Grade: 7.5/10
Trending
Despite the quality of this match, Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson’s guest commentary did distract from the action, as the focus was a bit too much on them. Despite this, they were entertaining in the backstage segments they were featured in, as well as providing some entertainment on commentary.
Overall, not a bad celebrity appearance, unlike most others in the past. In regards to the actual matchup, it was a decent bout that was aided by Seth Rollins’ interference, as Owens and Jericho were protected in defeat. Rollins’ pedigree on Jericho after the match while staring at Owens was a nice touch to his earlier promises of bringing JeriKO down, and his babyface persona was in full effect here.
The New Day were solid as always, and a win kept their momentum up as well. But, once again Owens was presented as a tad weak, as he looked like a chump after being distracted by Rollins. Overall, a decent bout that kept New Day and Rollins’ momentum, despite Owens and Jericho’s momentum being hampered.
