Big E didn't even get a lot of offence. He had a great comeback stretch right towards the end, which co-incidentally was the only time the crowd was alive during the match. Otherwise, Roman ate him alive during the match. Cesaro got more offence against Roman than Big E did, kicking out of the spear aside. To say nothing of the challengers against whom Roman needed outside help. This for the WWE champion, who needed to look as strong as possible so he could carry the Raw brand.
I think that is one reason why WWE should have more squashes. It's cuz the booking is such that pretty much no one looks good and like a badass star, especially top babyfaces. Literally the only way WWE will book you strongly is if you are a top heel in charge of a stable. It's like it's the only trope they remember. There is such a complete dearth of cool faces, it's mind-boggling.
