WWE Raw December 12th: Analysing and grading each segment

Braun Strowman vs. Curtis Axel:

Braun Strowman dominated with another strong win

Grade: 7/10

This was your usual mediocre squash match for Strowman, although it was wise of WWE to give Strowman a win over a roster member like Axel, rather than local talent. The segment between Sami Zayn and Mick Foley after this match was great, but only a preview of their incredible war of words later in the night.

Zayn demanding a match with Strowman has been excellent, and Foley protecting him due to his past experiences is intriguing. Zayn asking for a trade to SmackDown Live led to the segment later on in the show, and it was a nice way of getting fans excited at the prospect of a trade for Zayn.

Overall, another win for Strowman and a great Zayn/Foley segment that teased the idea of a trade for Zayn to SD Live.
