#2 Best: Setting up secondary feuds

The title matches weren’t the only contests set, this week

Sure, we have two new number one contenders after hard-hitting contests this week. The good news is that; that wasn’t all that happened on the show. WWE used the Battle Royal and the Fatal Four Way elimination match to set up secondary feuds as well.

The elimination of Rhyno by Heath Slater is enough to further tensions between the two former tag team champions and close allies. This could really lead to a very interesting feud, and maybe even elevate Slater as a singles star. The return of The Miz in the Fatal Four Way main event cost Dean Ambrose a big opportunity as well.

This could very well build up to a feud for the Intercontinental Championship between these two men.
