16 Worst-To-Best Matches Of WWE's Summerslam Weekend
5. Finn Bálor Defeated Kevin Owens
Finn Balor's tremedous. Kevin Owens is tremendous, too. However, they're still honing their chemistry together in the ring. One day, these two will truly master their roles in WWE. It'll be Wrestlemania, a TLC match, with the World Championship hanging over the ring, and dammit, they'll over-deliver as they always do. Don't be hasty in calling this match "incredible." Instead, think about the fact that these are two competitors who are learning how to best wrestle each other. Balor's developing into being a true artist in the ring. He's got a larger goal than "getting over," as does Owens, too. This match was great. Do expect even greater.
