Time for Paige vs. Alicia Fox. Alicia went crazy crying and dominated early. Paige came back and made Alicia tap out to her finisher. The fans weren't into it, maybe because they haven't given us a reason to care yet, or maybe they still had the taste of the Cena finish in their minds. ... After the match, Alicia was losing it and the fans chanted she tapped out. She then went nuts anyway.
Time for the main event. I hope it can get the taste of vomit that the Cena finish left in my mouth out. I am still pissed off about that finish 15 minutes after it happened. I am going to do a hotline tomorrow with my thoughts for the show because I don't want to get worked up before I try to go to bed. That is how angry I still am about Cena winning again. It's bullsh**.
I liked that The Shield came out second. Hopefully WWE doesn't blow the booking in this match too.
It went back and forth early until Roman Reigns faced off with Triple H. That resonated and Reigns looked good when they faced off. The Rollins got a two after hitting Three Amigos on HHH. ... Batista came in and took control in Ambrose. As an aside, Batista has a bizarre outfit on. He has on legguns and sleeves on his arms. Who doesnt' tell this guy that he is middle aged and a pro wrestler, not a 15 year old? ... Ambrose and H were both spent when they made the tags. Reigns and Batista came in and Reigns cleaned house on him, with a shot at H for good measure. Reigns got a two with the Superman punch but Orton broke the count. Reigns and Batista were out in the ring when H and Rollins went over to the tent area. Ambrose nailed Orton off of the apron but H nailed Rollins in the head with something. Reigns laid Batista out on the floor and went to taking apart the ringside announce table when Orton nailed him from the back. HHH threw Reigns into the ring steps while Orton cleared off the table. Reigns was on his own against the three as his partners were laid out. They did a triple powerbomb on Reigns through the Spanish announce table. Evolution mocked Reigns over the table when Ambrose came out of nowhere and took them out. Then Rollins did the same. Evo went to work on them while Reigns was still down. H did a Pedigree on Rollins on the chair. He turned around and Reigns had dragged himself in the ring. Evo went back. Reigns jumped at Batista but ate a spinebuster. Evo took off Reigns jacket and brought the sticks in. Orton got a kendo stick. They worked him over on the steps and lashed him with the canes. Reigns' back looked bad. He hit the Superman punch on Orton, but H attacked him right afterwards. H used a chair on Reigns, and he kept moving. Ambrose tried to make the save so Evo attacked him instead, using the numbers against them. Suddenly, Rollins was on top of the TitanTron and did a splash, taking all three guys out. Very cool. Rollins fought down the aisle and got to the ring. Batista came in after him and ater a Rollins boot. Rollins came off of the second rope but met a Batista spear. Batista went for the Bomb as the fans booed, but Rollins got out of it. Suddenly Roman was there for the spear and Rollins got the cover. 3-2 Shield.
Orton hit an RKO on Rollins but Roman broke it up at two. Ambrose came in with a chair and nailed Orton, then did Dirty Deeds for the three. It's HHH vs. The Shield. H did a nut shot on Ambrose and set up for the Pedigree but Roman his the Superman punch. Before there could be a cover BooTista came in and nailed Reigns. The fans were not happy. Orton didn't leave either, he grabbed the sledgehammer and gave it to HHH. He used it on Ambrose. He waited for Roman But Rollins came out of nowhere and hit him with a knee to the head. Reigns then hit a spear and got the pin. The Shield wins 3-0. The show went off the air with The Shield standing over HHH.
This was an excellent match and booked exactly as it should have been booked. Everyone looked good and in the end, the right guys won in the right way. It was the exact opposite of the finish of the Cena match.
Overall, the work on this show was outstanding. With the exception of one match, the booking was great. In a vacuum it was a great show. Of course, the show didn't take place in a vacuum and the finish of the Cena-Wyatt match was horrible, just horrible. But aside from that, this was a great show. Between this and NXT Takeover, the Network has been a bargain this week.
