6 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 25)

1. Rollins, Ziggler Steal The Show

It’s fitting that Dolph Ziggler bills himself as the Show-Off, because he and Seth Rollins certainly stole the show Monday night with a half-hour barn-burner for the Intercontinental Championship.

The two men tangled in a high-octane match that saw them trade near-falls, with fans buying a lot of them, including a Zig-Zag that Rollins managed to escape. Rollins hit a superplex and Falcon Arrow combo, which might have done the new IC champ in, but Drew McIntyre returned from his ejection to force a DQ and save the title for his buddy.

It’s a shame the match ended that way, but it’s pretty clear that this rivalry can extend a bit longer, so we won’t count that against them.
