Rey Mysterio vs. The Miz

What I Liked:

This was the best match of the night. I really enjoy seeing the transitional moves from Miz, from a backbreaker into a neckbreaker. The Miz controlled a good portion of this match, and slowed things down to his face with a headlock.We get back and forth action between the two, and the end sees Rey sneak a win. He rolls up and surprises Miz with a rollup. I would not mind seeing a feud with these guys, and an Intercontinental Championship match at Summerslam. they both need something to do, and it is somewhat of a high profile match for The Miz on a big stage. He needs that to save himself a bit.

Grade: B+

Alberto Del Rio vs Sheamus ends in No Contest

What I Liked/Disliked

This last part fell flat for me.Del Rio hires cops to attack Sheamus, but he fights them off for a bit. All of a sudden he gets beaten down and quickly Del Rio attacks him. This just was not interesting to me and really reminded me why they keep dropping the ball with Del Rio. Maybe the ball is not being dropped, but he does not have the ball to run with. He is not creative and is not connecting whatsoever with the crowd. This was just stupid, illogical, and not creative at all. This failed big time for me.
