Kelly Kelly def. Eve
What I Liked:
It was nice to see the return of Kelly Kelly, who is arguably the most popular Diva of the past few years. She is not the best wrestler, but has had some good matches. This match was okay, and it was just average. I have seen better and seen worse.
What I Disliked:
The match was a little sloppy and out of nowhere. Where is Layla? Where is Beth? Is it too much to ask for some sort of storyline for the Divas?
Grade: D
In Ring Segment:
What I Liked:
Shawn Michaels came out to talk about Brock vs. Triple H. It is always nice to see HBK back in the ring no matter what the occasion is. Brock and Paul Heyman interrupt and talk about the match. They do a solid job to put over that Brock is not an entertainer, that is is there to fight. Triple H made the save, which is logical.
What I Disliked:
Brock Lesnar looked uncomfortable on the microphone, and sounds extremely cheesy. Let Heyman do the talking. Also, there is two weeks until Summerslam. Let the physicality begin, at least something. This was just "eh" to me. I did not hate it or like it. What else can you do? Brock should have attacked Michaels here, not lose steam, and have the final encounter next week.
Grade: C-
Alex Riley def. Dolph Ziggler
What I Liked:
I was shocked. I did not think for a second that Riley would get the victory under any circumstances. Jericho distracts Ziggler, which lets Riley steal a win. I was a big fan of this because it gives more fuel to the fire of Ziggler. I expect him to squash Riley to make up for it, but it did a great job of the mind games that Jericho can use. He is very intelligent and needs to use this in a feud with a much younger competitor. There is much to learn from Jericho's quality of matches, feuds, and intelligence.
What I Disliked:
The match was slow, not really eventful, and did nothing for the long term of Riley. I was okay with the outcome and how they paced the match because Ziggler does not need to get hit with a big move or even sell every single move to perfection.
Grade: B-
