The Evolution of Batista, Orton and Triple H
Triple H comes out and talks about how he is going to end the Yes Movement. Triple H talks about being the game and beating some of the best. A video narrated by Stephanie McMahon shows Triple H beating some of the best, like Kurt Angle, Booker T and Jeff Hardy. Triple H talks about being the best and being the most consistent. Batista comes out and talks about Triple H being the brains and Steph being the brawn. Orton comes out and tries to suck up. Orton talks about leaving WrestleMania as champion. Him and Batista stare down with one another.
Reaction: Triple H sets the bar for being an excellent heel. People love Triple H, but this is a reason why we need to love to hate him. The reality type angles that are being built up on a weekly basis are really good, but he is being protective about what fans should think is real. I really think he is doing an incredible job at evolving from a face for years to a heel in the modern era. As for Orton and Batista, it is going to be interesting to see how they look in their match later. I can see Daniel Bryan being the guy that either stands tall or gets attacked by all former members of Evolution.
Score: 7.5/10
Fatal Four Way Tag Team Championship Match
The Uso's and Los Matadores teamed up together to take on Rybaxel and The Real Americans. It was a really good preview into what to expect at WrestleMania XXX Pre-Show. I wonder why WWE moved this match to the pre-show. Since it is two hours, they need to find some entertainment. They can give these guys 20 minutes on the pre-show, but it feels less important. I still hate the fact that Goldust and Cody Rhodes are not in this match. It makes no sense to leave them out of a chance to regain their championship titles. The match will be entertaining. I want to see Real Americans stand tall.
Score: 7/10
Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Fandango and Damien Sandow
Quick and efficient action between four guys from the battle royal. I really think Goldust and Cody are being wasted in the big event, but I do think that they will pick up afterwards. SummerSlam 2014 will feature these two men battling. I think it will be the end of Goldust.
Score: 5/10
Naomi defeated AJ Lee
Naomi hit a dropkick and AJ Lee tries to escape. The Lumberjills throw her back into the ring. Naomi is taken to the outside and the Divas do not throw her back into the ring. AJ Lee hits a big kick into Naomi's face. AJ Lee locks in a submission hold and tries to wear Naomi down. Naomi reverses AJ Lee and his a suplex. She heads to the top and AJ Lee ducks to the outside. Tamina tries to protect AJ Lee on the outside and all Divas go crazy. Naomi hits a Rear End for the win.
Reaction: Another loss for AJ Lee. Naomi should be the favorite, but I cannot see AJ Lee lose the title in a random match like this. She keeps losing and losing, only to win on the big stage.
Score: 5/10
