Two of WWE Raw’s top stars will collide in a title match next week.
Seth Rollins will challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE United States Championship on the September 19 episode. On Monday, Rollins stated that it has been far too long since he has held a title. Later in the show, he declared that he is the face of WWE Raw. Lashley confronted him and said that he who holds the gold is the true face of the show. Rollins countered by challenging him to a match for the championship to settle the matter, and Lashley accepted.

Plus, Kevin Owens will face Austin Theory. The former WWE Universal Champion delivered a passionate message on Monday, as he told Theory that he’s not the hand-picked future of the company anymore. He stated that guys like Theory are a dime a dozen while hard-working wrestlers like himself and Johnny Gargano are much more rare. Theory didn’t seem to learn from the message, so the two stars brawled, and Owens apparently broke Theory’s nose in the fight.
KO left it all out there tonight! #WWERaw
