The show starts with Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez once again showing their parody of Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter.  Same scene from Raw.

Alberto Del Rio (World champion, with Ricardo Rodriguez) vs. The Big Show.

These two know each other quite well now and it led to a very good match.  Del Rio is big enough to get some power in on Big Show.  Enough for the fans to believe that he is moving the giant around all on his own.  Del Rio wrestles Big Show much better as a face, with Show as the monster heel he should always be, than they did when the roles were reversed.  Swagger comes down to mess everything up but that wasn’t a bad match.  Big Show wins by countout.

The Usos vs. Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre (with Jinder Mahal).

Good to see Drew isn’t too injured after that horrible beating he suffered on Raw.  Good change he’s working hurt though.  Drew is at least playing the weaker man tonight and the Usos work him over every chance they get.  Heath keeps trying to save his partner but the Usos prove to be too fast for one and a half men.  The Usos hit an assisted Superfly Splash for the win.  Better luck next week with a healed Drew.

Lot of recap stuff.

Wade Barrett (Intercontinental champion) vs. Justin Gabriel.

 

Wade is absolutely dominant in this match.  He controls nearly all of it and makes just one mistake.  That one mistake could have led to Justin coming off of the top and stealing the match away.  But Barrett’s experience and size leads him away from defeat and the Bull Hammer brings him to victory.
