They showed Daniel Bryan and his wife Brie in the back. Sorry, I can't call her Brie Bryan. What will he do tonight?
It's time for Kofi Kingston to make Bo Dallas look strong. Jerry Lawler doesn't think Bo has earned a PPV match yet after two matches. JBL thinks he is inspirational.
Bo heeled the Blackhawk fans, saying they will lose but they don't have to be losers. Before the match started, pyro pops and out comes Kane. Neither guy runs but Kofi ran less. He tried to attack Kane but it didn't work out so well. Bo stayed away as Kane worked over Kofi and nailed a chokeslam. Then a tombstone. Bo stayed on the floor and watched. Kane left. The refs tended to Kofi. Bo came back in and told Kofi not to worry. You will be back on your feet in now time, better than ever. All you have to do it Bolieve. Bo didn't pin him though.
They cut to the announcers and they all had that nasty Mountain Dew. Very little was missing from any of their bottles.
They showed the finish of the embarrassing pre-show match and Horny being shaved bald.
Time for Rob Van Dam to take on Bad New Barrett for the IC Title. Barrett got a good pop coming out. Vince, people like guys that have an edge and kick ass. Note to you. ... Bad News says that RVD will not be leaving with his title, and someone needs to put Old Yeller down. He is going on a permanent summer vacation via the Bullhammer. He is BNB. ... Early on, the fans did dueling chants for the guys. There are 13,311 there. That doesn't sound great. Oh, I just checked and it's 3-2 Blackhawks.
RVD was in control early, tossing Barrett all around the ringside area. He then hit a spinning legdrop from the apron to the barricade and the fans chanted ECW. ... Barrett came back with a kick to the midsection as RVD came off of the top. Barrett then kicked him off of the apron to the floor, then hit an elbow to the "heart". RVD was bleeding from his mouth. RVD made it back to the ring and Barrett worked him over. ... RVD came back and was in control until he missed the Five Star. Barrett missed the Bullhammer but got a two. Barrett went for the Hammer on the floor but missed and hit the post. RVD jumped into the ring with a Tornado DDT from the apron, but only got a two. He went for the Split Legged Moonsault but Barrett got the knees up. He followed with the Bullhammer and got the pin to retain the Title. Good, physical match. There has been a lot of good wrestling on the show tonight.
Coming up, what will Daniel Bryan do? ... After a vignette, out came Steph, smiling. She did a promo asking if Daniel will do the right thing or force her to fire his wife. Come out Dan. He comes out with Brie. They are smiling. Steph was totally insincere. Daniel said it's an opportunity for her. The people hate here. But she said it doesn't change the fact that she is the boss. Dan said he will give her the opportunity to show she can doe the right thing. The fans chanted CM Punk so Steph said they want you to quit just like CM Punk did. OUCH! Give up the belt or I will fire up your wife. Bryan said he hoped Steph's kids were watching so they can see she is a....what Brie? A BITCH! Steph said Brie has the guts in the family. The only thing she has done is make a poor choice in a husband. Brie said that they both know what needs to be done. He got the belt ready to present. Brie said no. She said she refuses to be a powerless victim. You don't control me. Brie said you can't fire her, she quits. Steph laughed so Brie slapped her HARD in the face, and the fans chanted YES! Steph had a WTF look and skulked away as the fans chanted YES!
Time for Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena, Last Man Standing match.
Bray is out first. Good pop when he said, "Chicago, we're here." Before he even came out, they did the back and forth let's go, he sucks chants for Cena. It is split for him. He really needs to lose and in a way that isn't via the backdoor. ... Before the match, Rowan and Harper were giving Bray an advantage so out came the USOs. It's three on three. ... Cena started strongly but Bray took control early. After a few minutes, he went for Sister Abigail but Cena got out. Bray immediately took control again. Bray is in control of this one so far. Cena has struggled to get up and beat the ten count a few times thus far. ... Cena fought Bray off on the top and his his legdrop to the head to turn the tide. He wen for the AA but ran into Sister Abigail. The Usos begged Cena to get up. He did at 9. Cena hit an AA and got up at 5. Bray did his spider move at 7. Then Rowan came in and the Usos did too. Harper and one of the Usos did big spots on the floor, so the seconds are out. Bray hit Cena with a chair three times, knocking Cena to the floor. Cena hot up at 7 and then turned the table on Bray, using the chair on him. Cena then went under the ring and got two tables. Bray got up at 7 and fell back down. He was playing possum and went after Cena. John when to put Bray through a table but it got blocked. Bray suplexed Cena thru a table. Cena got up at 8 tho. Bray brought in the ring steps and blasted Cena in the head with them. He got the fans to sing for him as Cena tried to get up and did at 7. Bray went back and got the chair but Cena rallied and hit Bray with the ring steps. Then Bray went to the floor and Cena ran in the ring and threw them into Bray's head when he was on the floor. DAMN! Cool spot. They sold Bray was done, but he got up at 8. Cena went under the ring for more tables. The camera missed it but Cena got nailed by Sister Abigail on the floor (and Cena has blood on his chest). Cena came back on the floor and whipped Bray into the ring post. Cena went to do maybe a piledriver by Bray backdropped him in the steps. Bray then hit a senton off of the steps onto Cena, who was prone on the floor. Cena was coughing and they sold he couldn't breather. He did get up though. ... Bray went to use the chair but Cena hit an AA on the floor. Cena wet back in the ring when Rowan and Jarper attacked Cena and then went and picked Bray up. Then they attacked Cena. Man, I was loving this match until this happened. ... Rowan and Harper set up tables when the Usos ran from the back (they left????) and took out Rowan. The other Uso tried to come out of the ring when Harper met his head with a table. Ouch. The refs went nuts because Bray was down and the ref didn't notice, and Bray was done. The chaos distracted him. One of the Usos put Rowan through a table. The other went to the top with Harper, who suplexed him through a table on the floor. The crowd went nuts. All four guys are out again. So it's back to Cena and Bray. ... Cena went for an AA but Bray got out. Bray then did a running press on Cena, blasting him through the barricade. Cool spot. Both men got up at 7. And out they went into the crowd. They went over to the equipment area where Cena put Wyatt throw one of the big equipment boxes. Then he put another box on top of it and stood up on it, so Bray couldn't get out, until the ref counted 10.
This match was a paradox. In and of itself, it was a great, great match. It was fun to watch and they worked their asses off. But on the downside, I started to groan when Bray was down and the ref didn't see it. I said to myself that when Bray wins, it will be tainted. Little did I know things would have been better if that had happened. Cena should not have won here. It did no good. I helped no one. The guy that a lot of fans are sick of always winning won again. The guy that needed a big win to break through to the next level lost. I am already getting hate email about the finish of this match. What is wrong with you Vince? Why won't you get that the way you book Cena does more harm than good? If the guy was actually vulnerable from time to time, people would actually care MORE about him. Good Lord, that is all I can say.
