Talk about a physical battle, one that featured so many spots but continued the pacing and wrestling that we are accustomed to see with Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. I really enjoyed this for a few reasons. Is there a match or moment since Rollins’ face turn that he did not look like a face 100 percent of the time. This was his shining moment, almost overcoming so much brutality and punishment. How about the strength he showed with his powerbomb from Owens through tables? You saw him physically drained, but never stopping getting that big moment. At the end of the night, Seth Rollins looks like a bigger star, Kevin Owens looks like a strong champion (still winning as a heel) and Chris Jericho remains a wild card in a feud that I would not mind continuing into 2017. The last piece will be Triple H. When will it be time for Seth Rollins to play the game?
