#1 Finn Balor (w./Bayley) vs Jinder Mahal (w./Sunil Singh & Alicia Fox)

Image result for finn balor vs jinder mahal — This match showcased the Mixed Match Challenge.

Result: Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal via pinfall with a school boy roll up.

Grade: C+

Analysis: It is nice to see that WWE is showcasing the Mixed Match Challenge (it's also nice to see Finn Balor actually appear on Monday Night Raw). However, this was a pretty mediocre match. While Finn Balor tried his best to get something acceptable out of Jinder Mahal, Jinder Mahal kept lessening the quality of the match. It would be nice if he stopped relying on rest holds.

Thankfully, Jinder Mahal did not defeat Finn Balor because that would just be inexcusable. It was also nice that Bayley showed some fire. She took out Jinder Mahal, Sunil Singh, & Alicia Fox. However, would it be too much to ask for a clean victory for Finn? Hopefully, Bayley & Finn Balor will continue to gain momentum in the future.
