#7. Big E won the match without pinning Kevin Owens on WWE RAW
Monday Night RAW kicked off with one of the biggest matches advertised for the show. WWE Champion Big E competed against Kevin Owens inside a Steel Cage in a non-title match.
Owens had a single plan in mind, and he ran for the door as soon as the bell rang. He kept trying to push Big E away and make it to the door before the action picked up.
Big E delivered a Spear to KO and crushed him against the cage. The WWE Champion punished his opponent by throwing him into the steel structure repeatedly.
Owens delivered some signature moves and tried to escape the cage by climbing to the top. After being unsuccessful, he settled for a moonsault from the top for a near fall.
The two men traded some top moves and attempted to escape the cage rather than put each other away with a pinfall. They tried to escape the cell towards the end of the match before Seth Rollins appeared out of nowhere and slammed the door in their faces.
KO went back on offense and hit a frog splash for another two-count. Just when it looked like he would pick up a win, Big E hit the Big Ending and walked out of the door to pick up the win. It was interesting to see that the WWE Champion walked out of the door rather than pin his opponent.
FEAT OF STRENGTH.
WINNER = @WWEBigE

With Day 1 coming up, WWE could be protecting him from a pin to put him down at the pay-per-view. After the match, Rollins attacked both men. However, Big E countered and stood tall to end the segment.
