Emma vs. Alicia Fox
Emma and Fox starting things off, with Fox going at her aggressively. Emma countered with the Emma-woe, and Fox threatened to walk out, but attacked Emma from behind. Emma ducked a running boot and rolled her up to pick up the victory.
Winner: Emma
Rating: ½ *
Post match, Fox attacked Emma again and delivered a tilt – a – whirl backbreaker. She then threw a fit around ringside.
Analysis: Nothing much to say there. Story going into the PPV is that Fox has already picked up a victory against Paige, and she is unpredictable. We’ll have to wait and see if Paige retains the title, and if AJ Lee returns to get her revenge on Paige.
Sandow debuted his new character as Davy Crockett, and Adam Rose came out with the Exotic Express.
Adam Rose vs. Davy Crockett
Before the bout got underway properly, Swagger came out along with Colter and one of Rose’s Rosebuds. Davy tried to take advantage, but Rose planted him to pick up the victory.
Swagger then attacked Rose, but Rose planted Swagger with a spinebuster and attacked Swagger on the mat.
Winner: Adam Rose
Rating: Dud
Analysis: That was an odd way for Rose to debut. Anyway, this sets up the bout between Swagger and Rose this Sunday. It would’ve made more sense for Rose to debut on a PPV, but WWE isn’t known for doing sensible things I suppose.
