WWE Monday Night Raw 8.15.16: Results, Grades, Reflections

SAMI ZAYN DEF. SHEAMUS

Zayn continues to prove his worth on the Raw roster.

I have no issue with the action that took place in between bells. In fact, Zayn and Sheamus are consistently two of the best in-ring performers on the roster. However, this particular match came completely out of nowhere. What was the purpose or ultimate goal they had in mind when they decided to book this one?

With no event as huge as SummerSlam just days away, all of the focus should be centered around storyline progression and granted, there was a brief distraction provided by Cesaro, it wasn't enough to help with selling the match at SummerSlam.

GRADE: C-
