Charlotte vs. Paige started out pretty physical although my expectation that Charlotte was going to go all insane and lose it at the bell was wrong. Charlotte tried to control Paige but was kicked and tossed to the floor, where she was smashed into the apon. Back in the ring, Paige tried to wear her down but Charlotte broke free. Charlott began to really take her frustrations out on Paige, using an Electirc Chair onto the apron, the Figure 8 and wrapping her in head scissors before turning around and drilling the challenger's face into the apron over and over. Paige made a comeback, tossing the champ to the outside. Paige went to the barricade to pose and mock Charlotte but was speared off by the champion. I like it. Charlotte locked her in the Figure 8 and Paige, despite trying to reach the ropes, was trapped and had to tap. For this storyline, that was the way this should have gone. The match was pretty damn physical for a Divas match and pretty damn enjoyable. It wasn't smooth at times but I liked it.
Tyler Breeze vs. Dolph Ziggler was next. The big question, for me, going in here is whether WWE will get some momentum behind Tyler Breeze after he's lost some matches so quickly since debuting on TV. Ziggler looks like Vince Neil from 1983 with that outfit. They had a good, but short match with some nice near falls. Some really, really good chemistry in the ring. Ziggler took a hell of a nice bump after being snapped into the ropes and there was a nice back and forth series of near falls that I loved. Ziggler got caught with the Unprettier after failing with some superkicks. Breeze gets a win and some momentum. It could have been longer but they did fine in the short time they were alloted.
Really nice entrance for Undertaker's 25th anniversary with all the fire, lightning, burning symbols, etc. you could imagine. Atlanta was chanting for him before the bell and it was obvious he was the big draw here. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper are the opponents. That was the best scenario on paper.
Undertaker and Kane vs. The Wyatts wasn't designed to a back and forth competitive match as much as a spectacle and celebration for Undertaker and that's what it was. Lots of greatest hits moments including the double chokeslam on Rowan, Strowman being put through a table (which the place went NUTS for), Kane and Undertaker doing the double "sitting up" spot and Harper taking, of course, the tombstone. It was perfect. You have to respect everything Undertaker has accomplished. here was an awesome standing ovation for him after. Pretty cool stuff.
