WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for February 6

Rock & Roll Express to the Hall of Fame

If I can fantasy book their induction speech, Ricky Morton should speak for the first three quarters of the speech. He should get more and more tired, and start to falter, before he finally turns it over to Robert Gibson who takes it home.

WWE United States Championship Match

Sami Zayn vs. Chris Jericho (c) (w/ Kevin Owens)

Result: Chris Jericho defeated Sami Zayn via pinfall

Rating: 3.0 out of 5 stars

Probably not the best thing for Sami Zayn, Team Chris and Kevin seemed to put their tussle on the backburner. With the best friends on the same page, the mountain Sami needed to climb is just a bit higher.

What’s great about Sami Zayn, though, is how he uses all of those kinds of little things to influence his matches. Perhaps sensing the uphill battle, he was a lot more aggressive than usual. If it’s a two on one kind of situation, the best thing to do is come out with guns a-blazing.

Of course, Sami always ends up eating a ton of punishment for various reasons, so Jericho takes over at some point during the commercial break. Sami starts his trademark comeback, and a look of sheer panic envelops Kevin Owens, because he’s concerned for his best friend.

So Owens decides to help out his friend, because he’s got his back. Zayn manages to break the Walls of Jericho by getting to the ropes, but KO superkicks him in the face. A Codebreaker later, and the #61MinuteMan retains his title – just like I wrote last week.

This “win non-title match, lose title match” thing they do with challengers is overplayed more than “Closer” by The Chainsmokers. Find some other way to build feuds, writers.
