4 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (March 12)

2. IC Triple Threat Takes Shape

While the Intercontinental Championship triple thread match already was announced last week, it was firmed up even more Monday night.

Appearing on a Miz TV segment, Finn Balor and Seth Rollins deflected Miz’s attempts to get them to attack each other – only for them to quickly spar verbally, toss Miz together and then come to blows themselves.

It really set the stage nicely. You have two popular babyfaces in Rollins and Balor who have just enough animosity between them, and you have Miz, the consummate mixer, also trying to stir things up in an effort to protect his title.

This could be a show-stealer if it gets some time, and the build could get better with three weeks left. Let’s just hope they don’t peak too early with this one.
