I didn't have a problem with any of the gentlemen in the match that answered TJP's challenge. However, when you say 'Open Challenge', you expect someone unexpected to show up and compete, especially on a stage as big as Slammiversary.

Even if Petey Williams had shown up, it would have been a surprise. Jake Crist, Mack, and Trey Miguel are all great performers and the opening match was awesome, but overall the lack of a big name just made the whole thing seem underwhelming.

Also, I would have liked it if TJP had come out as the victor in this particular match. He is the hot new commodity and would want to rack up a streak of big wins to establish himself as a serious contender in the X-Division.

Anyone with any kind of WWE pedigree (no pun intended) brings a lot more eyeballs to the product.
