Nakamura is a lame-duck champ who hasn't defended his Intercontinental title in two months, and Boogs is actually over, so it would behoove WWE to try to protect him. Worse yet, it only hurts whoever comes out on the losing end. There was nothing inherently wrong with the match, outside of the forced usage of Thanksgiving props, but this is very much a feud going nowhere.

Nakamura put him through a table full of Thanksgiving dinner leftovers, but it was Angel who benefited as he delivered the Wing Clipper and scored the victory. The rivalry between Shinsuke Nakamura, Rick Boogs and Los Lotharios continued this week as Boogs battled Angel in a "Thanksgiving Leftovers" match.Īfter finding himself on the defensive for most of the contest, Boogs fought back, only for Humberto to play his guitar at ringside, creating a distraction. Holland is a rough, rigid worker who is still very inexperienced considering his opposition, but working with the best in the business will help him evolve and grow as a performer. Unless there are doubts about Holland's ability to thrive at this level, he probably should have won his first match on television.Īt the very least, he was given the opportunity to dominate a superior wrestler, letting his inexperience and confidence prove the difference between victory and defeat. It feels almost sacrilegious to complain about Cesaro winning a match, but in this context, it didn't make sense. His hubris got the best of him, though, as the Swiss Superman scored the pinfall from out of nowhere, infuriating the newcomer and Sheamus. While The Celtic Warrior hyped his young protege up, Holland dominated the in-ring action. Let them tear the house down in some heated main events and reap the rewards.Įspecially considering the lack of ready babyfaces beyond Hardy, McIntyre and maybe King Woods.Ĭesaro sought to teach young Ridge Holland a lesson Friday night as the Brit's mentor, Sheamus, watched from ringside.
He's beloved, he can work a main event style WWE match and his strengths mesh well with Reigns. Hardy has been red-hot of late and would make the perfect top contender to Reigns between now and WrestleMania. The hometown boy was motivated, turned in a great performance as the babyface in peril before coming back to score the decisive pinfall. There was nothing to this one that you wouldn't see in a house show, but the crowd loved Hardy. Hardy and McIntyre defeated Corbin and Moss
He unloaded on the opposition and tagged the hometown hero, born and raised in North Carolina, back into the match, and Hardy scored the hard-fought victory with a Swanton Bomb. McIntyre received the hot tag after minutes of Corbin and Moss dominating. The fan favorites started hot, but the heels wiped out Hardy prior to the commercial break. Jeff Hardy and Drew McIntyre teamed up to battle Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss, whom the babyfaces beat up and embarrassed a week ago on SmackDown. Whatever the case may be, it was an eyebrow-raising line, for sure. Is there something we don't know? Was it just a throwaway line meant to generate discussion? Could Reigns be negotiating? Speaking of The Head of the Table, there wasn't much to take away from his promo except one gut-punch of a line that insinuated Reigns believes his time in WWE may be winding down. For now, it was a nice touch to a character that has been every bit as great as Reigns' over the last year. He bullied Braxton, and that will inevitably come back to bite him in the ass. With backup, he takes on an air of authority that he otherwise does not have. Here is Heyman, sharing the ring with Reigns, feeling overly confident in his ability to get one over on Kayla after months of her exposing his links to Lesnar. Heyman browbeating Braxton may have seemed somewhat meanspirited, but it is a great look at the psyche of the special counsel. "When my days are done around here, which could be sooner than later, the whole world will acknowledge me," The Head of the Table concluded.
The overconfident Reigns claimed he could beat one, two, three or four because he was The Tribal Chief. Reigns said he didn't care about rumors because he beat Lesnar's ass and that was a fact. Heyman criticized Braxton for her "rumors," going so far as to say he was ashamed of her before dismissing her from the squared circle. Kayla Braxton kicked off this week's show in the ring, and just as she was about to bring up rumors of Brock Lesnar's suspension running out, Universal champion Roman Reigns and special counsel Paul Heyman interrupted, making their way to the squared circle.
