Eight days removed from their controversial Hell in a Cell match, WWE officially booked a rematch between Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt for the WWE Universal Championship. The reigning world champ will take on The Fiend at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Oct. 31 in a Falls Count Anywhere match. This match has quite a few wrinkles added to it, as Wyatt was drafted to Friday Night SmackDown last week and Rollins is already booked for the 10-man Team Hogan vs. Team Flair tag team match. For those who missed the original match, Rollins nailed Wyatt with 11 Curb Stomps and a boatload of weapons, but couldn't keep the demonic force down for more than a few seconds.

He managed to escape the match with his title, but only due to referee stoppage after the ref called for the bell once Rollins used a sledgehammer on Wyatt. The ending result was widely panned by fans in attendance (and watching along at home), so it's possible WWE is trying to make amends with this bout.
