Reviews/Thoughts:
They are at NC State University for this one!

Hawkins and Reks come out to ZERO reaction. Ouch. OK match here against Barreta/Tatsu, nothing real thrilling for me.

Percy back with his talk show and the love triangle. Oh good grief. This was an abomination to me.

Jey Uso going solo tonight...no Siva Tau entrance. Pretty standard match, but I really liked that superkick at the end.

Watching the video package of RAW, I was excited for Kane's return then, and I still am. I don't care that the hair is fake. I just love that the mask is back, complete with the remixed "original" Kane theme.

Curtis and Percy went at it, but again, it just didn't have that oomph I look for. Such a shame.

Main event was really a face-off between Titus and Darren Young. Could this save this abysmal episode (heck, this series has gone down the tube since season 1)? Actually, it sorta saved a bit of the show. I really like Titus' new "mean streak," courtesy of Young pushing the right buttons. It's showing me that Titus can probably pull off the big bad heel if need be (and trust me, he'll want to, because I don't like that barking stuff). The more aggressive side of Titus O'Neil is something I'm interested in, and I hope WWE really runs with this one.
