The Big Show defeats David Otunga
What I Liked:
Not much here to comment on. Otunga, who is a heel, gets squashed by a full fledged heel, Big Show. He hits a side slam after numerous punches, and then connect with a WMD.
What I Disliked:
What is the point of this match? David Otunga is a great build, a solid competitor, and has a bright future. Nobody takes him seriously when he is used for a whipping dog. He comes back and gets dominated by Big Show. Why the hell were these guys facing one another? I honestly did not get this whatsoever, it did nothing for either guy and was a wasted segment.

Zack Ryder and Kane vs. The Miz and Daniel Bryan end in No Contest
What I Liked:
This was an action packed match with four guys who can connect with the audience in very different ways. Kane tags in Ryder, hesitantly, and Ryder hits a few nice moves onto The Miz. I thought the chemistry between Miz and Ryder was really well planned out. Both guys got some offense, but it was a crucial neckbreaker from Miz to Ryder that got his team the upper hand. Bryan comes in and takes control of Ryder, hitting kicks to his chest, and locks in some submission moves. This was all about the furthering of Bryan vs. Kane, as you can tell they are not done with those two. We get a few errors, in terms, when Bryan hits Miz on accident. The Miz ends up walking away, and Kane goes after Bryan. Bryan escapes and an angry Kane attacks Ryder. This furthered a feud, and potentially one with Miz and Ryder. I do think there is something with Ryder that the crowd loves, and he still sells merchandise. There is no doubt his stock fell fast, but there is time and some possibilities for Miz vs. Ryder if they want to go that route. It ciuld really help Ryder gain more relevance, as well as Miz finding a feud that could be a story builder for a few months. Reality Star vs. Internet Star. There is good things that could be built from it.
What I Disliked:
Although the match was really entertaining, Do we see Kane as a guy who should continue to feud with Daniel Bryan? Personally, I like it, but I am not sure what they can really do with this. I feel like they have nothing for Bryan or Kane, so they were randomly chosen together. Bryan is going to go to Anger Management, so we may see Charlie Sheen in some capacity. This is more about Bryan than anyone, and overshadowed the other three. Was it for the better? Not sure about that yet.
