7. Paige beat Cameron. Paige won via submission with the PTO. The Bellas were on commentary.

Goldust vs. Stardust was announced for Fastlane. Both men delivered backstage promos.

9. Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler. J&J Security were banned from ringside. Big Show and Kane came to ringside during the match, then Ryback and Erick Rowan came out to even the sides. Rollins won with a Curb Stomp. J&J came out and all five men attacked Rowan and Ziggler while Ziggler was still out. The heels stood tall after the beatdown.

Rowan hasn't benefited at all whenever he's facing Big Show. Feeding Rowan to make Big Show look like a huge threat didn't even help Reigns either.

Had to look it up and he's never beaten Big Show even on house shows in singles matches. Has a few tag team wins but someone else likely did the pins.

Both Rowan and Harper have just kind of been lost the past couple of months. Harper at least had some momentum for a while, but it's even more criminal that he's been treated like a nobody than it is for Rowan.

Once again, they're just treating anyone that's not currently one of like six people they can pay attention to at a time like shit. In two months, you can go from main eventing PPVs to losing like ten gimmick matches in a row to begging for a match for a championship that hasn't meant anything in a while with a guy who couldn't even beat Sin Cara. Or you can be the one to vanquish the Authority to lasting thirty seconds in the Royal Rumble two months later.

I don't even really care who is losing, I just wish they'd quit ADHDing everyone's fucking push. If Lesnar was around regularly, they probably would have had him job to an Uso via distraction finish by now.

Owen White v.s. Bray Wyatt is meta, meh. I mean, really? A few SD promos and Wyatt gets to have a match with White? Stupid ass booking team

slik's stunt double? A hard job for a busy stud. However with a biblical poster as the double, I find it biblical

The WWE have too many faces trying to get through the door at one time. This is where a brand split would come in handy, as Rowan, Ziggler & Ryback could be making something of themselves on a separate show. As it stands, Rowan would best benefit from re-aligning with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania, which I'm thinking might actually happen. He and Harper might get a run with the Tag Team Titles this time.

Way to cannibalize your tag team scene too. Couldn't Rusev have just destroyed a bunch of jobbers? Like actual jobbers, hold your jokes.

Setting up these Tag Team Title feuds the way the WWE does, with all these meaningful singles matches, is tedious too. I know The Usos and Kidd/Cesaro aren't the best talkers, but this is the sort of program where you have them practice that sort of thing.

The Ascension and The New Day barely matter. How is a match pitting them against each other going to help either team -- especially when one has to lose?

Didn't Ambrose an IC Title shot by pinning Bad News Barrett? Now R-Truth is logically the #1 Contender for the IC Title. Why not have Ambrose creepily crash commentary and have Barrett knock out Truth and actually look good for their Fastlane match?

Dean Ambrose on commentary was great.

"All right, guys, I've got to go. I've got to go do a weather report for Telemundo."

I've lost a lot of interest in Dean Ambrose due to his booking, but I think he'll be better off long-term because of it. He's the coolest mid-card act in the world right now, and people will eventually demand to see him move up the card. Plus I think he's taking Money in the Bank this year. But Ambrose is a fucking delight when he talks.
