Braden would knock Dolph's brains out with his hands on his hips.

That's a good question:

If you win your debut, it's against a jobber, which illustrates that you're good enough to beat a guy that everyone can beat. If you lose your debut, it's against a top tier monster, which illustrates that you weren't good enough to start where you started, and maybe you should start out against some jobbers. Either way, debuts are rarely impressive when it comes to the pinfall. It's the match itself you need to watch.
