Sami Zayn’s back gave out on him time and again in this match. When he could not run for the Helluva Kick, Drew McIntyre blasted him with a Claymore to win.
Afterward, The Scottish Warrior kept beating down Zayn until Jey Uso came out again to make the save.
The Bloodline arrived to take out Jey and Zayn to stand tall at the end of the night. McIntyre just walked away.
This was a match on a different level to the rest of the night for obvious reasons.
Playing off everything McIntyre and Zayn had said in the opening segment, this was a brawl between an injured man and a dangerous hunter.
While The Ultimate Underdog kept the pace up to stay in the action for a while, it was clear The Scottish Warrior was too much for him.
McIntyre made clear that Zayn had never beaten him, giving extra motivation for the audience to root for The Ultimate Underdog, but this was not the right time for that to change.
The Scot has set the stage for a match with Jey Uso that could be brutal and allow him to elevate his game against one of the best in the business right now in McIntyre.
