Damian Priest Was Like, "I'll Have An Open Challenge, Please?"
And then, it turned out to be a "wrestlers stated their case as to why they should be a contender" cliche starring Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and the team of RKBro.
To which Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville were like, "how about Damian Priest defending his belt against Drew McIntyre and Sheamus while RKBRO faces the team of MVP and Bobby Lashley".
Cliche aside, the opening scene did a great job of showing a huge importance to the United States Championship which is something that I've been wanting for quite some time.
Rhea Ripley vs Shayna Baszler.
Remember when both of these competitors main evented an episode of NXT? Good times.
Ripley wins with an inside cradle which led to Nia Jax attacking the winner of the match.
Me saying "attacking" when describing the post-match beatdown isn't doing the scene justice.
Side note, Shayna isn't allowed to just win a match with ease.
The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Veer.
The Viking Raiders won with the Viking Experience. Cool.
Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus For The United States Championship.
Aka the exact opposite of Viking Raiders vs Jinder and Veer.
This match ruled like Doctor Doom Latveria. Priest retained the title with the reckoning to Drew McIntyre.
R Truth and Akira Tozawa have failed in capturing the 24/7 championship from Reggie. The funniest part about all of this is when Reggie jumped through the fence, Truth was like, "why are you jumping over gates bruh? It got a handle on it."
I still think that the belt should be retired though.
Doudrop vs Eva Marie.
The match hasn't started because Doudrop attacked Marie during her entrance.
More of this? No, please.
Karrion Kross vs Humberto Carrillo.
Kross may look like a $1 tier Spartacus but he's at least winning matches, right?
Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax.
The "Vinnie Ross shoot, shoot cowboy" esque feel, lacked a sense of direction which is what makes the entire encounter an uncomfortable mess to witness as a fan.
Jax defeated Flair with a powerbomb of some sort.
Johnny lost to Omos in a match (in other words, Flo Rida's song "whistle" was about blowjobs) while his partner in crime, AJ Styles also picked up the victory against Xavier Woods.
Bobby Lashley And MVP vs RKBRO.
The shenanigans from AJ Styles And Omos on the outside, did not stop Riddle from pinning MVP to win this tag team exhibition.
Riddle ate a spear from Bobby Lashley however, Lashley took an RKO from outta nowhere (never gets old seeing bold Pedro Pas…. I mean, Randy Orton executing an RKO from out of nowhere).
Overall, I thought the match was good besides Styles and Omos' role in the match.
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: The opening segment, Damian Priest vs Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton And Riddle vs Bobby Lashley and MVP.
Didn't like: Whatever the hell happened in the Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax bout.
