The Club, Enzo and Cass
A tag team match ended on RAW with a Disqualification. AJ Styles takes out Enzo Amore on the outside and the beating begins. They say that John Cena is not here and he is in Los Angeles. Well, his music hits and the champion runs down the ramp. He clears the ring until the three men retreat. The faces hold the ring and the segment ends.
Nothing too special here. I thought John Cena getting a HUGE reaction was surprising. It shows you how good of being a heel these three guys are that they are making the fans cheer for John Cena. They are becoming the ultimate villain. It is SO hard to make him a face, but they are executing it because they are acting like old school heels. They act cowardly. They use the numbers game. They continue to trash the crowd and are doing it with natural ability and believability. WWE could not have picked a better group of guys to turn heel. Yes, everyone wanted to see them for so long. After John Cena HAS to be Finn Balor. Capitalize on that connection sooner rather than later.
Dana Brooke vs. Sasha Banks
Sasha ducks a lock-up and Dana falls to the mat. Dana heads to the outside and does not want part of her. Dana ends up taking control with some punches and forearm shots. She flexes and hits a clothesline. Sasha makes a comeback but Dana stops her dead in her tracks. Dana sends Sasha out to the floor. Back from the break and Dana is in control of Sasha in the middle of the ring. She slows the pace with a submission hold. Sasha is able to fight out of it and hits the Bank Statement. After a little of a struggle, Dana taps out. Charlotte says that Sasha Banks winning does not give her the chance to fight for the championship. She says she has to fight Dana Brooke again on Smackdown. Banks stands tall.
It was a tad sloppy with some transitions, as the speed was not clicking from the beginning. It seemed like Dana Brooke wanted to keep up, but Sasha was a little crisper and faster. Nonetheless, another week and another build to the potential Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks showdown. Dana plays her part well and she will continue to improve technically. She does not necessarily need to be a mat technician, but own her craft of being the strong enforcer.
