Ryback def. Jinder Mahal
What I Liked:
Ryback continues his feud with Mahal. The match ends in a DQ with Mahal leaving. Ryback does a little speaking before the match, very old school with the interview before the match. This is basically the first time we have heard him speak. I thought that was the best part of the segment.
What I Disliked:
Ryback has certainly lost my interest and it is not his fault. There is no success with this ridiculous feud with Mahal. When you bury a superstar for so long, people are going to lose any sort of interest in him. That is where Mahal is at. If he won any sort of big match or was relevant for any part of his career, then it would work. Too bad for both guys because this is something that does not have length in and cannot add layers to their feud.
Grade: D
Darren Young def. R-Truth
What I Liked:
Young and O'Neil have the classic heel tag team moves, including O'Neil beating down Truth on the outside as Young distracts the referee. I really like PTP and think that they have strong personalities and characters that can carry themselves far. There is a difference in cockiness between them and other heels. It works for them because they are viewed as the "high school or college jocks." You love to hate guys like this.
What I Disliked:
The match was too quick, had no string of moves attached to it, and really did not do much. I am lucky that I got to see emphasis on the tag teams, but I would rather get a ten minute match here, even longer, instead of wasted time like Ryback's match. I want to see some consistency each week, and that remains to be seen with these guys.
Grade: C+
