At Sportskeeda, we are always listening to YOU, the reader and what you have to say. Which is why we have introduced a brand new feature where you can cast your ratings about every WWE match, every single week.

You may also leave a comment and let us know exactly what you thought of the match. If you thought it was good, bad, or disappointing.

All you need to do, ladies and gentlemen is just click on this link and cast your vote in the matches displayed at the top. Voting is still on, but for the time being, let me list out which matches SK readers liked and which ones they did not care for, this week.

We are all WWE fans just like you, and there's nothing that gives us more enjoyment than to talk wrestling with people like yourself.

Do note, that we're confining this list to singles matches for the time being. So without further ado, let's begin!


#5 Ricochet vs. Drew McIntyre on RAW

Drew McIntyre may be one of the biggest men in the roster but he has the agility and the finesse that nobody his size ordinary has, making him a one-in-a-million Superstar. And then you have Ricochet, who is simply the most athletic man in the WWE roster by a long shot.

The two men battled it out on RAW ahead of the Team Hogan vs. Team Flair match at Crown Jewel and they had absolutely extraordinary chemistry. The fact that Randy Orton came out of nowhere as he often does, and hit a picture-perfect RKO just added a lot to the match, I felt.

It was a seriously underrated match and Sportskeeda's readers let us know how much they enjoyed it. Maybe we could see a full-fledged feud between the two men!

#4 Seth Rollins vs. The Fiend at Crown Jewel

This is, of course, the biggest match and easily the biggest development from this week in sports entertainment. Seth Rollins defended the Universal Championship in a Falls Count Anywhere match at Crown Jewel, that was contested all over the ramp, in the crowd and even inside the ring for a brief period of time. I suppose the fan experience may have been impaired by the fact that the red light made a lot of things difficult to see and follow.

Nobody can doubt the fact that Seth Rollins puts on some great matches every time he steps in the ring to put on a show. The Fiend played his part as well, wrestling as an unearthly being at all times. The result where a brand new Universal Champion was crowned must have made a lot of people very happy.

Yowie Wowie, my friends!

#3 Seth Rollins vs. Rowan on RAW

Seth Rollins occupies two positions this week in this week as he should because the man never operates at less than 100% whenever he performs. But I do find it funny that the prelude to his big match at Crown Jewel was rated higher than the actual match.

He took on Rowan in a Falls Count Anywhere match which went all around the arena, including the concession stands and the backstage area too. The match could eventually end when Rollins would pin Rowan with a forklift, which was a nice bit of storytelling.

Rowan's recent push stems from him sabotaging a forklift in such a manner that it caused an 'accident' with Roman Reigns. I do hope that Rowan gets a big push during his time on RAW because he's been booked as a monster recently.

Erick Rowan may not be Seth Rollins in the ring but he is a good hand.

#2 Becky Lynch vs. Kairi Sane on RAW

What made this match special was the fact that Paige accompanied the Kabuki Warriors to ringside before the match. And as she showered praise upon The Kabuki Warriors, they would snatch her microphone away from her. And Paige would then be doused and slathered in the green mist, to the shock of fans.

This was a great match that went on for a fair bit and established the fact that someone like Kairi Sane can hang in there with a top star like Becky Lynch. NXT fans are undoubtedly familiar with everything that Kairi Sane can do but the main roster needed some reminding. Asuka and Becky Lynch are going to face off next, from the looks of it, as it stands.

I'm sure when that match happens, it will rank in this list too. It may even score higher than this match did.

#1 Daniel Bryan vs. Adam Cole on SmackDown

And the highest-rated match this week came as an accident because it wasn't even advertised. Daniel Bryan and Adam Cole battled it out in the main event of SmackDown in a match that was given enough time to breathe, resulting in what was an instant classic.

Adam Cole would pick up the win, which was a necessary victory to prove that NXT is a truly formidable force and can go up against the best in the main roster. This is a match that could have potentially been the main event of a TakeOver event.

One wonders how many dream main roster vs. NXT matches we will see in the build-up to Survivor Series 2019. I don't think fans would even be upset if we see a repeat of this same match next week as well!

So, these are the matches you voted for, ladies and gentlemen, and we thank you for your valuable time.
