Goldust vs Alberto Del Rio
Quick little match, but a fun one. Goldust is fired up after
ADR beat Cody on the previous Raw, but this costs him as the referee has to
separate them in the corner, giving Del Rio an opening. Del Rio keeps control
but maybe takes too long to set up a superkick (including taking down his
kneepad, which I’m sure doesn’t help a superkick). Goldust blocks and hits a
leg screw, before hitting the Final Cut for the unlikely win.
Paige vs Alicia Fox
Pretty heated to start, few nasty sounding strikes on the
apron before Paige ranas Fox to the floor. Nice big boot to the face by Fox.
Love the two of them really battling over a suplex before Paige turns it into
the Rampaige for the win. This was pretty choice.
Bad News Barrett vs Kofi Kingston
Another really quick bout tonight. Loved the superkick to
the midsection of Kofi, which lifts him into the air. Kingston is still a guy
with floaty light offence that never looks particularly good. The match ends
with them outside, with Kingston trying to leap off the steps, only to fly right
into a Bullhammer. Barrett rolls him in for the academic pin.
Sheamus vs Bray Wyatt
Wyatt, for all his faults, is a guy unafraid to have a big
fight with a guy, and Sheamus is always happy to oblige, so it’s no surprise
that this is pretty good. Loved Sheamus just grabbing Wyatt by the beard and
punching him in the face. Wyatt’s senton always looks crushing, and I loved him
trying a second time, only to land on Sheamus’ knees. Sheamus was fired up
here, with a running knee into the corner having so much momentum he flew out
onto the apron. Sheamus gets a few close nearfalls from White Noise and the
Irish Curse, but with Wyatt due to face Cena at the next PPV, he was always
going to win here. The end sees Sheamus try to Brogue Kick an interfering Luke
Harper from the apron, only to get caught up on the top rope and Sister Abigail
finishes. Great match.
