Batista opens the show with a very half hearted promo at the expense of the fans who in his words begged Batista to return, and then booed him. When confronted by Triple H, Batista claimed that the COO had lost his edge since marrying into the Mcmahon family (which was over a decade ago by the way). Triple H responded by claiming than the same had happened to Batista since returning from Hollywood, and that Animal was just back for the money. He then booked Sheamus against Batista for later in the night.
Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins pulled double duty at the request of Kane, first they defeated Jinder Mahal and Drew Mcintyre in a rushed match, before going over Ryback and Curtis Axel in a lively match with some impressive high spots.
Sin Cara once again pinned Damien Sandow in another useless squash.
Fandango upset Goldust following a distraction from Summer Rae and a hand full of tights. Goldust was a pro in this match doing all he could to put the youngster over.
Sheamus beat Batista vis DQ after taking a chain shot in a medicore match. Afterwards in order to prove than his Animal instincts were still alive Batista beat down Sheamus ending with a Batista bomb.
The Bellas defeated AJ Lee and Tamina when the heels once again had friction. The match was okay.
Santino and Emma had a mis-understanding of the term "Friends with Benefits" on their first date which led to Santino throwing up.
Jack Swagger won a quick match against Jimmy Uso via Submission.
Mark Henry pinned the Miz in a respectable big man vs. small man filler bout. Both men gave good showings here.
Bray Wyatt defeated The Big Show in a okay main event with assistance from the other Wyatt family members.
Best Match: Nothing was outstanding, will go for the Shield against Ryback and Axel.
Best Segment/Promo: Nothing really stands out this week.
Verdict: The B show was really going through the motions here, a overloaded card with none of the matches really raising above solid. Batista's performance on the night was a joke. Mania may go down as as great show, but the build up is becoming very predictable.
