Reviews/Thoughts:
I just read that Evan Bourne is in hot water with management over revealing details about him and R-Truth with respect to the Wellness Policy violations. Bourne was suspended right away, while Truth was suspended a bit later (likely due to the major storyline the latter was in). HHH is reportedly not a big fan of Evan, while Stephanie McMahon is a big supporter. I'm guessing Kofi Kingston (not wanting to make him an indirect victim of circumstance) is the only reason why Air Boom hasn't lost the tag titles yet.

Real good match between Bourne and Epico. I wouldn't have guessed Bourne's in the doghouse.

No Tamina accompanying JTG this week. Basic match here, JTG didn't have a shot.

Hey, Tyson and Yoshi are going at it again! Nice agile moves here. A fairly straightforward match with cooler spots.

Jinder's turban and non-English promos are sparking "U.S.A." chants. I guess whatever gets a reaction, right? I liked Zeke better with a shaved head. A rare win for Jinder here. Did the announcers say Punjabi Plunge? I'm sure they meant a Punjabi Clutch, right? In any event, I wasn't really a fan of this one. Too slow and basic.
