The Usos and Naomi vs. The Miz, Damien Mizdow and Alicia Fox
Miz got dominated by both Usos to start the match, refusing to tag out to Mizdow. Then, when he finally did, Fox immediately tagged herself in.
When Fox got in the ring, she was busy shooing Mizdow out of the ring, and left herself vulnerable to an attack from Naomi. Fox immediately escaped by tagging out to Miz, who took a quick shot from Jey, before taking over.
When Jimmy got in the match, he turned the tide and had Miz on the ropes. Jimmy went for a cover, but it was broken up by Fox. Naomi came running in and took Fox out. Then, Miz pulled Mizdow in the way of a superkick from Jimmy, which Miz immediately followed with a Skull Crushing Finale on Jimmy for the win.
Miz, Mizdow and Fox defeat The Usos and Naomi via pinfall.
3 out of 5 stars – This was a fun match. They did some creative things with Naomi and Fox, and Mizdow was in top-form for this one.
Roman Reigns w/ Renee Young
Renee asked about teaming with Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose, two guys who will be vying with Reigns for a main event spot at WrestleMania.
Reigns said that the Royal Rumble Match is the Royal Rumble Match, but tonight is tonight. He said that Ambrose is his brother, and he has no issues with Bryan, and that he will be more than happy to fight alongside them tonight. He added that they will be in a lot of trouble at the Royal Rumble.
This was a very good promo from Reigns. The guy can do it, he just needs the right material.
