Evan’s thoughts: Wow! What a match! The fans busted out the “FIGHT FOREVER” chants and I couldn’t help but agree. Almost impossible to keep up with all the highlights for this one. Not the biggest fan of The Miz getting the win but at least the Owens-Zayn feud is going to continue. Hands down, match of the night so far.
