Loser: Kairi Sane

Shayna Baszler's old rival Kairi Sane was coincidentally in action last night against Natalya, but she didn't look to be at her best. Chalk it up to typical heel booking, but Kairi Sane looked weak here, needing Asuka's help to only win via countout.

Long have there been complaints among fans that WWE books almost all of its heels to be hapless chickens. This match was a great example. Kairi Sane is certainly the kind of performer that deserves a better performance.


Winner: Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins delivering his first sermon as the Monday Night Messiah was a good new direction for his character to take, after weeks of a lot of screen time, but uncertainty as to where the story would be going next.

We got another big fight in last night's main event, where Rollins' group lost by disqualification. It was underwhelming, but the sermon was something more interesting.

Let's hope that the red brand's team can come up with a new wrinkle in this story that leads somewhere by WrestleMania time. This was a good start.
