Who Does Kevin Owens Face?

We thought we were going to get Sami Zayn vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz for the right to face Kevin Owens. Instead, he introduces Stardust, Sin Cara and Zack Ryder. Ryder gets beaten into the corner by Cara and Stardust. Ryder hits a dropkick and then Stardust breaks up the count. Hurricanranna and a two count from Sin Cara. Stardust tries to get the pin, but Zayn comes out, followed by The Miz and Dolph Ziggler. They all get in his face and Ryder gets a two count after a suplex. The match ends and all men are trying to get a piece of Kevin Owens.

A little bit of a cluster, but it seems that we might get that Ladder Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Are 3 of the 7 opponents threats? No, but they get a shot and can only add some nice moves and intrigue on some fun spots. I am okay with it, but it seems like it was thrown together out of nowhere.

Charlotte defeated Natalya

A quick match between the champion and one of her previous enemies, with Charlotte getting the clean victory over Nattie on Raw tonight. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch provided some good commentary about their match at WrestleMania, but I wonder why nothing else happened after Charlotte picked up the victory. Should there be some interaction in the ring or should they continue to tease the physicality? I would go with the former because I do think WWE already has 4-5 matches that opponents have not been really getting physical to build their feud.
