Sami Zayn vs. Braun Strowman (Last Man Standing):
Trending
Result: Braun Strowman wins after Zayn is unable to get to his feet by the 10 count.
Grade: 8.5/10
This was a stellar Last Man Standing match that saw Zayn and Strowman play their roles to perfection. Zayn, the never-say-die, underdog babyface kept fighting back against the relentless monster heel Strowman. Even in loss, Zayn came across as a valiant underdog that the crowd should fully get behind.
In victory, Strowman further proved his monster-like ability, as he can move on to bigger and better things. The United States Championship should be Strowman’s next target.
What is next for Zayn is troubling. Although he lost the feud against Strowman, Zayn has a tonne of momentum as an underdog babyface, and that should be capitalised on with another strong rivalry. Maybe he moves to SD Live now, or challenges for the United States Title.
Whatever the case, both men benefited from this match, and WWE needs to capitalise. Overall, this was a splendid match that saw Zayn and Strowman both benefit from playing their roles extremely well.
