Bad News Barrett defeated Rey Mysterio
I love Bad News Barrett right now. I was skeptical at first, but the fact that you can see how much he is enjoying it. The genuine happiness that you see from him is excellent. Mysterio sends Barrett to the outside but Barrett flips him back into the ring. Barrett connects with big shots to the face. Rey hits a kick to the face, but Barrett hits a side slam. A two count gets Rey some down time. Barrett hangs Rey on the top rope and clubs him in the back. Barrett cheers to the crowd who simply love him. Rey hits a hanging DDT. The ending comes when Rey hits a 619, Barrett hangs up Rey on the rope, and Barrett hits a Bullhammer for the win. Has Barrett finally found his niche? This is a great sign for him, picking up a win over an established and fan favorite like Mysterio.
Score: 7/10
Alexander Rusev squashes Zack Ryder
Rusev kicks Ryder in the corner and works on all body parts. Rusev hits an incredible kick to Ryder's face. He hangs him on the ropes and drives his knee into his back. A power slam really grounds Ryder. Rusev hits another big slam and locks in the Accolade, which is a camel clutch submission hold. He does not let go and Lana tells him to stop. I want to see more. I want to see how he develops with Lana. I really hope he is not a Vladimir Kozlov. He seems more agile and athletic.
Score: 5.5/10
