#2 Kickoff show: SAnitY def. The New Day (tables match)

The New Day was unable to produce a shock

Match: The New Day survived an early scare when Alexander Wolfe and Eric Young looked perilously close to putting Big E through a table. Despite impressive New Day moments, including a top-rope double-stomp by Kofi Kingston on Wolfe and Young, it was SAnitY who got the win after Wolfe bit Kofi on the ring apron and Young sent him crashing through a ringside table with an elbow drop.

Verdict: Okay, so our pre-PPV prediction of this being a potential show-stealer was wildly inaccurate, but this was still a fun match for the kickoff show. It looked at times as if either team could get the win, which is exactly what fans want from PPV matches. As far as SAnitY goes, this was a much-needed victory after some early main-roster defeats.

Grade: C+
