Brodus Clay, Kofi Kingston, and R-Truth def. The Miz, Jack Swagger, and Dolph Ziggler:
What I Liked:
Thankfully, Brodus Clay has something more to do than squash JTG. For the second consecutive week, I was more impressed with him than usual. They were able to protect him in the match thanks to the athleticism and timing excellence of athletic guys, including Ziggler and Kofi. It was also nice that The Miz was able to hit a few nice moves, including his DDT after aggressive kicks to Brodus. Kofi and Ziggler picked up the pace after it was set in a slow and dragging way. It was not a bad way to slow the pace, especially for the other guys to really pick it up. Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise with perfection. Spot on, this is why I like Kofi. He rarely screws up, and makes his moves worth every cent.
What I Disliked:
I did not dislike much in this 6 man tag team match. I wish that Kofi would get the pinfall over Ziggler or Swagger, since they are the match on Sunday we should be focusing on. Also, when will Miz get something meaningful to do? It may not be in the near future.
Grade: B+
AJ wishes "good luck" to CM Punk. He says he does not get involved with Drama and walks away.
Chris Jericho def. Randy Orton via Disqualification:
What I Liked:
Veterans working flawlessly here was what we got. You can see the comfort level of both guys, who they have worked together for so many years. Jericho still gets a good crowd reaction, but Orton really draws intrigue with all ages. Sheamus was outside commentating, which was a perfect touch. Sheamus took a great hit when Jericho threw Orton into him, causing the DQ finish. Jericho, like always, escapes without much harm. I am beginning to buy into Orton and Sheamus feuding as two faces who are trying to be the bigger man each time. I really liked the match, but the ending was much better. It gave me a reason to invest my time into the Fatal 4 Way on Sunday.
What I Disliked:
Alberto Del Rio needed to be down here to impliment himself in this whole mess. He needed to prove and remind everyone that is a former champion. He has the least steam behind him out of everyone else. Other than that, it was much more entertaining this whole time around.
Grade: B
