8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 1)
2. Rollins Continues To Shine
Ever since returning from injury, we’ve seen a different Seth Rollins, as the former world champion has done something he couldn’t seem to do on a regular basis before his injury: win matches on his own.
Rollins defeated Sami Zayn in a spirited contest that saw Zayn come close multiple times, but Rollins was just a little better, dodging a Helluva Kick and hitting a Pedigree for the win. In many ways, winning clean like that did more for both men than Seth cheating to win. Rollins obviously looks really strong, while Zayn hung with the former world champ and just came up short.
Sure, some will say that Sami was hurt by losing clean – and they might have a point – but it’s probably a bigger deal that one-half of the SummerSlam main event looks strong.
