Nikki Bella vs. Natalya
Nikki was all over Natalya, working over her arm, which Natalya sold really well throughout the match.
Natalya got back into it with a big discus clothesline, but Nikki kicked out. Natalya immediately followed by trying to lock in the Sharpshooter, but she powered out of it and Brie climbed on the apron to try and distract Natalya, as she held up the Divas Championship.
With the referee’s back turned, and Nikki trying to recover, Paige hit Natalya with a huge slap, making her an easy target for the Sharpshooter.
Natalya defeats Bella via submission.
2.75 out of 5 stars – Go watch a Nikki Bella match from a couple of years ago. It’s really impressive how far she’s come.
Big Show and Kane w/ Renee Young
Show shut Renee down before she could even ask a question.
Show said that he’s going to KO all three of his opponents tonight, just like he did to Roman Reigns and John Cena on Monday.
Show announced that he is going to be in the Royal Rumble Match, and said he’s going to dominate because he is a giant. He said that there is no group of Superstars that can eliminate him, even though he’s never won the match, and a group of Superstars always manages to eliminate him.
Right then, Show’s teammate for the night, Kane, came and said that Show must not have heard that he is going to be in the Royal Rumble as well. The two big men then had an intense staredown.
Show is just awful.
