Ryback def. Kevin Mahoney and Tony Androitis
What I Liked:
Another week, another squash. He is powerful and fun to watch…for now.
What I Disliked:
Alright, now is the time to progress him. He is ready, we have seen how powerful he is. Give him something to work with for a period of time.

The Peep Show
What I Liked:
Before things got underway, Rhodes destroyed the set. Cody asks who Christian is trying to fool being the nice guy. He said last time we saw him, he did not care about the fans. He said he had a moment of clarity when he inducted Edge into the Hall of Fame. I liked the realism behind this segment. Neither guy needed to physically interact with one another, because I felt this feud should do more speaking and clarification. Good work by both guys to add another layer and level of intrigue between the two's match at No Way Out
What I Disliked:
Dolph Ziggler comes out and tries to interrupt. I love Ziggler, but feel he is better than both of these guys, and its not really close. Please give him Money in the Bank. That is the best to thrust him into the main event spot.

Christian def. Dolph Ziggler
What I Liked:
Excellent match between Christian and Dolph. Both guys are so similar in ring personality and style it came off almost flawlessly. I loved the progression and the continuity in the match. They have not fought much with one another previously. Dolph was able to ground Christian after a great dropkick, continued to wear him down until Christian was able to get going offensively. Christian has great move chemistry, from an inverted DDT, to a spear, and ultimately hitting the Frog Splash. Well done, as this match was a joy to watch.
What I Disliked:
Nothing!
