Sean Ross Sappdown Live (6/13): Podcast Notes for WWE MITB Go Home Show!

New Day & Breezango (w/ Big E) defeated Usos & Colons

• New Day had a really cool entrance with the Soul Rebels.
• I loved the "off off off Broadway Straight Outta Compton" line.
• Other than that, we get some pretty terrible promo work.
• This is a point I've kind of echoed for several talents, but we're seeing some of the offense from these guys for the first time in a while, so this doesn't feel as stale.
• We get the commercial PIP after a breakdown spot that looks like it's going to get messy, but comes together well.
• I thought the Colons were particularly good in this match.Tom Phillips was particularly bad.
• Xavier Woods landed an awesome dive over the top onto multiple opponents.
• Good to see Kofi wrestling again, too. WWE got back a lot of people at once.

Backstage Crappenings

• I may be alone, but I love annoying Sami Zayn.
• Zack Ryder is back! He says he has unfinished business with Mojo Rawley as a team.
• Fashion Files time. Tyler Breeze was attacked!
• Lana cuts a bad pre written promo. Another dove cries.

 

Naomi defeated Tamina

• Lana hits the ring to a big pop. 
• "We want Rusev" chants.
• This is pretty good, especially for what I expected.
• Tamina does the hip attack in the corner really well.
• Maybe the best Tamina match I've seen. The one against Beth Phoenix wasn't bad. 
• Lana hits her hammerlock spinebuster finish on Naomi. I liked the move, too.
• JBL catches himself say "championship belt" and is upset.

 

Jinder Mahal promo

• Mahal's delivery is a little different and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
• The Singh Brothers clapping is pretty funny. 
• Randy Orton drills Mahal with a perfect RKO. 
• That may be the first time Orton has gotten to Mahal and ended up on top.
• Great reaction for Orton after.
• The promo from Randy Orton backstage was concise.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya

• These two had an awesome match years ago before Charlotte got really good.
• Becky Lynch watches sideways.
• Charlotte hits a moonsault, Natalya a sit-down powerbomb. 
• This was pretty good stuff. Good showing from the women tonight.

 

Sami Zayn, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, Kevin Owens

• Pretty standard early on.
• Zayn hits his dive on just Owens. He'd been so good about making it make sense lately, too. 
• This is your typical main event six-man tag match. No stakes and bad commentary is a terrible mix.
• I love Sami Zayn having Baron Corbin's number though.
• Corbin attacks with a ladder, but production MISSES IT. 
• Nakamura climbs to the top and grabs the briefcase. The crowd goes nuts.
