Briefcase time. Seth Rollins came out first, announced at 217 pounds. RVD was next. Followed by Swagger. Then Dolph. RVD and Dolph both got nice pops. I have no idea what kind of pop Kofi got since the Roku went back to the home screen for the fourth time. The laptop is loading. Ambrose was last and attacked Rollins immediately. It's on. Kofi did lots of spots in the beginning and went up to get the case. Ambrose came out of nowhere and pushed him off and Kofi turned it into a springboard spot on the guys on the floor. That is why he is in this bout. Ambrose went up for the case but Rollins came in and they faced off. The crowd is behind Ambrose. Ambrose his a nasty double arm suplex onto a ladder on Rollins and went up the ladder, but Swagger stopped him. That led to lots of violence with the guys until it came down to RVD and Rollins. The fans cheered for RVD. And then they chanted ECW. RVD put Rollins on a ladder and did Rolling Thunder. The fans chanted "You Still Got it". Then he hit a Five Star on Swagger. He wnet up for the case and should have had it but he had to wait for Kofi, he knocked him off. Kofi, RVD and Swagger were the three in the ring. Swagger and RVD were up on the high ladder when RVD knocked him off. RVD was about six feet away from the briefcase and was about to jump for it when Rollins stopped it. Rollins and Swagger turned it into a nasty powerbomb from near the top of the ladder. Ambrose then hopped to the top of the high ladder and did a nasty superplex on Rollins and the crowd chanted holy....well you know. Sick spot.
To try and back up the stream I tried logging in on my other laptop and three different browsers gave me "Media Error: Video Not Available. Hope the Roku holds up.
Swagger tried to climb the ladder but RVD stopped him. Rollins and Ambrose then came in and stopped them, then climbed the ladder, where they fought. Ambrose knocked Rollins down and the crowd was psyched but Swagger came in, so Ambrose hit a DDT off of the ladder. Rollins came in and tried to climb up, but Ambrose knocked him off the ladder. They sold that Ambrose's shoulder was hurt and he told the doctor to put it back it in, he is continuing. No he is not, the doc sent him to the back. He is out. Rollins tried to take advantage but RVD got him as he got near the top. Kofi then bridged a ladder on the big ladder and the top rope. And the three fought. RVD was selling his leg when he got dumped. Kofi then backdropped Rollins on the bridged ladded in a SICK bump. He had the brieface but Ziggler came in and stopped him then hit a DDT. Swagger came in and faced off with Dolph, Kofi and RVD and laid them all out.
As Zig climbed up, Swagger ran in and put the Ankle lock on Dolph on the ladder. Zig used his arms to climb up and then finally kicked Swagger out. While selling the leg, he went up. As he got to the case, Rollins used a chair on the bad ankle and knocked him down. The crowd chanted "We want Ambrose". Rollins went up when they got Ambrose, he ran out and used a chair to destroy Rollins. Dean then climbed the ladder, all while selling the bad arm. As he got up to the top f'n Kane's music hit. Ambrose fought him off briefly but Kane got him and chokeslammed him. Then he tombstoned Ambrose. Kane then stood guard on the ladded as Rollins climbed up. Kane held the ladder as Rollins went up and got the briefcase. So there ya go, another "top" heel that can't win anything without help.
Overall, the match was a lot of fun. The finish left the crowd really flat. I get where they are going, making Ambrose chase but the crowd wasn't happy with the finish. It was a really good, crazy match, as you would expect.
Afterward Steph and HHH came out to put over "their guy". Bow down to the king.
Randy Orton talked about what he will do in the main event. He doesn't fear Roman Reigns.
They plugged the Vickie Guerrero special that will air on the WWE Network on Tuesday. The announcers said it's another reason to buy The WWE Network.
Gold and Star Dust vs. Rybaxel is next. The Rhodes started hot, then the heels took control. The crowd really didn't care during this. They have seen this match enough I guess. Goldust was taking the beating and they are just waiting for the hot tag. Wow, Goldust reversed Ryback into a near fall and there was no reaction. Then they chanted Goldberg at Ryback, then feed me more as he went for the elbow. Gold got out of the way and made the tag, no pop. Ryback went for Shellshock but Cody countered and got a two when Axel broke it up. That led to Cody rolling up Ryback for the win. No pop again. Axel tried to attack Cody but he and Goldie laid him out. They posed afterward. There wasn't much reaction though. ... The work was solid but the crowd just didn't seem to get into it.
We got a recap of Layla and Summer Rae fighting over who will get the rights to bang Fandango and accompany him to the ring when he loses. They sold the "love triangle". Byron interviewed Fandango since he is the ref for this match. Layla came out and said he can't call it down the middle because he loves her. Summer says he loves her. He says save it for the ring. But they are not up next. It's....
Rusev vs. Big E! Rusev came out with Lana. She did her deal. He said he would beat Big E. Out came E, with the US flag and chanting USA. He had a pre-tape where he said he is standing up for America. Because we are still at war with Russia I guess.
Big E was in conrtol early, sending Rusev to the floor. As Rusev tried to come in, Big E went for the spear he hit last show but ate a knee instead. As he would say, "Rusev in control". Well until he ran into a Big E slam. He got a two. Then he big spear and ducked a Rusev kick, countering with a big suplex. E then hit the spear as Rusev was on the apron and they both hit the floor. The crowd chanted USA. Lana was going nuts. E took Rusev back in but only got a two. Rusev was dazed but he hit a kick out of nowhere. Then another. Rusev was bleeding in the mouth. He locked on the Accolade. They sold Big E had to tap. This is where they should do the pass out spot instead if he is going to lose. Big almost powered out but couldn't. So he tapped. Rusev held the move for a while before letting go. ... I really enjoyed it. They both worked really hard and know how to have good big man matches.
