#2 Reigns vs. Joe

After a few tedious backstage promos with the returning legends, such as Kaitlyn and Alicia Fox discussing how big Fox’s hat should be, Samoa Joe came to the ring to cut a promo.

Joe talked about how these reunion shows are a plague to the WWE and only help to feed the fans' addiction to nostalgia. This was supposed to be a heel promo, but I couldn’t help but agree with every word that he said.

Roman Reigns came out to stick up for his family after Joe criticised The Usos and Rikishi’s segment from earlier in the night. This led to a match between the two Samoans.

The match itself was noticeably slow, possibly due to a legitimate injury to Roman’s left shoulder which seemingly occurred when the two were brawling.

It’s a shame if that’s the case but regardless, this was a tiresome match that Roman won after hitting a spear on Joe.

Grade: C-


#3 Miz TV with Seth Rollins

The Miz was out for an edition of Miz TV next and introduced his guest, Seth Rollins.

Unfortunately, this was another bad showing for Rollins. He began by trying some comedy, which really isn’t his forte, before going on to claim that Brock Lesnar is a Seth Rollins wannabe. His basis for this was because Lesnar cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth just like he did at WrestleMania 31…ok, Seth.

Rollins went on to say that he will defeat Lesnar at SummerSlam, before hyping a match against AJ Styles for later in the night.

Grade: C
