Sami Zayn defeated Jevon Evans to retain the WWE Championship.WWE Raw:“.
Zayn came down to the ring for a promo about his lack of respect as WWE Champion, mentioning how Trick Williams, who will challenge for his title on Friday’s “WWE SmackDown,” as well as CM Punk and Je’Von Evans.
This prompted Evans to come down to the ring to exchange words with Zayn, ending with the champion trying to take a timeout before Adam Pearce announced that he was going to defend the title against Evans immediately.
Evans started the match with the upper hand, looking to prove a point against the veteran. He dropped Zayn with a Red Dot dropkick, going to the cover for a two count. He came almost as close with a spin attempt and subsequent frog splash. But as he looked to end the match, Zayn rolled out of the ring and appeared to be leaving.
Penta’s music hit and Mr. Money in the Bank came out with the referee backing Zayn into the ring. Evans dropped Zayn as he came back, going for the closest cover of the match. But then Braun Breaker ran down the ramp to take out Penta. Evans flew in to wipe out the Breaker, springboarding back into the ring after Zayn, but was missing.
Zayn sent Evans into the corner with an Explosive, following up with a Helluva Kick for the pinfall win and the title retention.
