Clash of Champions 2019: 5 questions from this year’s pay-per-view

#2 Was Sami Zayn the highlight during Nakamura vs The Miz?

This was a storyline that felt a little too rushed at a time when WWE struggled to find something for Shinsuke Nakamura to do at Clash of Champions.

The Miz stepped into the feud and became the challenger to Nakamura’s Intercontinental Championship. With Sami Zayn at ringside proving to be a fitting mouthpiece for Nakamura, it felt like little could go wrong in this star-studded feud.

However, creative managed to bungle another feud involving Nakamura, as there was little in-ring chemistry between The Artist and The A-lister. The match dragged on and Zayn had most of the spotlight for the bout, which made the champion and challenger look redundant.

The Miz continued his big-match losing spree, while Nakamura continued to deliver half-hearted performances, as fans wondered whether WWE is using the two men to their full potential or not.

Zayn, on the other hand, proved to be the Lio Rush to Nakamura’s Bobby Lashley, where the mouthpiece received much more of the spotlight than the champion himself.

This show has been absolutely insufferable other than Sami Zayn doing his best Lio Rush impersonation #WWEClash
