CM Punk
6.5/10BRIAN’S VERDICT

My overall score: 6.5/10. Punk beating Drew is the strongest competitive payoff. Danhausen and The Usos add variety, but the title match ends with no winner. I like the direction toward Atlanta; I want the weekly show to feel less dependent on the next confrontation.

The card

CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre — CM Punk won.

Danhausen vs Pat McAfee — Danhausen won.

The Usos vs Alpha Academy — The Usos won.

Seth Rollins vs Royce Keys — Disqualification · no winner.

Around the show

Nia stands tall over Becky, Danhausen curses Pat and Oba stands tall over Seth. The Hardys turn on The Usos after their victory, adding a new edge to the tag title match.

Final verdict: Punk beating Drew is the strongest competitive payoff. Danhausen and The Usos add variety, but the title match ends with no winner. I like the direction toward Atlanta; I want the weekly show to feel less dependent on the next confrontation.
