The Dudley Boyz defeated The Ascension
Devon and Bubba Ray return to a WWE ring and take on Viktor and Konnor. A good match with the usual moves, having the nostalgic tag team hit their headbutt and a 3D to pick up the win. Bubba and Devon celebrate to the crowd and are back in the WWE.
This was a nice and easy start for the Dudley Boyz to return to the ring. It is always nice to see a tag team like them come back and hit the ground running.
This is just the first step in what hopes to be more than a few months on the main roster chasing the tag titles. It is funny how popular they are that THEY can make an Ascension match, to me, “must watch.”
Former NXT Champions Collide
Neville starts off hot with a few strikes, kicks and slaps to Owens. He follows with a back suplex. Back from break, Neville kicks the former NXT Champion. He stuns Owens with a corner kick, then he follows with a dropkick for a two count. Owens sidesteps more explosive offense and Owens kicks him a few times and finished with a op-up powerbomb for the win.
Oddly booked match, with Kevin Owens not getting much of the offense. The guy is best when he carries the match from an offensive standpoint. It was not a bad match at all, but I felt like it was a desperate attempt for WWE to make us THINK that Neville could have a shot at winning tonight. I am not sure where either of these guys go next. Owens has been a floater since his feud with Cena ended, while Neville was used as a prop for Amell at SummerSlam.
Resolution for the Revolution…
