Roman vs. Luke was a very good match. I enjoyed the entire story of the match and thought that both men did a lot of really good things. You can slowly see more pieces to Reigns’ offensive skill set. He needed to get a good win and tonight was a nice combination of both mens’ power and speed. Reigns gets better and better each week and has guys to work with that are excellent. Harper is no different. Big Show adds the final punch, keeping his feud relevant with Roman Reigns. Can it come down to those 2 in the final four at Royal Rumble?
Alicia Fox defeated Naomi
Naomi has her one hand tied behind her back, which allows Fox to get a backbreaker and a two count. Alicia Fox teases her and kicks her hand out of her balancing act. She fights out of a submission move and then Fox hits 4 elbow shots to her. Naomi fights back with a kick and a clothesline. She hits a few more and then kicks Alicia to the apron. She hits a big kick to Alicia’s head. Alicia Fox hits a scissors kick for the win.
This match never picked up steam or interest from the crowd. Both of these Divas are good, but the wife of an Uso gets the shaft since they talked poorly of The Authority. Not much else to discuss here. It was very generic and boring.
