Emma vs Cameron
Not a match I was looking forward to,
but credit where it’s due I thought Cameron showed some nice aggression here.
She looked like she really disliked Emma, and getting boots up on the corner
cross body looked nicely timed. Emma takes a big bump to the floor when she
gets dumped attempting a tarantula. Emma gets the win though, when she gets a
small package after Cameron was distracted by taunting Naomi at ringside.
Short, but surprisingly effective.
Rybaxel vs Big E & Kofi Kingston
This is pre-New Day, but I think only
a week or two before they formed. This was really fun, Rybaxel had become a
legit good team at this point. Love Axel grape-vining a free arm with his legs
whilst holding Kofi in a side headlock. The inevitable Big E/Ryback big lads
face off is great, both guys move really well and it’s a fast paced little
segment filled with unlikely leapfrogs and nice rope running. Axel might well
be the MVP of the bout though, loved his running knee to the face of Big E and
the diving clothesline from the apron that makes E the face in peril. It leads
to a hot finishing run and a great end as Big E just hurls Axel upwards, he
bounces off the canvas and straight into Trouble In Paradise for the New Day
win. Great stuff.
Sheamus vs The Miz
This is right after the Miz came back
and was working the “money maker” defending his face schtick. Sheamus is a guy
who’ll totally blast you in the face, so this was a fun pairing. Miz works a
load of fun avoidance spots that lead to him taking more punishments, like not
being able to stop the 10 blows to the chest due to covering his face. Sheamus
happily works some meaty sounding body shots whilst Miz is concerned with his
face. This plays nicely to the end too, as Sheamus goes for the Brogue Kick,
Miz cowers with his face covers, and Sheamus locks in a really tight roll up to
win. Fun stuff.
