Rating: 3/5

Shane McMahon and The Miz
Shane McMahon and The Miz

This match was a bit confusing as it was thrown together just a few weeks prior to the PPV. Right out of the gate, Shane McMahon jumped Sheamus with a flurry of fists which is all he seems to do nowadays. Everyone was waiting to see what dangerous spot would Shane McMahon attempt during the match.

Shane tried to hit a double coast-to-coast on Cesaro and Sheamus, but was caught by Cesaro mid air, who turned it into the Cesaro swing. Immediately following the Cesaro swing, Shane locked in the triangle choke on Cesaro.

Towards the end of the match, Sheamus accidently hit Cesaro with the Brogue kick and The Miz then hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Sheamus. Shane McMahon then climbed up to the top rope and surprised everyone with a shooting star press to get the pinfall victory.

The match itself was quite good and involved some good heel tactics from The Bar. At one point during the match, Cesaro was taunting Miz’s father who was at ringside. It was disrespectful but added to an already brutal and exciting match.
