Simply put these men in the ring together and magic will happen. At Payback in May, Owens beat Zayn in a good match. Several months later, shortly after the WWE Draft, Zayn and Owens were back at it again on pay-per-view come Battleground. This time, WWE hyped up the match as being their last.

In order to sell that, management perhaps should have separated both men in the Draft. That can't take away from what happened bell-to-bell though, as Zayn and Owens arguably stole the entire show with their performance.

Better yet, it was Sami Zayn who picked up the win, one he badly needed. Zayn is always going to be on the cusp of great things in WWE, and he was rewarded for his stunning matches with a big pay-per-view win here. 'Fight Forever' indeed.
