Despite the special appearances, Raw was quite a disappointment

#1 Best: Last men standing for ratings!

Zayn and Strowman had the only good match all night

To be fair, this was by far the best thing in the show. Sami Zayn (as expected) and Braun Strowman (unexpectedly) put on a pay-per-view quality match on free television and this shook us out of our slumber. The men battled all over the arena, and there were some false finishes in which Zayn teased winning the match against the big monster.

With kendo sticks, table spots, ramp spots and also a backstage brawl this was probably the best non-Sasha/Charlotte flair match on Raw in quite a while. While Strowman won, we believe it elevated both the men involved here.

What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
