Show opens with Paul Heyman walking out and introducing himself and says he's out to scout a new Paul Heyman guy. He doesn't know any of them but he's blown away by what he's seen in NXT, he says it's kind that the fans chant ECW at him but he's not living in the past but he's looking at the future which is in NXT. He says backstage has the next Paul Heyman and the next Brock Lesnar, he then introduces Curtis Axel. A great promo from Heyman as always. He says Axel is beyond perfectation and Axel isn't willing to defend the IC title tonight and there's not a human being in Florida who is man enough to challenge Axel and out comes Big E Langston. Big E thanks Paul for coming and says he's man enough to beat Axel, Axel now grabs the mic and makes the match but not for tonight but for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Big E tells him to shut up and says Axel isn't man enough to hang in NXT and this gets Axel to agree, why would that bother him when he's no longer in NXT and neither is Big E?
Curtis Axel (c) w/Paul Heyman vs. Big E Langston for the WWE Intercontinental title: Big E grabs Axels neck but he hits a elbow and some strikes to escape, Big E reverses a whip a couple of floats overs leading to a high belly to belly by Big E and a clothesline to the outside. We come back from break with Big E getting a chinlock and Axel breaking out but getting hit with a shoulder block and Big E's 5 punches to the gut. Axel grabs the apron and gets a low kick followed by a clothesline to the back leading to him putting the boots in. Axel then hits a dropkick and rakes the face, Big E then blocks a snapmare but Axel hits some knees gets the snapmare, the Hennig necksnap and low dropkick for a 1. Axel then grabs a front facelock, Paul is clutching the IC title on the outside he has to be the best manager ever in my book or at least he's up there. Big E throws him off and hits 3 clotheslines and 5 kneelifts followed by the Vader attack and Paul attacks from behind to no effect and the DQ. Big E grabs him but Axel attacks and keeps attacking, he goes to hit him with the belt but Big E gets the Big Ending and counts 5. An OK match helped by the fans really getting into it. Winner by DQ: Big E Langston
Graphic shows the main event will be a 6 man with the Shield vs. Xavier Woods, Corey Graves & Adrian Neville and I'm hyped for this. An advert for Summerslam plays and it highlights how over Bryan is right now, I think I may give this show a watch I tend to miss PPV's live. Backstage with Renee Young and Sami Zayn, Sami says Bo is an afterthought and how stupid Cesaro and Coulter are for claiming he's illegal immigrant and he brings up his challenge for a 3rd match, he ups the stakes by making the match 2 out of 3 falls (I hear it's a classic match) and he ends saying he's going to exposure Cesaro as a coward.
Mason Ryan vs. Scott Dawson w/Sylvester LaForte : I groan so much when I see Ryan come out flexing and yelling, it's so boring. This match is my hell! LaForte tries cutting a promo but makes no sense. Excuse me while I do anything else during this “match” maybe check my Facebook or pour hot oil over myself would be less painful. Dawson yells and Ryan clotheslines him, another in the corner and another. Out comes Amore and Cassidy allowing Scott to hit a chopblock and starts his endless strikes but he eats a big boot, Mason yells and flex and hits a cobraclutch slam for the 3, he immediately throws the other 2 out and he barely presses Scott to the outside to them. Thankfully this was short but it still sucked, I mean the oil barely boiled before it was over. Winner: Mason Ryan
Paige (c) vs. Summer Rae for the NXT Women's title: Rae got this shot by “injuring” Emma with a move that looks like it barely hurts let alone could injure someone, maybe her but not her opponent. An in ring introduction before the match starts. Tie up to start and they trade positions against the ropes leading to Rae getting a head lock and crossbody but Paige rolls through, she then pulls down Rae by the hair and gets a shoulder block this is all very fasted paced. Paige hits a hairmare and chokes Rae with her boot and puts some boots in, Rae catches a boot and throws it back leading to Paige landing face first Rae laughed before doing it. Rae then does a weird choke in the ropes with her leg around the back of the head. Rae hits an inverted Pedigree for a 2 and then a climb up DDT into banging her head against the mat for a 2. Rae is taunting the crowd, she's a great heel I say this every time. In a nice spot Paige attempts an armdrag and Rae immediately locks on a headlock after the float over. Paige sends her into the corner after a failed pin attempt and she hits a series of back elbows. Paige returns the favour with the leg snap from earlier and a series of knees on the apron followed by a gut kick and the Paige turner for the 3. Kind of a flat finish that came from no where but still a good match. Winner and still champion: Paige
Backstage with Renee and AJ Lee, AJ says she's great and she'll be defending the title next week against anyone it could be the camera guy or her Mum. Bayley hugs her from behind and says she's been following AJ and she wants the title shot next week, AJ says sure way not. Bayley then drops the crazy word and this sets AJ off and Bayley says she hopes they can be friends after she beats her and grabs another hug. An odd segment but anything with Bayley is often odd. An advert for next weeks show highlighing Dolph Ziggler being on the show. We're then show that Emma attacked Summer Rae during the break which makes me ask why couldn't Emma wrestle that match then?
The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns) vs. Xavier Woods, Corey Graves & Adrian Neville: Graves and Seth to start with a tie up and Graves keeps escaping when Seth tries to push him into the Shield's corner, Graves rolls throw a hip toss into an arm drag and tags in Neville. Neville gets a kick and 2 low dropkicks leading to Woods getting tagged and grabbing an arm wringer. Woods then hits a tilt-a-whirl headscissors for a 2 and Graves back in grabbing the arm again and doing the Scott Hall shoulder blocks, Seth starts fighting back with kicks but misses a high knee in the corner, he gets his boot up as Graves runs in and jumps to the 2nd rope but Graves hits a Dragon Screw and goes for his submission but the other Shield members drag him out leading to Neville and Woods diving to the outside. We go to break with an advert for Punk vs. Lesnar. We come back with Reigns hitting a headbutt on Woods and throws some vicious shots in the corner letting the other 2 double team choke. Dean gets tagged and we get the wishbone spot, which always makes me think of Bulldog & Owen. Dean stamps on Woods hands and hits an elbow for a 2 then grabs a head vice. Dean hits a knee before Woods could fight back but Woods floats over a back suplex attempt leading to a rather cold tag to Graves. Graves hits some punches including Sting's backhands, why don't more people use those? Graves then hits a jumping knee to the face and a Gourdbuster letting him hit his chopblock and locks on Unlucky 13 but the Shield break it up leading to Reigns getting the tag. Reigns hits a big slam out of a suplex set up for a 2, was simple but looked impactful. Seth gets the tag and hits a knee as Graves tries to fight back, Seth then grabs an overhead wristlock. Graves fights back with forearms and gets a sunset flip but Reigns is tagged an he mounts with punches. Reigns hits a jumping stomp and tags in Dean. Short arm clothesline by Dean for a 2 and a suplex which during Graves had his hand out backwards trying to tag. Reigns gets tagged and taunts Graves leading to him fighting back, Graves knocks down the other 2 members and Reigns runs into the post letting Neville get the tag, he hits some fast forearms and a high kick, he goes for the Red Arrow but Dean gets the knees up and Seth gets tagged, he goes for a German but Neville lands on his feet tagging in Woods who hits a top rope cross body for a near fall. Woods hits a high kick and a low flatliner for another near fall, he then hits his rolling clothesline and Sole Food but Reigns breaks up the pin. Neville goes for a headscissors on Reigns leading to both flying out to the outside. Dean and Graves come in to fight and they suplex each other to the outside, Seth misses a splash in the corner and Woods goes for a Superplex but Seth fights back and goes for a sunset bomb, Reigns gets the blind tag leading to the Buckle bomb and a spear for the win. A really good match here, they shouldn't stop the Shield's push in my view they're still really great together. Winner: The Shield
Show ends backstage with Renee and Cesaro, basically he accepts the match with Sami Zayn until Zayn jumps him and it's broken up.
I'm super excited for Cesaro/Zayn whenever it happens which hopefully should be soon. Overall this was kind of a flat show inbetween a hot opening and ending, I only say that in regards to the women's match because I've seen better between the 2 and the end just came out of no where, it was still a good match. Main event was the stand out match by far but it's the Shield in a 6 man they rarely have a bad one.
