The company has now announced dark main events for both shows. The Raw show will feature Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Universal Championship, and Roman Reigns vs. Rusev for the U.S. Championship. The Smackdown dark main event will be Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles and Bray Wyatt.
