Cesaro remains in control as we return from break. Kofi escapes a headlock and fights back with a bevy of forearms and dropkicks. Kofi gets a roll up for two! Crossbody for two! Cesaro hits a tremendous uppercut and goes for the cover. Kofi BARELY kicks out. Cesaro lifts Kingston up for a huge powerslam but Kofi escapes and delivers an SOS! KICKOUT! Holy shit. Cesaro grabs Kofi by the feet and spins him around FOR THIRTY SIX SECONDS. That was such a huge pop. Turn this guy face and make him a killing machine. Cesaro goes for the Neutralizer. Kofi escapes and covers him. Cesaro BRIDGES OUT AT TWO! Kofi delivers Trouble in Paradise and it’s over.
This match was filled with innovation and nonstop action. They used a bunch of reversals that you may not have seen before as well. No resting for these guys. GREAT stuff that I recommend you hunt down.
OFFICIAL RESULT Kofi Kingston @ 11:36 via pin
RATING: ***1/2
– Recap of the Axel/Punk/Heyman rivalry
We’re back! O’Neil is manhandling Mahal like crazy as we return from break. Young comes in and takes it to Mahal with some clotheslines and a very nice suplex. I’m hoping the PTPs are the last team against The Shield on Sunday. Slater is in and they use some cheap tactics to get in control. Slater begins the beat down. In comes Mahal with some methodical picking apart of Young. 3MB actually delivers a pretty nice serious heat segment. Tons of Funk calls Miz out on being a douchey face on commentary. Miz starts going on about himself and Brodus actually has to refocus him. Young makes the hot tag and O’Neil hits a nice fall away slam on Mahal. He hits a big boot but Slater breaks it up! O’Neil sends Slater to the outside and Mahal rolls him up! TWO! Titus hits a sit out powerbomb on Mahal for the win!
The Prime Time Players are GREAT at playing faces. They’re improving in the ring by leaps and bounds as well. I wouldn’t have been down for a ten minute PTP match last year, but this kept me entertained throughout. Good tag formula was utilized and the match did it’s job in promoting tag team turmoil at Night of Champions. Good stuff.
OFFICIAL RESULT: Prime Time Players @ 10:01 aired via pinfall
RATING: **1/2
– They air a Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton video package
This was a great showcase for Langston and Truth was a great opponent for this exhibition. Good stuff.
OFFICIAL RESULT: Big E Langston @ 5:07 via pinfall
RATING: *3/4
OVERALL: This was a much better show than last week. Cesaro/Kingston was an amazing match to kick things off. The tag team match not only delivered beyond my expectations, but also did a great job selling the tag team turmoil match at Night of champions. Finally, Big E Langston looked like a beast in his match with Truth to close out the show. I’m excited to see where his push lands him. Recommendation to watch!
