WWE Main Event 01/04/2014

Been away for a couple of weeks watching the Euros in France, so thought it best to get something posted quickly. Not coming back to the best episode of Main Event however, as most of the show is dedicated to WMXXX hype, with only two matches on the show. Not a banner episode, I'm afraid

Sheamus vs The Miz
Good dynamic between these two here, Sheamus being the big, overwhelming face and Miz being the smaller sneakier heel. Loved some of Sheamus’ offence here, like his catching a boot attempt from the Miz and just pushing him backwards. Miz takes a big bump as Sheamus fallaway slams him into the ringside barricades. Sheamus is dominant for the opening parts of this match, with Miz unable to gain a prolonged advantage, until Miz is finally able to post Sheamus and cause some real harm. Miz isn’t great offensively, but Sheamus sells it well enough to carry this portion of the match. Wasn’t a big fan of Miz going for a 2nd corner clothesline in the match, as it pretty much telegraphed that he was going to miss. Sheamus wins a decent bout with the Brogue Kick.

Tamina vs Nikki Bella

This wasn’t so good. This is before Nikki got really good and started throwing big shots, whilst Tamina has never really put it together. Nikki’s offence looks shaky early on, with her leaping corner kick and a flying headscissors not looking crisp. I did enjoy Tamina on the outside attacking Brie Bella unprovoked, before getting in a pretty much squashing Nikki with a superkick and a top rope splash. The dominant clean win was a surprise, the match being bland was not.
