Best: Luke Harper and Naomi’s Big Performances
Luke Harper has star-potential. If put in the correct spot, he could definitely break out and be a major star in WWE’s midcard. He could even have a few runs in the main event, babyface or heel.
His first main roster run separated from Bray Wyatt was derailed when he was awkwardly put in the John Cena vs. The Authority Survivor Series Match in 2014. Eventually, The Wyatt Family was put back together and Harper returned to being a sidekick.
Now, though, Harper is on his own again, and he seemed to come into this match with a bit of steam. Harper needed a big performance in this match to really capitalize on that, and he delivered.
Randy Orton received a babyface reaction from the crowd, more than Harper. However, by the end of the match, the crowd was going crazy for both men.
Despite the loss, it felt like a really big step forward for Harper.
Naomi needed a big performance in her match, as well.
Naomi has been a mainstay in the women’s division, and she’s received multiple pushed in the past. Every time, though, she had a noticeable botch in her big, step-forward match. It’s left many fans skeptical about her. That botch didn’t come tonight.
Naomi brought her A-game to the ring against Alexa Bliss, and the crowd was ready for her to win the title, and they went crazy when she did.
It was a beautiful moment that brought Naomi to tears, and it felt much deserved.
