#1 Samoa Joe wins the main event
Trending
The main event was a lot of fun as multiple men matches usually are. It helps that everyone can get their spots in, rest as needed and keep the pace fast. This main event had unique pairings, the good Wyatt-Joe alliance and back-to-back brutal looking spots on the outside. If you throw in believable near falls for every competitor, you leave the show on an enjoyable note.
I heard rumours that Samoa Joe might be the favourite but it was still a big surprise to actually see it happen. He really was a guy getting lost in the shuffle on the Raw brand and had a few high-profile wins to speak of since joining the show. To see the WWE let him go over cleanly was a surprise, to say the least.
As strange as it is for me to say, I am looking forward to “Great Balls of Fire”. Samoa Joe looks like a credible threat to Brock Lesnar and can give the reigning Universal Champion a solid, physical match.
It is nice to see the WWE try a fresh match-up for a change.
