Swann is such an awesome, charismatic character. TJ Perkins and The Brian Kendrick to retain the Cruiserweight belt All around a great match to witness, even if I really had a hard time picking who I wanted to win because I love both superstars and their gimmicks. It was a necessary set up for what turned out to be the main event, and it showed off the prowess of both superstars. This match was a lot of fun to watch, complete with a little Kevin Owens interference to solidify the rift in JerichKO’s beautiful bromance. Give Sami Zayn a championship run or at least have him beef with someone that will give the crowd some fast-paced, high-flying action instead of this boring, predictable beat down nonsense. Unless Nia Jaxx (the brute force, undefeatable woman wrestler on RAW’s roster) and Strowman start to feud, I really have no comprehension of what Braun’s shtick or purpose is. I have no idea who they’re trying to build up, the only good part was the last few minutes, and I don’t understand why they are wasting Zayn’s talent as a dynamic wrestler to pin him against some brute force whose gimmick is literally being big and scary and undefeatable, despite the fact he’s not even close to an actual championship story line. I’ll be frank, this match was a confusing waste of time. When WWE must put an explainer description on the results of this match, you know it wasn’t great. Braun Strowman by surviving 10 minutes in the ring with Strowman Overall, this match was a highlight of the night. The wrestling was excellent, Cesaro and Sheamus’ fake tag at the end to win the match was genius, and the crowd’s hilarious split reactions to Sheamus (boos) and Cesaro (cheers) was almost absurd. It was a bit of a shock to see the New Day lose their title so quickly after beating the record, but the extra cheating shenanigans seem to indicate they’re headed for a total heel turn, which should be pretty cool. The New Day to become the new tag-team ChampionsĪfter just beating Demolition’s record as the longest reigning WWE World Tag Team Champions, The New Day lost in an incredible match to the odd couple of Cesaro & Sheamus. I understand neither Big Cass nor Rusev can afford to look weak given their gimmicks, but the match’s outcome was no surprise.Ĭesaro & Sheamus def. It also was rather by the book, ending with a count out so neither wrestler looked weak. There was so much RAW hype leading up to this event with the hotel room beat down of Enzo two weeks ago and the “Rusev and Lana: Behind Closed Doors” promo last week, so for this to be relegated to the pre-show was pretty odd. It is a real shame that his match was a pre-show event, because Enzo Amore’s smack talking was on fire last night (I’m still chuckling about the Wikileaks digs at Rusev’s wife, Lana the Ravishing Russian). That said, there was some incredible wrestling and storytelling witnessed at Roadblock: EOTL.
