7.5/10BRIAN’S VERDICT
My overall score: 7.5/10. Only two matches puts pressure on both to deliver a meaningful result. Punk and Oba win, so the show does move its leading stories forward. I would still prefer a wider competitive card to balance the five talking segments.
The card
CM Punk vs Bronson Reed vs Matt Hardy — CM Punk won.
Oba Femi vs Drew McIntyre — Oba Femi won.
Around the show
Oba confronts Seth, the Usos arrive on RAW and Jacob announces Nia, Lita and Stephanie for Elimination Chamber. Punk is told to earn his next title opportunity.
Overall show rating: 7.5/10.
