WWE Raw 3rd October: Analysing and Grading Each Segment

Rich Swann vs Tony Nese:

Grade: 7/10

Tony Nese impressed with his incredible moveset

This was another splendid Cruiserweight match, with both Nese and Swann impressing. Despite the popularity and infectious energy of Swann, Nese was the focus here, and that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. His moveset is incredible, and his character of the ‘Premier Athlete’ is strong.

A clean win over Swann here was a smart decision, as Nese will hopefully be built up in the next few weeks as a credible challenger for the Cruiserweight Championship. Swann, despite losing, won’t take too much of a hit because of this, and will most likely be back next week without a loss of popularity. Overall, a splendid match, with a nice focus on Tony Nese.
