Analysis: It’s even painful to see what WWE is doing with Sandow, who was the winner of the MiTB ladder match last year. Sadly, his fall from grace has been anything but impressive. You can’t help but feel sad for the former intellectual savior.
Xavier Woods vs. Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas cut a promo about Bryan being stripped, and told Bryan to Bo – lieve and make a triumphant return.
Both men locked up as Bo locked in a side headlock. Xavier took him down and mocked Dallas. Bo came back with a knee to the gut and showed off. Bo worked on Xavier’s shoulder as Xavier tried to make his comeback. The crowd started a “CM Punk” chant as Bo took Xavier down as he was coming down from the top rope. Bo connected with the running Bo – dog to pick up the victory.
Winner: Bo Dallas
Rating: ½ *
Analysis: It was your usual Bo Dallas match. And we wonder why WWE hasn’t been getting good ratings.
Post match, Bo shook Xavier’s hand and told him to keep bo – lieving.
Back from the commercial, and Heyman was in the ring as he talked about Brock Lesnar conquering The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. He plugged in Lesnar being from University of Minnesota, and said Lesnar had the idea of doing something. He said they wanted to celebrate Lesnar’s victory tonight, and led to the fans believing that Lesnar was on RAW! He introduced Cesaro for his match.
Money in the Bank ladder match qualifier for WWE World Heavyweight championship:
Cesaro (With Heyman) vs. RVD
RVD started things off with a huge heel kick for a one count as the crowd chanted “We want Lesnar”. Cesaro brought RVD down with a shoulder block, but RVD came back with a monkey flip. RVD came down with a thrust kick from the top rope as RVD came down on Cesaro on the outside with a top rope plancha as WWE went into commercial.
Back from commercial as Cesaro was in control, with a side headlock. Van Dam dropped Cesaro with a spinning heel kick for a one kick. Cesaro picked RVD and threw him with a fall away slam! On the outside, Cesaro worked over RVD and brought him back inside the ring. Cesaro connected with an uppercut and double foot stomp for a nearfall. Cesaro tried to keep RVD down, but RVD came back with the split legged moonsault for a nearfall. Cesaro stopped RVD with a big uppercut and a double underhook powerbomb for a nearfall. RVD rolled Cesaro up for a nearfall and RVD followed it up with the rolling thunder for another nearfall! Cesaro crotched RVD near the turnbuckles and worked over him. Cesaro connected with the Neutralizer to pick up the victory.
Winner: Cesaro
Rating: ** ¾
Analysis: This match wasn’t as great as their previous bouts, but it saw the right result with Cesaro qualifying for the ladder match. My bet is on Cesaro to win the WWE World Heavyweight championship, which will lead to some great matches with the likes of Bryan and Lesnar. This is what Cesaro had to tweet after the match.
Back from commercial, and Cole introduced us to Seth Rollins who came out to his new theme music (Not a fan of it). The crowd booed him before he even spoke, and stopped Cole and said he didn’t understand what the big deal was about. He said he did what was best for business, his business. He said he created The Shield, and said he could destroy what he had built. He said that he was the architect. He called Dean a lunatic, and found himself in a ditch. He called Roman Reigns a golden boy, and said he had anger like no other, but they needed Seth to keep them under control. He said they owe him their success.
Seth was asked about The Shield being a team, but Seth said they lost to Wyatt Family. He then said they conquered the world and beat Evolution at Payback. He said he learnt from Evolution that to be successful, you have to evolve and adapt, as the crowd started a huge “You sold out” chant. He said he bought in to the evolution of Seth Rollins. He talked about people saying he backstabbed his brothers, but he said to him, they were just business partners. He said he severed a business relationship; he talked about the past two years, and told everyone to believe in Seth Rollins. Seth plugged in Ambrose saying that they will beat him down, and called out The Shield.
Ambrose and Reigns made their way out, but the lights went out as Harper and Rowan were in the ring. All four started brawling as Seth tried to get a cheap shot in, but Ambrose and Reigns cornered him. Bray then made the save as Rollins ran out of the arena. John Cena came out to make the save as the Wyatts retreated.
