoming Hell in the Cell pay-per-view. However, Mysterio is having the time of his life, he has continuously won his last few matches and this can have a positive effect on the master of 619.
