– Miz is on commentary with Josh Matthews.
Fandango is in control as we return from break. Christian fights out of a side headlock but quickly succumbs to another one. He fights out again but winds up in the corner getting punched. Christian fights back with a few uppercuts. He hits a running elbow to the kisser before dropping Fandango face first with a flapjack.TWOOOOOOO. Christian goes upstairs and hits a crossbody for TWO. Miz is so far off from pronouncing Fandango that it’d be interesting as a gimmick… But it’s just bad announcing. Fandango hits a springboard elbow for TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Lots of O’s AMIRITE? He goes upstairs for his Alabama Jam! He fights Christian off and sends him back down to the mat. He delivers but Christian moves! TWO! Christian misses a spear! Christian rolls Fandango up off of a supex attempt for the win! This was a solid Main Event match. Nothing more, nothing less

– We get a recap of the Raw angle that played out between D-Bry and John Cena. I thought this was extremely effective and put over how hard Daniel Bryan has worked to earn the show.
Gabriel gets kicked in the chest by Slater as we return from commercial. Slater keeps Gabriel grounded until a pin attempt gets him a two. That would be a stellar jobber gimmick. Instead of five, just TWO! TWO! TWO! Slater argues with the ref and Gabriel takes control for a small period of time until Slater delivers a boot. Slater goes up to the top and goes for a legdrop but Gabriel moves out the way! Gabriel begins taking control until the Wyatt Family interrupts and attacks both men in the ring. YES! Wyatt Family on Main Event! I’ll take it! They beat em down good and that’s all she wrote. This was a average match until the Wyatt Family attack. I’m still marking out for them so a quick beat down is enough to make me feel positive about the ending.
OFFICIAL RESULT: No Contest @ 7:07 aired
RATING: **
OVERALL: The first match wasn’t as good as a typical opener for Main Event but it was still okay. The rest was middle of the road but I do enjoy a good Wyatt Family beat down. You should skip this one.
