Speaking of Sami Zayn vs. Daniel Bryan, what a nifty little match.

This thing balanced Sports Entertainment and pro-wrestling perfectly. Bryan and his second, Drew Gulak, spent much of their time battling against Zayn, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura, until Drew dispensed with the scamps. The shenanigans gave way for some of the weekend's stiffest work as Bryan punish Zayn thereafter, but crept in again towards the end leading, eventually, to a memorable finish as Sami Helluva Kicked his opponent out of the sky.

Well-balanced and well-executed, this was a tremendous midcard scrap that scratched both itches. Sami was excellent in his chickensh*t role, too.
