Dolph Ziggler & R Ziggler vs The Miz & Damien Mizdow
Here, R-Truth is cosplaying as Ziggler to counteract the
Miz/Mizdow duo. The face team is pretty unexciting in the early stages, so it’s
nice when Mizdow breaks their momentum with a headbutt to Ziggler. Liked Miz
ducking a superkick to protect his face, allowing Ziggler to roll him up for
two. Ziggler briefly plays face in peril, but makes the tag with no real build
up. Miz does a terrible job of selling the Fameasser, but Truth does manage to
hit Ziggler’s leaping DDT without the need for to slap Miz’s back, making it
much better looking. Truth hits a Lie Detector on Mizdow, but Miz is the legal
man, and he hits the Skull Crushing Finale to win.
Brie Bella vs Cameron
Surprisingly decent, albeit not particularly long. Both
women seem pretty aggressive to start, felt like they were actually battling
over moves. Loved the rolling crab Brie gets as Cameron runs the ropes. Cameron
gets a brief control that looks decent, hitting a standing splits legdrop and
working over Brie’s back. Bella comes back with a diving clothesline and a
facebuster to win. Genuinely decent stuff.
Big E vs Seth Rollins
They get a reasonable amount of time – just over fifteen
minutes – but unfortunately they don’t make the most of it. A lot of this match
sees Rollins in control, and he really drags it out. His beatdown is methodical
and not especially interesting, and he fills more time with two long chinlocks.
His standing enzuigiri looks nice, but it’s Big E who really impresses here.
Aside from his attempt at press-slamming Rollins from the floor to the ring –
where Rollins gets stuck in the ropes, and his eventual landing seems him fall
not very far – his stuff looks great. He catches a Rollins crossbody to hit
multiple backbreakers, he hits full-bodied corner charges, his overhead
belly-to-belly and standing splash are both great looking moves, and his spear
to the floor looks mental. In the end, Rollins throws him into the corner
twice, and the Curb Stomp gives him the win.
