JBL and Booker T came out to join Michael Cole on commentary. Cole was still out from the WWE Superstars tapings. The opening theme played, followed by huge pyro, which I wasn't expecting.
John Cena's music hit and the crowd erupted into boos and they sang "John Cena sucks" along with his music. Cena acted shocked by the hostile reaction. He played up to the crowd, and won some people over. He even went as far as saying he believes London should get WrestleMania. I don't think that will be shown on TV. Cena turned his attention to the U.S. Title open challenge. He said you want some come get some.
Bad News Barrett came out to a good pop. He said why should he wait to beat Bryan for the Intercontinental Title when he can face John Cena in front of the greatest fans on earth. Both men were introduced with Barrett getting a huge pop, and Cena getting huge boos...
1. John Cena beat Barrett to retain the U.S. Title. Barrett got the early advantage as the fans chanted England. Eventually, Cena won with a second FU . Good match. Cena gave Barrett a lot, and Bad News even got to kick out of a Attitude Adjustment. The match was about ten minutes long.
Following the match, Lana walked onto stage and got a large pop. Rusev attacked Cena from behind. Lana announced that the match at Extreme Rules would be a Russian chain match...
The big screen announced Randy Orton vs. Cesaro, and Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler for later in the show...
2. Paige won a Divas Battle Royal to become No. 1 contender to the Divas Championship. The Bella Twins sat in on commentary. The participants were Emma, Rosa Mendez, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Summer Rae, Cameron, Natalya, and Paige, who got a huge pop. However, the crowd was silent throughout the majority of the match. It came down to Paige and Naomi, and Paige won.
Paige was interviewed mid ring by Byron Saxton. After a passionate hometown promo, Naomi attacked Paige...
Another Bray Wyatt promo aired. Once again, he didn't specify who he was talking about...
Booker T interviewed Roman Reigns. He came out to a mixed response. Booker asked what his thoughts on WrestleMania were. The crowd chanted Suplex City. He said Seth Rollins did what he was supposed to do, but one day he will be champion. Roman called Big Show a giant bitch.
Big Show appeared on the big screen. He said Roman failed at WrestleMania unlike him. Show said he will knock Reigns down. The crowd chanted boring. Roman called him out and said he will shove the trophy down his throat. Believe that. Roman came across well, still not polished...
3. The Lucha Dragons beat The Ascension. Lots of "Lucha Lucha" chants followed by NXT chants. The Dragons won in three minutes...
Big Show attacked Roman Reigns on the ramp and threw him into the side of the taxi at the top of the ramp. Show placed Roman on the top of the taxi and then climbed up and chokeslammed him onto the roof of the taxi...
4. Randy Orton beat Cesaro. Orton won in three minutes via DQ...
Kane came out and said The Authority weren't in London. He announced that the match would continue by restarting as a handicap match...
5. Randy Orton defeated Tyson Kidd and Cesaro. Kidd blew a spot by slipping off the top rope. Orton beat both of the tag team title holders (think about that for a second) in six minutes. It was a clumsy segment all round, but Orton hit a sweet RKO on Kidd as Kidd dove off the top rope.
Backstage Kane and Seth Rollins were talking about Rollins vs. Ziggler later. Rollins joked that he's changing the match to him against Jamie Noble. Rollins said Noble will lie down for him. Rollins pretended he wasn't afraid of Ziggler, and tried to convince Kane to get in the main event with him and lie down...
6. Dean Ambrose beat Adam Rose. Dean won via Dirty Deeds in four minutes...
Backstage, Big Show convinced Kane to change the main event to Rollins vs. Kane. Kane finished by saying tonight he will do what's best for business...
7. Stardust beat Fandango. Stardust won in two minutes. There's not much happening. It was basically a short match followed by a backstage skit. The show is starting to drag. After the match, fandango danced with the crowd singing his music. I don't know if that will make TV but it was pretty cool...
Backstage Bryan talked to Kane and mocked him for thinking doing something that put WCW out of business. Bryan wound him up and told him not to be a stooge, be a man...
8. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated Kane. Kane came out in a suit and got in the ring. The bell rang and Kane didn't move. Instead he took his jacket off. He took his shirt off then towered over Seth, he eventually laid down with the crowd chanting you sold out and no. Kane kicked out at two.
Noble and Mercury entered and Kane threw them across the ring. Seth tried talking to Kane, but Kane knocked him down. Seth begged off. Kane eventually chokeslammed Rollins. Instead of a Tombstone, he laid down and dropped a helpless Seth's arm over him...
9. Damien Mizdow (w/Summer Rae) defeated The Miz. Mizdow won with a rollup in two minutes... Seriously...
The Prime Time Players made fun of Los Matadors. At one point, Darren Young said that rainbow was his favorite color. Yeah, they went there...
10. Ryback defeated Luke Harper by DQ. Ryback won by DQ in two minutes when Harper threw a piece of the broadcast team's table at him. Afterward, Dean Ambrose came out and beat on Harper. People around me are getting fed up by the short matches...
Backstage, Naomi attempted to sound apologetic for attacking Paige, but then she laughed and said it's about "me"...
Dolph Ziggler called Kane the worlds biggest dumbass. He then issued an open challenge since he doesn't have a match anymore. Neville answered that challenge...
11. Dolph Ziggler beat Neville. A good match. They will have better matches, but this was a good eight-minute match. After the match, Sheamus attacked both men...
Seth Rollins had a sit down promo in the ring. Rollins announced that because he won his match with Kane he gets to choose a stipulation for Extreme Rules. Randy Orton came out, and he gets to choose a stip as well. Seth's stip is that the RKO is banned. Orton's stip is for them to fight in a steel cage...
They also announced that Triple H will have a Tough Enough announcement next week...
