No one saw this ending to Monday's Fatal Four Way for the vacant Universal Championship coming. After Big Cass had already been eliminated, Triple H returned to Raw for the first time since WrestleMania to deliver two Pedigrees to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, allowing Kevin Owens to win the title.

It was a thrilling finish to what was the best match on Raw since Sasha Banks won the Women's Championship a few weeks before SummerSlam, and the other wrestlers watching the show were both blown away and happy for Owens, who has become one of the best performers on the roster since debuting in 2015.

Congrats to @FightOwensFight
