Commentators: Chris Russo, Byron Saxton, & S. William Regal. Ring announcer: Caylee Turner.
Jason Jordan vs. Damien Sandow: Lights! Spotlight please! Sandow enlightens us...you're welcome. The fans chant "Diva" because Sandow has pink tights. The commentators refer to Sandow as a "Smackdown superstar" though he hasn't actually debuted in the ring on WWE TV yet. Sandow wastes no time cheating with a pull of the tights and a yank of the hair...then he rolls out to regroup when that doesn't work. An eyerake finally gives Sandow an advantage...he actually pulls out the Cattle Mutilation at one point. CARTWHEEL~! Jordan comes back with a running Buff Blockbuster for a near-fall but gets pulled into the turnbuckles by the tights. Sandow teases the M-14 neckbreaker but Jordan escapes the move and gets a bridging O'Connor Roll for the upset pin!
Conor O'Brian(w/ Kenneth Cameron) vs. Jiro Takizawa: Don't know if The Ascension is at "full force" but at least we have more than one active member in the group. IT'S THE BIG FOOT finishes in short order.
Women's Champion Raquel Diaz enlightens us...why not?
The commentators give us an injury update on Roman Leakee...he'll be out of action for a little while longer. In a pre-recorded interview, Leakee says that he'll reveal the identity of his attacker in due time. He talks about WrestleMania and the Hall Of Fame induction of Yokozuna...he had to miss it due to his knee injury, but he vows to make it to Mania XXIX.
Aiden English vs. Bray Wyatt(w/ Eli Cottonwood): Wyatt is the artist formerly known as Husky Harris...he shakes the referee's hand before the matchup and also shakes English's hand. Wyatt dominates, quickly delivering a huge avalanche and the Wave Of The Future. Wyatt picks him up only to drop him with a huge uranagi before getting the academic pin.
Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins is next on the microphone...he has a tough title defense next week against Kassius Ohno.
Corey Graves & Jake Carter(w/ Abraham Washington) vs. Mike Dalton & C.J. Parker for the Tag Team Titles: A.W. is introduced as a "WWE Superstar"...that's stretching it a bit. Parker is a former Tag Champ and Dalton was briefly Heavyweight Champion so they're no strangers to gold...though this is their first match as a team. Dalton tries for a sunset flip out of the corner on Graves, but Carter gets the tag and nails Dalton from behind. Dalton nicely counters a double-team attempt with a double armdrag and tags in Parker...C.J. cleans house and double-clotheslines the champs to the floor, then he takes out Carter with a plancha as Dalton nails the suicide dive on Graves!
The challengers fall victim to another blind tag as Graves levels Parker with a cheapshot...the champs utilize the dreaded abdominal-stretch-with-assist for extra damage. The ref finally catches the illegal leverage, but it's not enough of an opening for C.J. to tag out of the match. Parker finally backflips out of a double back suplex attempt, dodges Graves, and low-bridges Carter out of the ring...hot tag to Dalton! Dalton's a house afire, nearly pinning Graves with a rana before Carter breaks it up. C.J. takes himself and Carter out of the ring and A.W. argues with the ref, allowing Carter to hit Dalton in the throat with his manager's walking stick! That's enough for Graves to roll up Dalton for the cheap win to retain the Tag Titles...
Next week: Seth Rollins vs. Kassius Ohno for the Heavyweight Title. So long from the Sunshine State!
