The Undercard

wwe raw reaction The Uso's defeated Rybaxel to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship

This was a very solid tag team match. The story of the match was that Jey Uso hurt his leg right before the commercial break. Jimmy took control offensively until the tag team works of Ryback and Axel took over. Ryback hit a meathook clothesline and ended up missing Shell Shock. They tried to hit a double suplex from the top rope, but he reversed it and tagged in Jey. Jey gets in the ring and hits multiple kicks to Ryback. Axel hit a Perfect Plex onto Jimmy, but Jey hit a splash from the top to pick up the win.

I really enjoyed the tag team efforts from both teams. Rybaxel are really good together because they aren't strong as single competitors. What Axel lacks is what Ryback has. The only problem: neither have a strong personality. That will affect their longevity.

Score: 7/10

Sheamus defeated Titus O'Neil

Well, that was strange. Titus attacked Sheamus from behind before the match starts. The referee separates him and then Sheamus hits a Brogue Kick for the win.

If WWE put real stock into Titus, he would have dominated Sheamus en route to a victory. That did not happen because the future of Sheamus is brighter than Titus O'Neil's.

Score: 4/10

Hugh Jackman comes out and talks about Dolph Ziggler and his past. Damien Sandow comes out in a superhero type gear. I believe his name was Magnito, or something like this. Sandow talks about how he sees blind half wits in the ring. He says they will meet the same fate. The crowd says "knock him out." Sandow shows the power of magnitism. Jackman hip tosses him and Ziggler hits a ZigZag and the segment ends.

I like Hugh, I really do. I will say that I laughed, but this segment was a little ridiculous. Go see X-Men, that is about it. I've seen much worse segments.

Score: 4/10

Cesaro defeated Jack Swagger

Paul Heyman tries to be comical in the beginning with a joke. I thought this was a sign. WWE will try to keep Heyman light and Cesaro a face. That is going to be a plus in the long run, until Brock Lesnar comes back and wonders what happened to his advocate. This could set up Cesaro vs. Lesnar in a very interesting way. I do think WWE is dropping the ball with the Swagger/Cesaro feud. I would love to see these guys in a 20 minute match with pure wrestling and aggression. It would be a stellar match.

Score: 5/10
