Sami Zayn vs Chris Jericho
Trending
Grade: 7/10
This was a solid bout that could have used some extra build, as the two-week build-up wasn’t enough to get fans enticed into the rushed story. Despite this, any match between Zayn and Jericho won’t disappoint, and the story of the young, hungry babyface being outsmarted by the cheating and the veteran heel was on point. Jericho’s in-ring awareness and heel tactics were central, as he tried to outsmart the faster-paced Zayn.
The finish came quicker than anyone expected, and although Zayn was in need of a win, Jericho picking up the victory sets this feud up for future bouts in the next few weeks. The crowd wasn’t nearly as hot as they were during Cesaro vs Sheamus, but this was still a fun bout that wasn’t flawed with a screwy finish, unlike others.
