5 Ups And 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Feb 12)
1. No Clear Winner
This column has applauded WWE for having matches that carry real stakes: for example, win a match to earn a favored spot in another match. But leave it to WWE to overdo it.
Monday, WWE held a fatal five-way match to determine who would get the last slot in the Elimination Chamber in two weeks. Everyone battled in a fast-paced bout in which each was showcased. But when it came time for the finish of the match, we got something that was anything but definitive.
Finn Balor and Seth Rollins double-teamed Bray Wyatt and pinned him simultaneously, leaving us with no clear winner at Raw went off the air. The resolution seems obvious: Rollins and Balor will likely battle in a one-on-one match on Raw next week to determine the real winner.
This could have been done due to the accidental posting of a photo with Balor as the final entrant to throw fans off, but it still was a bit much to end the match like that.
