Speaking of the allotted 10-minute duration to Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn, it worked well from a storyline perspective. Of course, there will be those on social media unhappy with the finish. Admittedly, it did look like the clock ticked down before Zayn and Strowman had marched through all of their planned spots.

That minor hiccup aside (if it even was one), Sami was able to survive against the mountain of a man he faced. That's something for the underdog babyface to brag about, and he can continue his ongoing angle with Mick Foley at the same time. Zayn was able to convince Foley not to throw the towel in for him, after all.

Given the pre-match stipulation and time limit imposed on the match, Sami was always going to last the full 10 minutes. It would have felt like a letdown had he been squashed quickly, rather than telling the story of endurance.

Now, Sami Zayn can boast about two things. Firstly, he survived the entire match. Secondly, he walked out all by himself.
