This match is extremely great for an opener. Actually makes Morrison look credible to be up there main-eventing tbh.

Still in the first match.

True it is early but hopefully they continue this theme throughout the night. Talking less and not yelling should be the goal for them this week.

Failed Hurricana that ended up looking like a Hurricana STO.

Yeah i know that Vince wants the big money in Mexico. But i just hope that his focus on money doesnt come first to his superstars' safety. Mexico has many problems right now.

They have toured there before and I am sure that WWE would only go to safe areas and wouldn't put anyone at risk.

Yeah they are making Morrison look very good tonight. He has had some near falls so far in which i thought he was going to win.

Del Ro to get the win soon.

Really good opener and Morrison is being put over like a star.

Went for Starship pain, Del Rio moves but Morrison lands on his feet nice.

Del Rio just made Morrison tap but Morrison comes out of that match looking really good.

Missed Starship Pain gives Del Rio the advantage to throw him into the steel post and the cross arm bar for the victory.

Amazing opener, really entertaining match

There actually calling the match wait till it's a match they think nobody cares about like a diva match or ziggler.

Perhaps the announcing was a part of the bullying complaint they got into over the weekend?

Post-match, Del Rio continues to hold onto the armbar.

Del hooks in the arm submission and picks up the win.

Even though Morrison lost he still looked strong tonight.

Del Rio hooks in the submission move again after the match.

True this was a WWE title match so they will pay it more attention than they would a lesser match. Divas are up next, Eve vs. Brie Bella, so let's see how they go for this match.

Kelly Kelly and Eve out tonight. I'm going to say they face Divas of Doom.

the NOC poster / advertisement looks rushed or done in Paint.

Looks dud to me. Thoughts?
