* Sami Zayn and Cesaro tore that fucking house down. Holy shit was that good. You can tell the WWE is high on Sami Zayn and I can't wait to see what they do with him. Although the next lot of NXT stuff has been taped, I actually had a pre-Arrival fantasy of Zayn showing up on RAW after Batista trolls the WWE Universe by using CM Punk's theme music and talking about how fat we are, etc. Batista is disrespectful to Renee Young in a backstage inteview and Zayn stands up for her. Batista accepts a match which Zayn wins when Orton hits a sneaky RKO on Batista while the referee is distracted by something.
* The WWE is high on Mojo Rawley. This is one of those "Deal with it" guys. I think a lot needs to be worked on as far as presentation goes there, but what do I know?
* Paige and Emma had a good Women's Championship match. I think it suffered from being on a card with Zayn/Cesaro (as did the Ladder Match to be honest). I wouldn't have been opposed to these two opening the show, but I can understand why they went with Zayn vs. Cesaro. I have to be honest: Part of me wants to see a heel NXT Emma now, but that would probably clash with WWE canon.
* Really wanted to see Tyler Breeze vs. Xavier Woods. I understand what they are doing with Rusev, but dammit! I'm not sure if Rusev will catch wild-fire as a tough foreign heel. Part of me would be more interested if he was a tough foreigner who squashed heels. Build Rusev up for a match against Jack Swagger and possibly Cesaro (if the split between he and Swagger doesn't happen). Plus, if you make Lana a girl that the WWE Universe is supposed to like, she can play damsel-in-distress or even be promoted for her sex appeal down the line.
* I hope these issues between Woods & Breeze lead to a proper feud between the two. Give them a Handicap Match between the two and have Breeze jump off the ring apron when Woods is trying to make a tag, leaving Rusev to finish Woods. Simple and effective.
* I have to be honest -- the Ladder Match didn't really do it for me. It was good, but it just suffered from being on a card with Cesaro vs. Zayn in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing how Bo Dallas evolves his character now. Does he become more deranged? Maybe we will see more of the "Bray Wyatt" in Bo's geneology?
