Reviews/Thoughts:
Drew and Zeke, in a battle of midcarders to start. Average showing. No torture rack for Zeke, Future Shock gets three for Drew. Zeke may be on the future endeavors chopping block soon.

Divas match next. Alicia the fiery redhead gets a little face pop coming out. Nice slaps. Actually some decent offense. Matrix move and some more agility from Fox. Wait, a divas match that actually got time! Must be an alternate universe. Natalya sharpshooter FTW.

Kidd and Hunico? Gonna like this one, just know it. Camacho predictably interferes to allow Hunico to get the upper hand. Kidd comes back with a ton of kicks. Crowd amped up for the comeback. Lots of high-flying stuff. Kidd took Camacho out. Senton from Hunico countered. Sharpshooter by Tyson, but Hunico gets the ropes. Hunico catches Tyson off the springboard attempt into a Samoan Drop for three. Very good match.

RAW recap of Brock "quitting" (after injuring HHH), then Paul Heyman's return. Should be interesting to see this one develop.

Time for the main event. Santino with the delayed high-pitched scream on the atomic drop. Funny stuff there. Nice to see Ryder show Hawkins some respect (remember when they used to be a tag team?). Good chain wrestling between the two. Ryder with the agile stuff early on. Heels then worked on Santino. Ryder comes in and does his thing, then heels get to him. Santino hot tag. Usual signature moves, nice interception by Ryder. Cobra wins it.
