2. Seth Rollins comes out to gripe at Ambrose. He gives Ambrose credit for being clever on Raw. He demands that Ambrose name the stipulation for the match.
3. Great interplay between Rollins and Ambrose. I don't know if people thought Ambrose would be the kind of star he's becoming. Ambrose names his stipulation: a Lumberjack match. "August 17 is the day 'Mr. Money in the Bank' goes broke." Awesome. Seth responds that he gets to choose Ambrose's opponent for tonight and books Ambrose v. Randy Orton.
4. Mark Henry and Big Show v. AxleBack. Is the ring going to hold all that? I'm picking the World's Biggest Athlete and the World's Strongest Man to beat the meatheads in the World's Slowest Match. Good to have Show back in action.
5. Nice to see that Ryback stopped wearing that scary Orange singlet that made him look naked.
6. A quick slow match, to be sure. It ends with Henry hitting Axle with the World's Strongest Slam as Big Show chokeslammed Ryback for the pinfall victory. Show held Ryback up for a good five seconds before he threw him down. Not unimpressive.
7. Ziggler mocks the Rollins briefcase--"it looks like a movie theatre's floor"--and Rollins decides to challenge Ziggler to a match. That should be excellent.
8. Sin Cara v. "United States Border Patrol officer" Damien Sandow. How sad that Sandow is about to get his tuchus handed to him again. *sigh* He deserves better.
9. Sandow got in a little offense, but Hunico--er, Sin Cara, that is--takes Sandow down within about three minutes.
10. The lengthy video segment on Cena/Lesnar again. *sigh*
11. Ziggler v. Rollins. Please let this be a long match. Rollins will win, but it will be a good match if they're allowed time to shine.
12. Rollins hits the Three Amigos. Not going to make you very popular in Texas, gringo.
13. No one does a drop kick as pretty as Dolph Ziggler.
14. FAMOUSER!!! And Rollins kicks out.
15. Rollins throws Ziggler into the ring post and then the steps. Curb Stomp, and Rollins gets the pinfall victory. Not as exciting a match as I thought it would be, though it had its moments.
16. Wake me up when Orton is done talking. The voices in your head need new writers, Randy.
17. Natalya v. Paige. Paige should win. Will it be a good match? It should be. These are two of the best performers in the Divas division.
18. Sharpshooter about 30 seconds in. Paige reaches the ropes quickly. *sigh* I hope it's not going to be one of those matches.
19. Paige Tap Out (scorpion lock) forces Natty to tap. Much too quick a match. The PTO looks legitimately painful.
20. Rusev v. Big E. We've seen this before, and I wasn't too excited then. Rusev's run of destruction continues.
21. Rusev beats up Big E quickly. Ho hum.
22. Review of Brie/Steffi from RAW. Zzzzz...
23. Main Event: Ambrose v. Orton. Whether or not he wins, Ambrose is going to take a beating after the match.
24. Not a lot of stuff until Ambrose hits a tornado DDT. Orton kicks out at 2.
25. Orton throws Ambrose into the steel steps twice. Goes for the second-rope DDT but Ambrose throws him over the ropes.
26. Rollins comes to ringside. Ambrose knocks him off the apron. Orton goes for the RKO, but Ambrose reverses and hits Dirty Deeds. He goes for the pin, but Rollins pulls him out and hits him. The ref calls for the bell. The two-on-one eventually overcomes Ambrose. Rollins pours pop over him and continues taunting him.Filly he hits Curb Stomp.
Not a terribly exciting episode. Of course, my internet was being uncooperative, so that didn't help, but the show had too many quick matches.
