WWE to Crown a New Top Contender for the Universal Title on Raw

So, who will be named the new number one contender for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Universal Championship? It looks like we’re going to find out on tonight’s episode of Raw.

According to Cageside Seats, WWE will crown a new number one contender as early as tonight, and as late as next week. We don’t know who will be in line to become the top contender, but it’s pretty safe to assume that both Seth Rollins and Finn Balor will be involved in the match to determine Brock Lesnar’s next opponent.

“WWE will be crowning a top contender to the Universal championship as early as tonight’s episode of Raw, or next week at the latest.”

Lesnar’s original opponent was Braun Strowman, but unfortunately, the ex-Wyatt Family member suffered an injury which required surgery, and he’ll be out of action for an unknown period of time.

If you ask me, Seth Rollins is the favorite to become the number one contender, simply because, in my opinion, it’s too early to do Balor vs. Lesnar. Of course, WWE could change their plan for next year’s WrestleMania, and decide to go with Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar earlier than expected, but that doesn’t seem likely.
