While it was great to see the Jericho/Owens story furthered, a DQ finish in a PPV main event is a weak way to close the show

Seth Rollins vs. Chris Jericho

Result: Seth Rollins pins Chris Jericho after Kevin Owens accidentally distracted Y2J.

Grade: 7/10

This was a solid match, albeit nothing special. This didn’t possess the intensity it should have, with Rollins and Jericho wrestling a regular match rather than a heated battle. Considering Jericho has cost Rollins the Universal Title three times, Rollins wasn’t nearly as angry and aggressive as he should’ve been.

The in-ring action was decent, but we have seen the two clash on multiple occasions over the last couple of months; leaving fans uninvested in the story and action. The issues between Rollins and Jericho didn’t feel like the main focus, and that was especially true with the ending.

While Owens accidentally costing Y2J the win kept their growing tension at the forefront, it meant Rollins and Jericho’s personal feud ended on a whimper. Rollins’ issues with Triple H left fans pining for ‘The Game’ to make an appearance as well, but he never showed.

While the in-ring action was solid (and it was nice to see Rollins pick up the PPV win), this felt like an extended match from an episode of Raw. Overall, a decent bout, but not the gripping clash that could’ve been produced by Jericho and Rollins.
