Loser: Andrade
This was a great match, as you would expect between these two, but there was never any doubt that Andrade was going to wind up losing the match. If the task was to simply warm up the WWE Champion, why not have Drew McIntyre face Austin Theory or Angel Garza instead, while Andrade begins to prepare himself for a new challenger?
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
This is the reason why so many titles in WWE feel worthless.
Alas, Andrade once again found himself in a position where he can compete with the names at the top of the card but never beat them.
Losers: Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross took a loss to the The IIconics last night. It seems like we have one of these kinds of matches every week, especially in the tag team division, where the champions get pinned in non-title matches to set up the most pointless, heatless programs possible. Such appeared to be the case last night.
Expect to see some kind of program where Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss get their win back in the most predictable fashion. One wonders why WWE doesn't temporarily bring in a duo from NXT, like Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez, to shake things up in the women's tag team division?
