WWE Raw Results: Analysing and grading each segment (January 2nd)

Roman Reigns and Goldberg faced off in awesome fashion

Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins:

This was a solid match between Owens and Rollins, who have strong chemistry

Result: Seth Rollins wins via DQ.

Grade: 7/10

This was a solid match between Owens and Rollins, who have strong chemistry. The stipulation (that the loser would be banned from ringside for the Reigns/Jericho title match later), helped add significance to the matchup, although it led to a flawed finish.

Owens got himself disqualified, which made no sense given the stipulation. Why would Owens be so dumb to attack Rollins with a weapon, knowing he would lose via disqualification? This made the Champion come across as unwise, which shouldn’t be the case for your top heel champion.

Although it was a strong match, we have seen Rollins and Owens clash before, and this was far from their best effort. Overall, a solid (but overdone) bout, with a weak finish.
