Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns vs. Cesaro and Sheamus:
Grade: 8/10
This was a solid tag bout between four talented competitors, and it was intriguing to see rivals Reigns and Owens team up, even if it was only to highlight their issues.
The tensions between teammates would be an overused theme throughout the night, but in this match, it worked well. It was great to see Cesaro mix it up with Reigns and Owens, and he certainly belongs in their position among the top superstars of Raw.
One little problem with this matchup, however, was WWE’s continued portrayal of Kevin Owens as a weak champion. Reigns, the US Champion, is constantly booked as superior to him, and Owens only got the win after being placed on top of Sheamus by Reigns.
Expect Owens to be eliminated before Reigns on Sunday, as it is obvious who WWE prefer out of the two men. Nothing against Reigns, who is a stellar wrestler, but WWE continue to book him as superior to their top champion on Raw.
Despite this misstep from Raw’s team in regards to Owens, this was a fun bout that had an intriguing dynamic, which is often missing on Raw.
