How can you complain about a main event featuring Chris Jericho and Sami Zayn? The internet fans will love it and it gives the casual fans a chance to really begin to understand Zayn and his abilities in the ring. The great thing for Sami is that he is immediately in a feud with a guy who has made such a big impact from day 1. Kevin Owens beat John Cena. Kevin Owens has feuded with some big names and has feuded with fan favorites like Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler. The connection for fans is there.

At the end of this main event, you saw an excellent match and WWE giving us the development of two completely different feuds. Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose is new and in its early stages. There is not much backstory there. For Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, there is so much great history to work off of. These two pairing should get you excited for the next few months of television. Two weeks of solid programming. What is the difference? WWE is focusing on their full-time talents, their “young” stars and developing a roster from top to bottom where there will be limited garbage segments.
