| MITB Ladder match participants, Bryan, Kane, Orton, RVD, CM Punk, Sheamus, Christian |
Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs Christian, Jimmy and Jay Uso
Rollins and Jay Uso start this one off with Rollins jumping on the quick attack, hammering Jay Uso to the ground and out of nowhere Jay Uso hits Rollins with a big forearm after coming off the ropes and that leads to Jay Uso getting the 1 count. Rollins makes the tag to Ambrose, Jay Uso somehow gets the upper hand again, the Usos and Christian tag in and out effectively to keep Ambrose isolated until Ambrose turns the tables on Christian. Jimmy Uso gets in and battles Ambrose in the middle of the ring until Jimmy Uso hits Ambrose with a devastating super kick, Christian gets the tag does the same time. And Christian is on fire immediately, taking down Rollins a number of times and out of know where a big kick to the head from Rollins and Ambrose gets tagged back in and rolls Christian up for the 3 count off a cheap shot from Rollins.
The shield gained well deserved retribution on Christian, Jimmy and Jay Uso after losing to them last week on Smackdown, this one was a pretty average 6 man tag match and that is something we don't so too often if the Shield are involved
Backstage with Bryan and Kane
Daniel Bryan confronts Kane about what happened earlier in the ring but Kane doesn't want to hear it, Bryan then goes on to say "I got you a re match with Orton with me as the special guest referee", Kane's face is a picture and he doesn't look impressed at all.
Dolph Ziggler vs Jinder Mohall
This one went on longer than I thought It would of, It was a good contest with Mahal beating Ziggler down for a while until Ziggler landed a beautiful drop kick and gained momentum to then zig Zag Mahal for the win, whilst Ziggler celebrates this good win 3MB jump in the ring for the attack and Ziggler out smarts them with his speed and manages to Zig Zag Macintyre, Ziggler pumped the crowed.
It will be very interesting to see how Ziggler does with this run as a baby face, he has all the attributes to achieve good things as a baby face plus he is much appreciated and accepted by the IWC and also with casual Wrestling fans. All that is left now is for him to split form AJ and Big E
Backstage with Vickie, Brad Maddox and HHH
HHH tells Vickie she is doing a wonderful job and that she should listen to the McMahan's and let them get it all out and then don't do anything they say because you do what HHH says.
Randy Orton vs Kane
In the ring Bryan is laying the law down to Randy Orton. Kane had the advantage from the get go in this one with Daniel Bryan as the special guest referee, Daniel Bryan DQS Orton for shoving him but Kane persuades him to restart and Bryan agrees, Daniel Bryan distracts Orton whilst Kane is stunned and when he comes around Kane big boots Orton and that leads to a fast count from Bryan for the victory Kane became frustrated with Bryans unfairness and threatened him with a choke slam but then he pulls away, it was a slow match but Daniel Bryan kept things intriguing and he was a great addition to the match. Is there anyone hotter in the business right now? Daniel Bryan is a great talent, he is as good as it gets right now and I think he is showing that in his performance in the ring and on the mic.
Backstage with Paul Heyman, CM Punk and Curtis Axel
Punk is adamant he doesn't want anyone's help and he tells them that all Axel has to do is just watch and Heyman says he gets it all apart from the hostility with him backstage, Punk goes on to say ok Paul you I trust him I don't , Heyman then asks Punk to trust his better judgment in trusting Curtis Axel.
Fandango vs Sheamus
Fandango makes his glittery entrance and straight away outcomes Sheamus, Fandango starts off by dodging Sheamus to do a dance move twice, Sheamus then imitates Fandango and here we go Sheamus with the battering attack and then a suplex for a 2 count. Fandango gains momentum by reversing the Irish whip into a kick to the chest and not long after Sheamus is back on top, Fandango leaves the ring for a breather. And now Fandango is the aggressor taking it to Sheamus, Sheamus battles out and feeds off the crowd to do his comeback that leads to Fandango taking the count out.
Miz vs Ryback
Y2J takes his place on commentary whilst Miz and Ryback make there ways to the ring. Miz attacks the leg of Ryback trying to work the injury but Ryback is too strong and he consistently powers Miz around the ring, Miz kicks Ryback out of the way but Miz is cut off emedietly by Ryback. Ryback now has Miz grounded under the ropes chocking him in front of Y2J, Miz had enough of Ryback smashing him in the head and Miz is fired up and takes it to Rybacks injured leg again and Ryback calls the match off due to the injured leg.Y2J is in the ring and he hits in his words Cry back with a Code breaker.
Promo
Mark henry says "my name is Mark Henry and im known as the strongest man in the world and I earned it", Mark Henry goes on to say he earned to be here and there is too much politics and he is here because of him and they never gave him a legitimate shot, he then says "I pretended to like the boys and I did the right thing for the business and it got me nowhere damn I deserve to be the WWE Champion". This is an interesting promo, Mark Henry goes on to says he is going to do the right thing and that no one will be able to deny him,
It was a very tense promo from mark Henry and it felt as though he meant every word he said.
Backstage with Vickie, Brad Maddox and Vince McMahan
Vince approaches the pair of em and he questions them about Daniel Bryan and he asks Vickie why she isn't listening to him, Vince says he likes the main event but "it should be on PPV you are throwing money away what are you doing", then threatens Vickie and then he leaves. The serge for power continues and it looks like we are getting old school and hopefully a heel Vince.
CM Punk and Curtis Axel vs P2P
Punk wanted to start the match , but Axel did the heel thin g by tagging in. They argued. Punk wanted the tag . Axel was reluctant to do it. P2P gained the momentum and grounded Axel in the corner, the crowed was dead for most of this, After a few minutes Axel made the hot tag to Punk the crowed suddenly woke up. Punk was on fire hitting a number of his top moves including the neck breaker, the flying elbow and the GTS and at that point Axel tagged himself in to pinch the win off Punk.
Heyman wanted a team celebration but pun k decided to leave by him self.
A very useful match to build the story of Punk, Lesnar, Heyman and Axel and I feel they are doing so v effectively. They Axel very wisely although it takes him away from the fude with Miz a little but at the end of the day he is used only as Lesnars sub.
Kaitlin vs Alicia Fox
A decent suplex by fox for the 2 count and a nice flipping leg drop and then Kaitlin hit a spear to win the match.
AJ and Big E appear on the stage in an attempt to humiliate Kaitlin again this time by showing images of Kaitlin modelling but they have put Kaitlin's head on a fat women's body.
Backstage segment
Backstage Stephanie confronts Vickie and tells her about the poor job she has been doing of late and , Vickie tells Stephanie its difficult when you have 3 people telling you different things all the time you don't know which way to go, Stephanie tells Vickie she relates to her having done the job before in her career and then Vickie tires to be funny and attempts to suck up to her. Stephanie ends the segment by telling Vickie she will be evaluated next week to determine if she gets fired or promoted.
The segment started off well but I was disappointed to find out that we are going to have another job evaluation, just sack it off already and hire Brad Maddox as the gm,Maddox is too good to be an assistant and he would suite the job role so well with his personality.
Rhodes vs Cesaro
Cody Rhodes was all suited up for a match as him and Damian Sandow made there way to the ring.Cody Rhodes said that they will both be in MITB natch for a shot at the World title and there friendship will still be intact.
Cesaro made his way to the ring with his manager Zeb Colter, who delivered his usual style of promo complaining about the government and he also welcomes back Jack Swagger. Colter said that if your against them you will fail.
Cesaro had control early on, but he then was countered with a pin-fall attempt while his feet where on the ropes. Cesaro dropped him with an uppercut shot. JBL said that now Cesaro is with Colter hue is learning Dutch. Cody Rhodes wanted a backslide but Cesaro counters it into the neutralizer to win the match.
I was too happy when this match was announced because of it been heel vs Heel we don't see it too often but it was a pleasant suprize, A pretty decent match.
John Cena vs Alberto Del Rio
This was a not for either Championship. Things where even early on, But then Cena missed a corner attack and he went shoulder first into the steel ring post.Double axe by Del Rio got the 2 count as the kids cheer for Cena, Del Rio misses a charge towards the ropes and he ended up crashing to the floor.
Del Rio went for a move off the top rope, but Cena countered with a dropkick to the ribs. Cena goes for his vintage shoulder tackle but Del Rio side steps him and hits him with the backstabber for the 2 count.they went back and forth for a while in a pretty good match, Mark Henry scours the ring to knock Cena off his game and Ziggler climbs to the top to distract Del Rio and in doing so he costs Del Rio the match by Cena doing the Attitude adjustment for the win. .
Mark Henry stalks the ring and Cena before grabbing the WWE Championship and he then enters the ring and throws the title at Cena.
Raw went off the air to a disturbing Bray Wyatt video package and the sound of the commentators hyping them up.
