Nakamura and Rusev actually had a nice little match, I felt!
In case you missed the opening contest, go back and watch it. The crowd was really into the contest and I thought it was one of the better matches on the card. AJ and Joe had a decent match, but it felt like I've seen it far too many times. The same can be said about Ziggler and Rollins.

The crowd was actually pretty much into the US title contenders and they chanted for 'Rusev Day' through the course of the contest. This is an indication of just how much of a global brand WWE is, overall. It is a household name and each of the performers is a true global superstar.
Shinsuke Nakamura won the match, of course. He won it clean, and that's a nice notch in his belt.
I wonder who his next opponent is, after this!
