The Shield's Roman Reigns Carries The Load
Roman Reigns and Kane fight in a good bout. Kane gets the upper hand at first, but Reigns hits a big clothesline and a superman punch. Reigns connects with a huge boot to the head and out come The Outlaws. The Shield comes out and attack. They all begin to attack Kane. They try to set up the triple powerbomb, but the Outlaws drag Kane out.
Reaction: This is the perfect tease. I just wonder how many people really care about this match? Will Ambrose or Rollins turn on Reigns? I wonder how this match ends up. Can it simply be The Shield winning?
Score: 6/10
Piper's Pit
Well, WWE tried to make the battle royal more important. I give them credit for pushing the right guys, guys like Sheamus, Ziggler, Miz, Titus and Big Show. You have a good combination of younger and talented guys with established stars. What is the real payoff here though? Is there one? WWE should have let Piper go off on a rant about one of the guys. It would have been more unique.
Score: 5/10
