-AJ tells PTP that they will face Kane and Daniel Bryan in a Number 1 Contender's Match. (This came from a great segment earlier in the night with the Anger Management Therapist who suggests this.)
Daniel Bryan and Kane Defeats Primetime Players
What I Liked:
Tag team wrestling was showcased here, with Young and Titus getting much of the offense early. Yes, Bryan would hit kicks onto his chest, but Titus looked great in the ring. He is becoming what you want from a tag team individual, one who has the strength while his partner has the technicality. I was very impressed with the size and speed of Titus, including a great backbreaker that looked to really hurt Bryan. As the match progressed, Kane and Bryan would argue back and forth. Finally, the match ended with Kane chokeslamming Bryan onto Young, and they get the win. This was a brilliant way for Kane and Bryan to get the win, and to continue to be angry at one another. I love the fact they are both working so well together, meshing personalities, and both guys are doing enough to make the other look just as talented. The character and personalities of both men continue to be a reason why this is working. I am always entertained by these two guys, and feel like this is absolute gold.
What I Disliked:
Well, Daniel Bryan and Kane go to Night of Champions, and PTP takes a backseat. PTP is the future of the tag teams, but Bryan and Kane are the present. You have to make this switch, but does it ultimately hurt the steam Primetime Players? It sure does not help them.
Grade: B+
Alberto Del Rio Defeats Tyson Kidd
What I Liked:
Good for Tyson Kidd to fight in Canada. The match was better than I expected because Kidd actually was able to garner some offense. He locks in a Sharpshooter, which the crowd loved. Del Rio looked to fight it off, and then locked in the Cross Armbar for the victory.
What I Disliked:
Again, where is Sheamus? I do not understand why he would not come out and try to attack Del Rio. When they get me interested one week, they let it fall apart. Kidd, not to his dismay, is not a great opponent for Del Rio a week before a championship match. It just does not interest people.
Grade: C-
