Seth Rollins vs Sami Zayn
Trending
The first match in the series to determine the new WWE Universal Champion is between ‘The Architect’ Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn. Rollins should take a close look at himself after breaking Cena’s nose, injuring Sting with a Buckle Bomb and now injuring Balor, all in little more than a year. He isn’t the epitome of a safe worker right now.
As we return from the commercial break, the match has already begun. Sami held his own in the opening exchanges and countered Rollins’ attempt at a running powerbomb to the crowd barrier, the same move that injured Balor at SummerSlam. Sami counters with a moonsault from the barrier.
Zayn favoured his ankle after landing awkwardly from a springboard. Could this be another injury? Zayn fights on with what looks like a pretty bad ankle but Rollins is definitely on top now and the favourite to win.
Rollins continues dominating throughout the commercial break but Zayn tries to fight back with a tilt-a-whirl slam. He follows it up with a sunset-flip powerbomb for the near fall. Zayn goes for the Helluva kick following an exploder suplex to the corner. However, his bad ankle lets Zayn down and Rollins counters with a jumping knee.
Zayn attempts a Michnoku Driver but he can’t get Rollins up while hobbling on one ankle and Rollins counters with a Pedigree for the pinfall.
