Nia looked more comfortable in her role (and I agree the end was wrong). Stroman and Reigns both looked good. Neville and Mary Poppins had a great match. Big Show moved around better than he has in probably a decade.
I guess my question is, besides Roman, who can you push as a face right now under the age of 40? {Jericho/Goldberg will be the face obviously on his way out} I guess Balor if he doesn't end up with the Club. I just can't see Zayn as the #2 face on RAW.

They're handling Zayn correctly at the moment so that he can be built into the #2, or even #1, face down the road. You can't push Roman as a face because 65% of the crowd hates him on a good night.
Balor was correctly slotted as the top face and his injury was lousy luck for the brand. Rollins could be the top face but they haven't booked him well as one and he's gotten injured twice now. Maybe they realize that fans want to cheer Strowman right now and give him a run as a monster babyface before he turns on someone like Balor or Rollins?
The biggest problem is that Vince doesn't seem to know how to make a true babyface anymore. Daniel Bryan happened to him and he fought it every step along the way. Bayley's lack of integrity about the way she won the women's title is a perfect illustration of him/his writers not understanding what decent people do. Zayn is probably the last hope right now for a true babyface.
