10 WWE Clash Of Champions 2017 Impulse Reactions

10. Mojo Pin

The Clash Of Champions Kickoff seemed a grossly unfair place to stage the first meeting of ex-Hype Bro partners Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder, but the two used the minimalist setting to hugely outperform measured expectations.

The match went largely to form, with the young upstart Rawley winning an extended squash over the veteran former mentor, but both added nuanced touches to their performances to maximise the seven minutes of television time they were given.

Flying at Mojo with dropkick was the perfect way for an incensed 'Long Island Iced Z' to chase immediate revenge after the bell rang, but little impacted the former NXT star after he took control by callously shoving Ryder from the top rope to the floor. Ryder's brief riposte came sans bombast, but it was for naught as the fearsome former footballer finished him off with a wicked running forearm.

Never out of his fallen friend's face following the fall, Rawley was at last able to harness his detestable 'hype' into something relatable for a change. He's at least now allowed to portray the d*ckhead everybody's always thought he was.
