Team Cena promo

John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show and Ryback all shared the talking in this one, and did a good job of not getting over-excited, while still selling the real importance of the match, since they are putting something on the line too.

Rowan coming in and saying “win,” like we used to hear him say “run,” was a nice touch.

AJ Lee vs. Nikki Bella – Divas Championship Match

Result – Nikki Bella wins the Divas Championship via pinfall (And kiss).

Rating – Huh?

Rob’s Take

When the match began, Brie Bella went up on the apron and kissed AJ Lee, reminiscent to what AJ did to Daniel Bryan before his match at WrestleMania 28 two and a half years ago. Nikki hit the Rack Attack on AJ and won the title.

What the heck just happened?

Mike’s Take

Nikki got the win with Brie Bella providing AJ with the “kiss of death,” and the best part was the commentary.

I usually feel that commentary misses out on bringing up certain points in history that could enhance a match, for whatever reason, but they didn’t miss it here. Brie’s husband is Daniel Bryan, who AJ infamously provided with a “kiss of death” at WrestleMania XXVIII.

They also didn’t miss the smile on Brie’s face when her sister held up the title. They covered all the bases in this one and didn’t miss a beat. It’s something we rarely get from them and it was very refreshing.
