Winners & Sole Survivors: Kalisto, Jey Uso & Ryback

• EA’s Take: Unless something’s going to come out of New Day walking out on Sheamus, I didn’t really see any point to this other than ‘keeping the tradition going’, which you did anyways on the Kickoff Show. I’d have had the heels go over here, I dont understand the point of legitimately making Sheamus look stupid. It’s possible they did this to try and make us forget about his MITB briefcase, thus making a cash-in later in the night more surprising. This guy is ging to have the title at some point though, I’d be trying to make him not necessarily look strong…just not like an idiot.

Winner and STILL WWE Divas Champion: Charlotte (Figure Eight)

• EA’s Take: The crowd was not into this at all, but I actually enjoyed it. I loved the aggressiveness from both ladies and thought it was a hard-hitting slugfest, which is what it should have been after Paige made it personal last Monday night. A little surprised that Charlotte got the clean win, I thought they may stretch this out into TLC which could very well still happen. They’ll need to finish this off before we are on The Road To WrestleMania, where I’d find it hard to imagine that Sasha Banks won’t be involved in the title picture.

Video: Earlier tonight, Jojo caught up with Dean Ambrose following his win. Ambrose states that everyone knew this day would come when he’d have to meet Roman Reigns for the title. Reigns is his brother and he’d give him the shirt off his back, but tonight he’ll do whatever he needs to win. Roman walks in and agrees with Dean, wishing him luck.

Match #5: Tyler Breeze w/Summer Rae vs. Dolph Ziggler
They tie-up and jockey for position at the start, Breeze with an armdrag and he props himself on the top turnbuckle to relax a little. They lock-up again, Ziggler with a quick roll-up that barely gets 1, follows with another and scores with an armdrag, mocking Tyler by relaxing on the corner. Prince Pretty takes exception, attempts a splash and misses, Dolph following with a dropkick and Tyler to the outside to regroup. The Show Off heads out after him, Breeze uses Summer as a shield and slides into the ring, tries to catch Dolph on the apron and walks into a boot.

Breeze looks to escape out the other side, Ziggler drags him back in, The King Of Cuteville dropping him on the middle rope and Dolph spills outside. Tyler rolls him back in, pummels The Show Off with boots in the corner and right hands, then shoots him in for a back elbow that only gets 1.

Winner: Tyler Breeze (Unprettier)

• EA’s Take: Again, a match that I enjoyed, but the crowd was dead due to it’s placement on the card. This should have opened the show or even been on the Kickoff instead of the first 5 on 5 match. Seems to be the people are only caring about the tournament matches thus far, which isn’t surprising to me. Atlanta isn’t exactly known for it’s passion when it comes to sports.
