Alberto Del Rio Defeats Brodus Clay
What I Liked:
Alberto begins to kick down the monster Clay with strikes to the legs. Del Rio gets the advantage, gets taken down, but really comes back firing. His aggression seems to be much more realistic, and it helps with a bigger opponent. Del Rio gets the victory by having Clay tap out.
What I Disliked:
I mean, you have Brodus Clay dominate for such a long time only to have him job to "main event guys." Where is the build, the logic, and the intelligence in that? Only stupid fans would believe that Clay is not a guy who can win matches. The only hope I can have is that they get rid of the dancing from Brodus Clay and make him into what he SHOULD be, and that is a dominant force who plows through everyone. At that point, he probably would go back to squashing lower card talents like JTG.

Prime Time Players Defeats Santino Marella and Zack Ryder
What I Liked:
I still am a big fan of PTP for a few reasons. I have mentioned how they are extremely old school, with a cockiness of the new school. With that, along with a solid combination of strength and Young's intelligence in the ring, you can see how good these guys can be together. It may be in the distance, but this team has much more to offer than any other tag team in the WWE. They are built for the long run, and not the present. Clash of the Titus is a great move and name for O'Neil. He continues to improve on his instincts and timing in the ring. Young is still very good at crafting his offense from the time he enters the ring, and am looking forward to more from them.
What I Disliked:
Santino and Zack are now just being buried to get other tag team's over. It is easy heat, but completely not creative by any means. I am still not sold on The Band, 3MB, or whatever they are called. They attack Marella and Ryder, but why? What is the point? We still do not get any insight on why they are together, and what they can provide.
