3. Rollins/Balor Will Do

At this stage as a Raw viewer, maybe it’s time to just stop expecting good or even decent storytelling and just be satisfied with a good match here and there.

In that case, Seth Rollins versus Finn Balor should do nicely. Rollins was doing his cackling promo about how he won the men’s Survivor Series match on his own (not true, he only got one pinfall), when Balor interrupted for his match. But Rollins jumped him mid-entrance, beating him viciously and delivering two stomps before the match ever started.

Seth is a delusional goof, so anything he does can be waved off as in-character, and thus this should work fine. At least they’re not on an egg hunt.
