Opening sequence.
Carmella vs. Natalya
Video on John Cena hosting Saturday Night Live. Cena is back in two weeks.
Tag Team Battle Royal
American Alpha, Heath Slater/Rhyno, Ascension, Vaudevillains, Hype Bros, Breezango
Baron Corbin video.
Alexa Bliss vs. Deonna Purrazzo
Actually never mind as Bliss says this is beneath her so no match.
Lynch is challenging and Bliss hides in the ropes to start. The threat of a Disarm-Her sends Alexa even further into the ropes, followed by some armdrags to keep the champ in trouble. Bliss gets rolled up for two as JBL talks about blocking Mauro on Twitter. Another Disarm-Her sends Bliss outside and, claiming a knee injury, she takes the countout at 4:30.
Bliss goes after Becky with the knee looking just fine. The beatdown sends Bliss limping back to the floor.
Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Luke Harper vs. The Miz
Back with Ambrose hitting a spinning backbreaker for two on Ziggler while Luke it out on the floor. The Zig Zag puts Harper down but Dean drops the top rope clothesline for two on Ziggler. Harper comes back with a sitout powerbomb for two more on Ziggler but a superkick into Dirty Deeds gets rid of Luke at 15:13.
Rich Swann tells us to check out 205 Live.
Overall Rating: C+. This was an interesting show as they set up a lot for what feels like it could be a major show on December 27. I can go for the Hype Bros as the next victims for the Wyatts and it should be interesting to see what happens when Lynch finally gets a big time title shot. Good show here and I think I can handle another week without Ellsworth getting his title shot.
