The internet wrestling community has already taken to social media to voice its displeasure at the seemingly pending domination of Sami Zayn at the hands of Braun Strowman, but it was the short and to the point promo that Zayn cut backstage that should remind any of the upset people that the Underdog from the Underground will be just fine in the end.

There arguably was not a more effective interview all night than Zayn's, and it lasted less than ten seconds and featured just four words. In those sub-ten seconds and four words, he expressed his intention and motivation clearer than the Women's Championship Hell in a Cell participants did in lengthy, pre-taped segments, and just as clearly (if not more so) than the trio involved in the Universal Championship scene.

Several noteworthy segments highlighted Raw this week, but Zayn's was among the best despite being quite comfortably the shortest.
