Bobby Roode vs. Kazarian Review:
Roode and Kazarian show their Fortune hand sign and respect. One after another, both men hit legsweeps and try to one up another. Roode locks in a front facelock sends Kazarian into the corner, but Kazarian knocks him down. Kazarian goes up top and attempts a legdrop, but Roode gets out of the way. Roode reverses Kazarian into a Bridging Suplex. Kazarian and Roode trade punches, but Kazarian gets the better of him and gets back on the offensive. Kaz hits a legdrop onto Roode. Roode knocks down Kaz after a chinlock. Roode connects with a beautiful neckbreaker onto Kazarian. Roode locks in a crossface, as Kazarian has nothing else to do but tap out. We see angle look on. They are seen backstage, who are friendly and supportive of one another.
Reaction:
A very entertaining match between two guys who can really go. Roode is a complete player, and I feel that this challenge for him will showcase his abilities against various types of wrestlers. Kazarian is a great wrestler, as you saw good timing, better execution, and a very solid finish. Ironic that he makes Kazarian “tap out”? I think not. This segment gets an A.
Backstage Segment Review:
Austin Aries wants to rename the X Divison the A Double Division. He says nobody is on his level, and has an announcement for next week. He says he is going to have a title defense next week. We also see Bully Ray and Jerry Lynn talking about Mr. Anderson and RVD. They both say they are going to beat up their respected opponents.
