A cheap win for the heel. Man, I really wanted to see Paige pick up the victory here, but it could be in store at WrestleMania. They could really capitalize on how good Paige has been. There needs to be something that spices it up. Do they add another Diva into the mix? If so, who? I would not mind Charlotte. She is ready. The pacing was alright, but there was not a big moment in the match to make it better than the normality.
WWE Intercontinental Championship

Ambrose drags Barrett back into the ring and then Barrett grabs the ropes. The count is at 5 and Ambrose is Disqualified.
The way this night is going, it seems like WWE has a handful of rematches on their hand in 5 weeks. This is NOT a good thing. Ambrose grabs the title and begins to beat down Barrett. I am still waiting for a big moment from Ambrose. his matches are good, but that is about it. WWE writer cannot seem to book his crazy gimmick. He steals the title. Could this set up a stipulation match? There needs to be something else.
