I know that on paper, the main event match did not seem like much. It was just three members of Team Hogan taking on two members of Team Flair and Cesaro. There was no storyline and there would be no consequences.
But the way the match was set up was great. The spots were put together in such a manner that Shorty G and Cesaro got a chance to shine and get over in front of what was a hot crowd. The fact that Roman Reigns allowed Ali to pick up the big win was also a great way to get the man over.
I can't say that I'm thrilled about the 5-on-5 match at Crown Jewel, but if this was a preview of things to come, I am quite interested. I do hope that Shorty G gets a chance to showcase his wares, even after Crown Jewel.
