WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs Sami Zayn (2.25/5)
The build towards this match was centered around the “underdog” of Sami Zayn, and that’s what the booking leaned heavily on. From the start of the match to the finish, it was Drew McIntyre working over Sami Zayn. The Ultimate Underdog would get his comebacks in, but the Scottish Psychopath swiftly put them down.
Crafting a compelling match is not an easy feat, and it should have been an easy one with the talent that was in the ring. However, something was missing from this match that caused it to fall a bit flat. It was too much of Drew McIntyre beating Sami Zayn down with only small spurts of a comeback. There wasn’t enough back and forth for it to appear as a competitive contest.
The table spot and vicious side of McIntyre was great, but that’s all this match highlighted. There was no point at which it looked like Sami Zayn was going to overcome the odds.
