WWE has announced that Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Finn Balor at Extreme Rules on September 26.

Balor challenged Reigns for the title on last week’s episode of SmackDown. Balor was ambushed before the match by The Usos. The former NXT Champion ultimately fell to the Tribal Chief’s guillotine choke.

On social media, WWE confirmed that Balor would receive another title match at the upcoming pay-per-view:
