OFFICIAL RESULT: Fandango @ 4:00 via pin
MATCH THOUGHTS: I did like that they treated both guys as heels, since that is how they’ve been portrayed lately. We haven’t had much of a reason to care about either guy, and I’m not sure this really made me care anymore. The match was decent though. I would call it nothing inoffensive but nothing earth shattering either. Rose seemed to job in this one, so maybe that is a sign of ending The Bunny Adam Rose feud.

MATCH THOUGHTS: This was pretty good for a Layla match. She only botched once and the match didn’t feel that long. Layla rarely impresses me in the ring, but she did better than usual. She did seem to hurt herself on the headscissors though falling to the outside of the ring. Nevertheless, good work from both ladies.

MATCH THOUGHTS: Kane has definitely lost a step, but Dean Ambrose brought the best out of him. This was a good way to end the show.

FINAL THOUGHTS: The opening match was good and furthered the Mizdow/Miz story. The Fandango and Adam Rose match was just kind of there. I like the continuity in the Natalya and Layla match. They acknowledged that Nattie and Summer hate each other and they should. The match itself was better than I expected. Kane and Dean Ambrose ended the show on a positive note, so thanks to everyone who read the recap!
