Putting aside the godawful ending that was described earlier, you’ve got to take your hat off for the hard work Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and the Miz put in during the main event.

The trio had an action-packed triple threat that featured Miz trying to weasel his way out of the middle of things, then going full-bore into the match, hanging with Rollins and Balor as they traded high-impact moves, broke up pinfalls and kept fans cheering and reacting throughout the bout. Rollins had an incredible burst, taking both down with a double Blockbuster, frogsplashing Balor and hitting a superplex/Falcon Arrow combo on Miz.

It’s unfortunate that such a promising match ended abruptly after double interference, but if you were watching along, at least Raw ended with a really good, lengthy and entertaining match.
