Sean Ross Sappdown Live (6/13): Podcast Notes for WWE MITB Go Home Show!

New Day & Breezango (w/ Big E) defeated Usos & Colons

  • New Day had a really cool entrance with the Soul Rebels.
  • I loved the "off off off Broadway Straight Outta Compton" line.
  • Other than that, we get some pretty terrible promo work.
  • This is a point I've kind of echoed for several talents, but we're seeing some of the offense from these guys for the first time in a while, so this doesn't feel as stale.
  • We get the commercial PIP after a breakdown spot that looks like it's going to get messy, but comes together well.
  • I thought the Colons were particularly good in this match.Tom Phillips was particularly bad.
  • Xavier Woods landed an awesome dive over the top onto multiple opponents.
  • Good to see Kofi wrestling again, too. WWE got back a lot of people at once.

Backstage Crappenings

  • I may be alone, but I love annoying Sami Zayn.
  • Zack Ryder is back! He says he has unfinished business with Mojo Rawley as a team.
  • Fashion Files time. Tyler Breeze was attacked!
  • Lana cuts a bad pre written promo. Another dove cries.

 

Naomi defeated Tamina

  • Lana hits the ring to a big pop. 
  • "We want Rusev" chants.
  • This is pretty good, especially for what I expected.
  • Tamina does the hip attack in the corner really well.
  • Maybe the best Tamina match I've seen. The one against Beth Phoenix wasn't bad. 
  • Lana hits her hammerlock spinebuster finish on Naomi. I liked the move, too.
  • JBL catches himself say "championship belt" and is upset.

 

Jinder Mahal promo

  • Mahal's delivery is a little different and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
  • The Singh Brothers clapping is pretty funny. 
  • Randy Orton drills Mahal with a perfect RKO. 
  • That may be the first time Orton has gotten to Mahal and ended up on top.
  • Great reaction for Orton after.
  • The promo from Randy Orton backstage was concise.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya

  • These two had an awesome match years ago before Charlotte got really good.
  • Becky Lynch watches sideways.
  • Charlotte hits a moonsault, Natalya a sit-down powerbomb. 
  • This was pretty good stuff. Good showing from the women tonight.

 

Sami Zayn, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens

  • Pretty standard early on.
  • Zayn hits his dive on just Owens. He'd been so good about making it make sense lately, too. 
  • This is your typical main event six-man tag match. No stakes and bad commentary is a terrible mix.
  • I love Sami Zayn having Baron Corbin's number though.
  • Corbin attacks with a ladder, but production MISSES IT. 
  • Nakamura climbs to the top and grabs the briefcase. The crowd goes nuts.
