Dean Ambrose vs. The Miz: They set it up with footage of what happened on Main Event.
Ambrose was over big with the crowd. Damien Mizdow continually
attempted to interfere. Miz came close to winning a few times thanks to
it, but Ambrose eventually pulled it out with Dirty Deeds. Right as Dean
was winning, Seth Rollins and Kane came down. They brawled for a minute
before Ambrose grabbed the briefcase and ran off with it.
Battle royal for Intercontinental title shot:
Only Cesaro and Jack Swagger were given entrances. They had a weird
number of guys in, like 11 or 12. They worked to a final five with Kofi
Kingston, Bo Dallas, Cesaro, Swagger, and Damien Mizdow. They all ganged
up on Mizdow and he was eliminated quickly after they collectively set
their sights on him. There was a terrible botch that didn't get edited
out and Swagger almost killed Kofi. Not long after, Cesaro eliminated
them both to win.
Star & Goldust vs. The Usos for tag team titles:
The challengers got the edge early but the champions regained the
advantage. At one point, Stardust was laying into Jey Uso on the outside
and he was screaming, "WHERE'S THE KEY, COLE?!?" Michael Cole wondered
aloud what he was talking about, considering the idea was the tag team
titles represented the cosmic key. Maybe not. They set up for Jimmy Uso
to get a hot tag and he ran wild, nearly killing Stardust with a suplex
that had him landing on his head and neck. The Usos did a Doomsday
Device that was about to get a pin but Goldust made the save with a belt
shot to force a disqualification.
Summer Rae & Layla vs. Natalya & Rosa Mendes:
This week they've working Total Divas storylines into the show. Summer
and Natalya drew ratings for another physical confrontation on the show,
so they had them work a tag match here while the commentary team put
over the show and the angles played out on it. No wonder Vince McMahon
can't stand this nonsense. It's nonsensical. They made a big deal about
Rosa getting into the match and she made two clotheslines and a dropkick
look absolutely awful. She sold death on a kick to the head and then
the match broke down into chaos. Layla ultimately rolled Rosa up for the
pin and victory.
Cesaro vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental title:
A decent match but a weird finish. Cesaro was working a powerbomb
before Ziggler reversed into a sunset flip pinfall. Cesaro grabbed the
bottom rope before the three count but the referee was out of position,
so Ziggler retained the title. The announcers made sure to make a big
deal about this, noting that Ziggler stole one. Everyone did good here.
Rusev vs. Big Show:
This was the main event. Big Show got his stuff in but this was about
getting heat on Rusev. He got most of the offense in but Show was set up
to win late after a choke slam. Then Lana grabbed at his ankle and
climbed in the ring to distract him. Rusev took advantage with the
Russian flag and hit Show for the disqualification. He tried to hit Show
with another big superkick but Show caught it and used the advantage to
hit the KO punch. The announcers flipped out over this, as did the
crowd, and it felt like a genuinely big deal. This was great.
