Andrade vs. Ricochet [Grudge Match]

Andrade remains aggressive early on in the match with the double knees at the corner turnbuckle. He is about finish off the jobber with a Hammerlock DDT, but Zelina Vega suggest that Andrade Hammerlock DDTs the jobber on the concrete outside the ring, like was done to Humberto Carillo last week on Raw. Before Andrade could do so, Ricochet runs into the ring to stop him and challenges him a match next! The show goes to commercial.

Back from commercial, Ricochet springboards off the ropes but Andrade delivers a picture perfect dropkick to Ricochet in mid air. Ricochet bounces back with a Suicide Dive to the outside, but Andrade rolls to the other side of the ring to lure Ricochet to the concrete and he back body drops Ricochet on the concrete to gain advantage in this bout. The show goes to commercial.

Back from commercial, Ricochet delivers a Step Up Enziguiri, Dropkick, and Standing Shooting Star Press for the two-count. Ricochet attempts the Recoil but Andrade counters with a back elbow for the two-count. Ricochet delivers a brain buster to Andrade and goes to the top rope. Zelina Vega pushes Ricochet off the top rope when the ref was not looking and Andrade capitalizes with the Hammerlock DDT for the three-count and the victory.

Result: Andrade

Grade: 3.0/5.0 Stars

Analysis: Solid bout between these two mid card superstars and sneaky assist by Zelina Vega for the finish. Andrade continuously shows why he will be a great United States Champion on Monday Nights, and it’s great to see that Andrade and Zelina Vega are not breaking up after all.
