Bray Wyatt captured the WWE Universal Championship on Thursday in a violent Falls Count Anywhere match with Seth Rollins at the Crown Jewel event in Saudi Arabia. Late in the match Rollins nailed Wyatt with half a dozen Curb Stomps on the entrance ramp, then tossed him off into a pile of electronic equipment that sparked and caught fire. Since the match couldn’t be stopped for any reason other than a pinfall, Rollins climbed down to search for Wyatt. But suddenly “The Fiend” appeared behind him and locked in the Mandible Claw. He hit a Sister Abigail on the concrete for the victory.

The win is massive for Wyatt’s new persona, as many fans were worried that it had been damaged when he lost via referee stoppage at Hell in a Cell.

 

Wyatt posed with the new title at the top of the ramp to close out the show. He’s booked to appear on a Miz TV segment on Friday Night SmackDown tomorrow.
