That was one of the most clever ways I ever seen a rope break being utilized. I didn't see his foot was there the entire time and I nearly lost my shit. Well played Yeah, for a second I thought Neville actually won and I was like holy shit!

Fantastic stuff. I couldn't understand why the ref stopped counting after the Red Arrow. Never saw Rollins foot on the rope. Such a clever rope break. I love Neville, he would make a great IC champ if given a proper run and storyline.

Great match, I feel like it really solidified Neville as a main roster guy having him take the champ to the limit. Now they just need to follow up on it and give him a strong middle of the card type of push with consistent feuds and storylines. It makes me a lot more interested to see what him and Cody can do at SummerSlam.

Heck, if Cena wasn't currently out of action, I'd want a rematch between him and Neville and have that be how Cena's US Title run ended.

That rope break was amazing. My heart sank when the refs hand came down for the third count. It was like half an inch from the mat...

Admit something good happened on Raw and lose cool points among the masses? Never!!
But seriously, it was a match that drawn in the most cynical fan into the drama with some Kurt Angle in his prime near pinfall kickouts and a compete referee.

Add me to the list that was pleasantly surprised. Finally got around to watching Raw tonight and it's amazing what a hot match with an equally hot crowd can do.
As others have said that rope break was nothing short of brilliant, I knew Neville wasn't gonna win, and also wanted a Jericho/HHH moment, but I was hooked regardless. That sinking feeling when Rollins hit the pedigree meant they had me fully invested. Like for a second you forget about it being staged and scripted and just hope that the hope you have is enough to make it happen. Great stuff.
