You can typically count on WWE to deliver at least one really good match on each episode of Raw. Monday’s match between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre was that bout.

Rollins and McIntyre threw down in a competitive, energetic match that featured hard-hitting offense, great counters and some near-falls to keep fans into things. Rollins countered a Claymore attempt with his own superkick, and he kicked out of a White Noise off the middle rope and then a sit-out powerbomb right after.

In the end, Rollins squeaked out a victory with a rollup, which worked given how back-and-forth the match went.
