Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose are back and better than ever. All it took for me to care about Dean is for him to be paired with Seth Rollins. First off, I love the red and black gear for Rollins. He looked like a star, as he usually does. The match with Sheamus and Cesaro was excellent, one of the best matches of the night. Cesaro stole a beach ball from the crowd and ripped it apart, certainly something off the cuff that had the crowd cheering him on. When this happened, I thought of Seth last year and how his great bout with Balor was overlooked because of the Brooklyn crowd booing the Universal Championship.
Via WZ Live Coverage: On the outside, Sheamus hits a rolling senton on Rollins. Cesaro pulls Ambrose off of the ropes and locks in the cross face. Sheamus and Cesaro hit a power bomb clothesline combo. Cesaro and Sheamus set up their finish. Rolling springboards up to the top rope and hurricanranas Cesaro off the top. Cesaro goes flying into Sheamus. Rollins superkicks EVERYONE! Rollins hits the ripcord V-Trigger knee on Sheamus. Ambrose hits Dirty Deeds for the win!
Smart. Logical. Rollins and Ambrose are tag team champions after an excellent bout that showcased four of their top performers in the ring. The Shield reunion could be closer than we think, especially since Roman Reigns might be finding himself lost after SummerSlam. The Tag Team division on WWE RAW got a lot more interesting and deep. I am all in favor of this and feel it is the right time for everyone involved. Enjoy it while it lasts, because Survivor Series has a Dean Ambrose heel turn feel to it.
Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke Nakamura
The Modern Day Maharaja continues his reign, similar to every other win he has had. This was booked almost exactly like his win at WWE Backlash against Randy Orton. The Singh Brothers get involved and hit with two Kinsashas, but Mahal hit his finisher on Shinsuke Nakamura. Mahal retains in a 10 minute bout that could have been so much better.
It was a good match, but it did not do enough for me to love the championship reign continue. Can we ever get Jinder Mahal winning clean? Hell, even giving us a 20 minute match with a few finishers that have the opponent kick out would create drama and more belief that Nakamura is unique. This was a really good Smackdown Live main event, not a SummerSlam World Championship match. The ending is too predictable and I think Nakamura becomes champion sooner rather than later.
