Finn Balor vs. Roman Reigns Added To WWE Extreme Rules

WWE has announced that Roman Reigns will defend the Universal title against Finn Balor at WWE Extreme Rules on September 26. The two recently had a title match on an episode of Smackdown, but according to the announcement, the interference from the Usos before the match is what led to Balor getting a rematch.

At WWE Extreme Rules, Roman Reigns will battle Finn Bálor in a highly anticipated rematch for the Universal Championship.

It has been a hard road for Bálor since reemerging on SmackDown. After having a SummerSlam title match stolen from him, the determined first-ever Universal Champion returned to reclaim the gold he never lost when he battled Reigns for the title on the Sept. 3 edition of the blue brand.

Although The Head of the Table emerged victorious over The Prince, the win was far from uncontroversial, having come after Bálor suffered a vicious pre-match attack at the hands of The Usos. As a result of the assault, Bálor will receive another opportunity at the Universal Championship at WWE Extreme Rules.

Find out if The Prince can finally take the throne from one of the most dominant Universal Champions of all time on the one night of the year when WWE goes extreme. WWE Extreme Rules streams live on Sunday, Sept. 26, at 8 ET/5 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.

Here’s the updated lineup:

* WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Finn Balor
* WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Randy Orton
* RAW Women’s Championship: Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Alexa Bliss
* United States Championship: Damian Priest (c) vs. Sheamus
