Hornswoggle vs. El Torito - Funny, entertaining match. It was good for what it was, but the hate these kinds of matches get are actually more entertaining than the matches themselves.
Sheamus vs. Cesaro - Top-notch match-up. Both guys looked great. Sheamus pulling out the victory in the end was unexpected and a nice reminder that it's not always the big finishing moves that should end a match. Sometimes, veterans win with brains, not brawn.
Rhodes Bros. vs. Rybaxel - Decent match. It made Rybaxel look like a contender, considering they beat a team that was the Tag Champs a few months back. It also furthered the "slump" angle that is apparently pushing us to the breakup (and breakup feud) of the Rhodes Bros.
Rusev vs. Big E - Pretty good for a squash match. Both guys got to do what they needed to do. I'm not a big fan of "winning streaks" to start a career off, but they're doing it with Rusev, so this match had a foregone conclusion.
RVD vs. BNB - Very solid match. RVD hit his high spots and BNB got to come out on top and retain the title as he should have.
Cena vs. Wyatt - Very entertaining match. All of the action was of a high enough quality that I didn't mind the fact that Cena wins the rubber match. I don't know if this ends their feud, although I do think it's run its course.
Paige vs. Fox - Not a bad match, not a great match. I get the feeling they're saving a really good match from Paige (we know she can wrestle a good one) for a feud bigger than Alicia Fox, which is a disappointment since she is one of the few Divas who seems to have an actual personality.
Evolution vs. Shield - Epic match. I was shocked by the fact that all 3 members of Evolution were eliminated with no members of the Shield being eliminated. It put the Shield over bigger than anything else they've done. We'll see where they go from here.
D-Bry Segment was good. I'm honestly wondering if we find out soon that Brie is preggers with one of those weird-looking bearded babies.
Kane interrupting Kofi vs. Bo - We'll see what that whole thing meant, I guess.
Overall (and voted) score: 8/10.
