7 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE Raw (Oct 25)
1. Barnburner Of A Ladder Match
What happens when you stick four extremely talented wrestlers with history with each other in a ladder match against each other with real stakes and give it a ton of time? You get a hell of a Raw main event.
Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor tore into each other in a match that saw each man dominate at various points, but in a balanced way where each got their shine. They used ladders and a table to their advantage, and they had the fans along for the ride.
Really, only one person had a great shot at winning: Rollins. He needed to rebound after his loss to Edge at Crown Jewel, and he represents a great foil to Big E for the WWE Championship. The two could have a tremendous match.
This was the kind of match that elevates your entire view of Raw because it occupied a good chunk of the show (the last half-hour) and was so good from start to finish.
