Ziggle-lina Coming Soon

The WWE is getting all meta with their re-packing debuts. First it was Emmalina, then it was Lana, and now, here we are again waiting for Ziggler in-ring redoubt. He blames the WWE universe for his position within the company and never getting the push that he truly deserve because the fans were always enamored with style over substance. He mocked Elias and Stone Cold Steve Austin, among others, and said he would be in the ring next week.

Winner Chooses the Stipulation for Their Title Rematch
Usos vs New Day

Result: Usos def The New Day via Roll Up

Rating: 2.0 out of 5 stars

The deadliest finisher in the game takes down another victim. When Jimmie rolled up Kofi for the win and the right to choose the stipulation for their next match. Despite their epic battles on PPVs this TV match was pretty ordinary.

The most important thing I took from this match was that despite being injured Xavier Woods isn’t injured to the extent that they felt they needed to take him off the roster. Sure, he’ll probably be on the sidelines for their next match, but at least it’s not in a hospital bed.

Ellsworth and Carmella on the Rocks

Backstage James Ellsworth conducts his own interview  asking Carmella what she planned to do next. But after Ellsworth gave away her plans to cash in last week, Carmella was in no mood to talk. Luckily, Natalya interrupted and told Carmella it was a blessing in disguise because if she had tried to cash in she would have made Carmella the Baron Corbin of the women’s division.

BOOM!

Next week the two will face off and the following week Natalya will have a rematch with Naomi.
