MATCH THOUGHTS: I’m not sure how I feel about another Rusev Swagger feud. We’ve seen that already, but this match was decent for what it was. I always found Titus to be decent for a typical hoss and Swagger can definitely go in the ring. This led to a good match to start Main Event.

Renee is with Swagger after the match. The feed freezes for a second. Well, I missed the whole interview after just a few seconds. Michael Cole tells people to vote for the Slammys this Saturday. The feed freezes again for some reason.

Goldust breaks up the pin but Rose throws him out. Stardust uses the distraction to hit Dark Matter. 1..2..3.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Dust Brothers @ 5:00 via pin
MATCH THOUGHTS: This match was about as good as you would expect. The announcers focused more on pushing The Dust Brothers and New Day along with The Bunny and Adam Rose story-lines. The work was good for what it was. I would call it nothing inoffensive.

Goldust stomps The Bunny into the ground. Stardust laughs at this and taunts both Rose and The Bunny.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Fandango @ 3:00 via pinfall
MATCH THOUGHTS: This match wasn’t bad or anything but too short to mean anything. I guess at least Rosa was out there dancing in the background. Nonetheless, this was a good way to showcase Fandango whether it works or not.

MATCH THOUGHTS: Damien Mizdow was gold during this match and the camera man made sure to catch most of it. This was a fun match if nothing else. I really enjoyed this one due to Damien Mizdow. The match itself was good too. This was a great way to end the night.

FINAL THOUGHTS: The opening Jack Swagger and Titus O’Neil match was a pretty good short match. The Fandango and Dust Brothers matches were just kind of there. The Jimmy Uso and Miz match was an entertaining spectacle. This was a middle of the road episode of Main Event, but the main event is worth the watch if you like Mizdow. Nonetheless, decent show and thanks to all of you who read the recap.
