This contest was nothing more than your typical time filler, with no back story. I guess it served it's purpose for what it was intended for. Rusev looked incredible all throughout this bout, representing the United States title capably in the win.
I would like to see Ziggler get some better luck with his booking. Maybe the brand-split will help his chances at moving back up the ladder, or maybe not. I don't think there's much interest from the powers that be to do very much with Ziggy after all.

Overall, it wasn't a terrible match at all though. There was some good back and forth action. Sheamus doesn't seem to be doing very much lately. He's also another one that could benefit from all of the changes.
