Raw's Commissioner and General Manager reveal that the first WWE Universal Champion will be crowned at SummerSlam.

PITTSBURGH — The bad news first: Raw’s first show of the New Era began without a heavyweight title to call its own, as Dean Ambrose won the Shield Triple Threat at WWE Battleground and took the WWE Championship with him to SmackDown Live. The good news second: Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Mick Foley came prepared by announcing the creation of a new WWE Universal Championship, hot-shotting Seth Rollins into one of the contention spots, and announcing two Raw Fatal 4-Ways to determine his opponent. The winners of those matches get each other in the main event of Raw; the winner of that match gets Rollins at SummerSlam; the winner of that match becomes WWE Universal Champion.

And as for the title Raw already has — the WWE Women’s Championship — Foley also decreed that, as a result of submitting current champion Charlotte the previous night, Sasha Banks would get her long-awaited title opportunity that night. Legit on all counts.
