A series of matches on last night’s Raw determined WWE Champion Drew McIntyre’s challenger for Clash of Champions.
There were three singles matches that decided the participants for a triple threat number one contender’s match later in the night. Keith Lee defeated Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton defeated Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins defeated Dominik Mysterio.
Owens was attacked by Aleister Black before his match against Orton. Owens decided to try and still compete but was quickly beaten with an RKO.
Rollins was originally supposed to face Rey Mysterio, but WWE announced that Mysterio suffered a torn triceps at Payback. Dave Meltzer reported that Mysterio isn’t expected to need surgery for the injury and could be out of action for two months or maybe less.
Orton won the triple threat main event and will challenge McIntyre at Clash of Champions on Sunday, September 27. Rollins was going for a stomp near the end of the match, but Lee caught him and hit a Spirit Bomb. Orton then came into the ring, hit an RKO on Lee, and pinned Rollins to win the match.
