The Undercard Part Two
Mark Henry defeated Fandango. This was a squash match for the massive man known as Mark Henry. He is only going to see matches like this for a few more weeks. WWE brought him back for a reason and this is not the reason. As we head into the new year, I fully expect them to use Henry and help younger guys get over. Someone like Big E comes to mind.
Grade: C+
Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated The Miz and Kofi Kingston. WWE seems to have forgotten what they had in mind when they decided to turn Miz heel. I was really thrown off by this and really annoyed at the booking of this match. Neither team looked really good and neither really benefits from a win or loss. Miz slapped Kingston after the match. Do we really want to waste the talent of Miz in a mid-card feud that is not going to be featured on a weekly basis? What is the point? Also, I can fully see Ryback and Axel fight Goldust and Cody Rhodes at WWE TLC.
Grade: C
The Real Americans defeated The Prime Time Players. If you want to complain about the tag teams in WWE, go right ahead. At least WWE are showcasing them on a weekly basis. Not every team needs to win. It is impossible to build more than 2-3 teams at a time. We have The Shield, Rhodes Brothers, Uso's and Real Americans. I want to see Titus and Darren in a bigger and more important feud. There is just simply no room right now for them to make an impact. Swagger and Cesaro are a really good heel tag team that can easily be put into main events in a heartbeat. Why? Because of what they have done in the past. They are credible guys with potential to own the division if they keep the right steam. Zeb Colter still brings out the best personality for them.
Grade: B-
