Naomi pre-taped promo
Naomi said that people think her pinning Nikki Bella on SmackDown was a fluke, but she said she proved that she could beat the Divas Champion. She said that if she can beat the Divas Champion, then she can be the Divas Champion.
Natalya vs. Naomi
Both Divas struggled to gain an advantage early, even doing the lame spot where they went for a dropkick at the same time.
Natalya would gain control of the match, and it would stay that way, for the most part, until the end, when she went for a Sharpshooter, and Naomi reversed it into a small package pin.
Naomi defeats Natalya via pinfall.
2 out of 5 stars – Decent Divas match, but they could certainly do better. They just need more time.
Kane and Seth Rollins backstage
Kane was seething backstage when Rollins walked up.
Rollins apologized for leaving Kane to take an RKO after the match earlier, then laughed about Kane letting Orton think that he actually has a chance at getting a title shot. Kane surprised Rollins by explaining that he is considering giving Orton the shot.
Kane said that Rollins vs. Orton is a good match for Extreme Rules. Rollins tried to reason with Kane, but Kane said that Rollins is better than Orton.
Rollins then walked out, complaining about the office smelling, then Ambrose walked out of Kane’s bathroom. As a result of this, Kane put Ambrose in a match with Luke Harper.
Not a bad segment, until the bathroom humor at the end. Why does WWE think this stuff is funny? Not even Ambrose could save it.
