9 Things WWE Got Right At Battleground 2016

Match of the night, match of the month, and it'll be right up there when listing WWE's matches of the year. If this is the last chapter in the Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens rivalry (it blatantly won't be, but should be for a while), this was fabulously well done.

It wasn't perfect, but it didn't need to be. The match started somewhat slowly, and the crowd was taken out of it briefly in the middle after Sami mistimed an Arabian Press and landed awkwardly on his shoulder. Was it a botch, or a perfectly timed one?

Either way, the match picked up from here as Owens went to work on Zayn's shoulder.

The finishing sequence is what will take the plaudits though, and rightly so. Zayn hit Owens with a number of half-and-half suplexes, including one beautiful double that saw Owens practically no-sell the first with Japanese fighting spirit only to be dropped by the second one.

Zayn hit Owens with the Helluva Kick, but before he could make the pin his former best friend slumped into his arms. It was a true moment of release for Zayn, who when faced with the option of defeating his blood rival or administering one last nail, went against his nature and opted for the latter.

Now team them up and have them dominate the tag division, before breaking up again further down the line. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
