Sandow and Big E lock up and Sandow takes control. Big E throws him off and takes over with a big judo type throw and a headlock takeover. Sandow gets a leg scissors and Big E pops out. He goes for a scoop slam but Sandow spins out and lands behind him. Big E counters THAT and throws Sandow into the corner and hits a big spear in the corner. It’s only a two count. He throws a few strikes and gets Sandow near the ropes but Sandow takes over. He goes for a suplex but can’t get it and Big E hits one instead. He covers and it’s only a two. Big E fights Sandow into the corner and hits a few body blows. He tosses him out of the corner and Sandow goes halfway across the ring. He throws a few strikes but Sandow fights back.

COMMERCIAL BREAK! DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!
We come back and Sandow’s in a cover and only gets a two. He continues to lay down strikes ahnd then gets up to his feet and hits a big old standing elbow drop. He then begins laying in punches and once again locks in that rear chinlock. Big E fights to his feet. He rams Sandow into the corner.

Sandow gets Big E into the corner again and starts beating on him. He runs at him in the corner but Big E comes out with a huge line! Straps are down! Big Ending! 1! 2! 3!
OFFICIAL RESULT: Big E @ 8:00 via pinfall (Big Ending)
RATING: **½
Thoughts: This was a nice little match. I find it odd that two weeks in a row now, Big E has been on Superstars when he’s got this IC Title tournament going on. It was a good showcase though and Sandow looked strong. I’d like to see him win eventually though. I do love that man and I really thought he was poised for something great after the Cena match.
Lawler interviews Big E after the match and says that was a big win. He asks him about Big E’s thoughts on the remaining superstars in the tournament. He wants to know if Big E has anyone he wants to face. Big E says he has people lining up around the block but he wants the best of the best. There’s an old saying that iron sharpens iron and to be the best he has to beat the best. He says at Extreme Rules he will walk in IC champion and walk out IC champion. He holds up the belt and his music hits.

The two lock up in the middle of the ring and Titus powers Kofi into the corner. The ref makes them break and Kofi comes charging out. He ducks a line and then ducks a boot and hits a dropkick to Titus. Kofi goes for a monkey flip but Titus shoves him off and hits a big boot. He picks Kofi up and just chops him right in the chest. Titus whips Kofi into the corner and begins laying the boots to Kofi. Titus gets a hold on Kofi’s left arm and begins working it over but Kofi counters with a jaw breaker. He goes to slide under Titus’ legs but Titus deadlifts him off the ground and just tosses him. That gets a 2 count so Titus begins to punch Kofi in the head. He hits a big short arm clothesline and Kofi hits hard. We get a few dog barks for our troubles. I love the dog barks. LOVE THEM.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Kofi Kingston @ 5:00 via pin fall (Trouble in Paradise)
RATING: **
Thoughts: These past two weeks have really started to sell me on Titus O’Neil. I truly believe that if they used him, he could have a future. He’s got the size, the look, and the move set. At this point, it’s entirely up to WWE to pull the trigger. I enjoyed this match and Titus looked super strong for the second week in a row.
