* I loved the tag team match. MVP and Kaval looked like tag team partners, and it seemed like MVP was just about to get some swagger back as he leaves. I'm intrigued about the slot he opens up, though. Big Show, Edge and Rey Mysterio are all faces, but too high for the mid-card, and with Christian on the shelf, that pretty much leaves Kofi Kingston as the only real babyface on the roster with any sort of credibility. This means that Kaval, Chris Masters and even Trent Barreta may get a crack.
The right team went over, and the faces looked good in defeat. Perfect booking. Drew McIntyre also seemed to be acting more cocky than he normally does. A slight change in his character might do him good.
* Kofi Kingston beating Jack Swagger again only continues to make him look awesome. Swagger and Kofi are consistently having the best matches of the week, and their stock is only going to go up. My only concern about these two is that I worry that creative is spinning their wheels with them. More so Kofi Kingston than Jack Swagger, who is just being put through the "we don't want you to go running off to MMA" phase. Kofi gets another shot at the IC Title, and it doesn't feel fresh at all to me. Kofi should be moving up to the main event, if anything.
* Has Chris Masters improved or what? The guy is such a steady hand these days. I liked the way he essentially dominated the entire match until Cody hit two moves and won it. It makes Rhodes look sneaky and effective; but Masters also looked better than he normally would -- which is just as well, since he's a Pro for NXT 4.
* I've got to be honest -- I didn't watch the main event between Edge and Kane. This storyline isn't exactly thrilling me. I'd rather Edge have made it all about the World Heavyweight Title, and how his destiny to be a ten-time World Champion is far greater than any supernatural claim Kane can make.
