MATCH OF THE NIGHT: The Miz vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor

The main event of this week's RAW featured a Triple Threat match to determine the #1 contender for Dean Ambrose's WWE Intercontinental Championship. The star power on this match is quite impressive already, but the rhythm these guys had during the entire match and the original and awesome moves they produced made the whole match even better. Definitely the best match of the night, that saw two interferences from Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt, attacking Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor, respectively, and allowing The Miz to pick up the victory. Awesome booking that allowed Miz to keep him heel momentum, while giving Rollins and Bálor a story to work from now on.

The Miz, Finn Bálor and Seth Rollins wrestled a Triple Threat to determine the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Title.


MVP OF THE NIGHT (Honorable Mention):

Bray Wyatt: The "Eater of Worlds" got in the face of GM Kurt Angle and warned him this is his world. Later the night, Wyatt made him presence felt in the main event by attacking Finn Bálor and costing him an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship. Good way to keep the momentum gained in the "House of Horrors" on Sunday night.

Bray Wyatt got in the face of Kurt Angle and made sure the GM knew this is his world.


MVP OF THE NIGHT: The Miz

I thought a lot about who should be the MVP of the Night, but in the end I have to say The Miz. The "A-Lister" was the biggest winner of the night, leaving a main event full of star power victorious, and with the #1 contendership for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Glad to see The Miz is keeping the good work he did on SmackDown Live.

The Miz and Maryse celebrate Miz's victory on RAW.
