The Undercard
Cody Rhodes and Goldust continue to have their issues. Goldust costs Cody a match against Ryback. I wonder when they are actually going to split up. I would love to see them in a big match in August, but doubt that they can carry this split for such a long time. I want to see meaning with Cody, but WWE still decides to push other talent over him.
What does Cody have to do to prove himself? Will Goldust vs. Cody Rhodes be a match that can sell? I would not be surprised if these 2 are 2 of 8 men in Money in the Bank and that officially ends their friendship.
Score: 5/10
Cesaro defeated Rob Van Dam
This was a great match that had a weak ending. RVD and Cesaro are excellent pairings for one another. RVD is a crowd favorite and has a following that goes back 20 years. Cesaro is a new heel who needs to get over with a popular face. THAT WORKS. What doesn't work is the fact that RVD does not talk. Why are they feuding? Why does RVD have a problem with Paul Heyman, a guy who we all know made him millions? Give us a REASON.
Score: 6.5/10
Adam Rose debuts, disrupting Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter. He does not do much besides dance around and says "Don't be a lemon, be a Rosebud." I cannot tell if I like him or not. Is he too cheesy, something like the Rated PG Superstar? Time will tell. I know that his talents in the ring can carry him far.
Score: 5/10
