Chris Jericho and Alberto Del Rio versus Sheamus and Randy Orton ended in a no contest after all four men started to brawl in and outside the ring during the bout. Up until that point it had been a so so tag team match, pretty flat for the majority of it to be honest. During the break after Eve announced on Twitter that Orton will face Del Rio and Jericho will face Sheamus on the same show later on.
AJ defeated former friend Kaitlyn in a short and scrappy bout. After a series of scratching and clawing AJ struck Kaitlyn with a shining wizard for the one-two-three. Afterwards her former boyfriend Daniel Bryan informed her how impressed he was at her aggression, stating he had no idea she could be so "ruthless."
He carried on as if he was considering taking her back, but turned the tables and admitted his interest was actually with Kaitlyn. An angry and upset AJ shook in the ring in front of him as he mocked and laughed at her. It was a great moment as she teased an attack on the hurtful Bryan, but instead she walked away. For me it was a tremendous segment, as most with these two. I'm loving the fact that they're slowly building up to AJ's inevitable moment of vengeance on her ex, which should provoke a huge pop when it comes.
Daniel Bryan defeated Big Show via submission after John Laurinaitis had the bell rung, without any sign of Show tapping out. The actual match, although brief, had been pretty good. I would've liked to have seen more to be honest, and I don't say that much for anything involving Big Show.
Laurinaitis forced Show to apologise to him afterwards, also calling him a "freak" like Eve had on Raw. The GM also informed Show that he will have to apologise to him once again on next Monday's Raw, and mean it. Well it's certainly gaining Johnny more heat, so these interactions with Show are working.
Ryback defeated Heath Slater in an average squash match. I think Ryback needs to add a little more to his move set, I'm sure he's capable of some more impressive power offense.
Antonio Cesaro defeated Alex Riley in another nice showing from Cesaro. I give it a year before he's challenging for a World title, if WWE push him like he deserves anyway. Unfortunately the only downside to Cesaro is that we have to endure the untalented Aksana still. I can't believe she's even on a paycheck there.
Randy Orton won via disqualification versus Alberto Del Rio after Ricardo Rodriguez attempted a cross body on 'The Viper, only to receive an RKO. The bout had been a solid one, as usual with Orton. Afterwards Del Rio applied his trademark armbar on Orton.
R-Truth defeated Jack Swagger in an enjoyable contest. It was a good outing for both wrestlers, and better then the average match they usually have. It's also great to see some much needed attention being given back to the tag team division with Ziggler and Swagger challenging the new champions Kingston and Truth on PPV at Over The Limit. It looks like the company are promoting a few new teams too, with Marella and Ryder, O'Neil and Young and also Hawkings and Rex.
Titus O'Neil and Darren Young defeated Zach Ryder and Santino Marella in a big win for O'Neil and Young, considering they were on NXT not too long ago. Overall it was a decent enough tag team match up, I'm not a huge fan of O'Neil and Young but at least they act and look like a real unit. Afterwards the victors mocked the crowd and called themselves the next WWE Tag Team Champions.
Brodus Clay defeated Hunico in a routine squash match. Before the bout Hunico and accomplice Camacho attacked 'The Funkasaurus', but of course it wasn't enough to keep him down and he made a Cena-like recovery to destroy Hunico.
Chris Jericho won via DQ versus Sheamus after Del Rio raced in and threw him into the steel steps, he then turned his attention to the World champion and applied the armbar. The actual bout had been a good main event, with both men going back and fourth. Orton then predictably entered the ring and attacked Del Rio. Jericho, Orton and Sheamus then finally each received their own retribution on Del Rio as they all applied their respective finishers on him.
