Match 5 – Damian Priest defeated John Morrison
The match was okay. The more fun was the latter part of the match where it was revealed to be Miz was seeking his injury all the time.

The match was going really well and it was getting quite fun to watch until the match was interrupted by the former eleven times WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. She beat down both of them.
Match 8 – Randy Orton defeated AJ Styles
This was a good match and was quite fun to watch. Only if the match was a little longer. Orton converted the phenomenal forearm into the RKO and pinned AJ. After the match, Riddle and Orton hugged each other and Orton nailed him with the RKO. Orton stood tall as the show went off air.
Overall, it was an average week. This was nothing much different from the Thunderdome era episodes. Matches were short and not good enough either. Matches are the most important part of any professional wrestling show. We give it 2 stars out 5 this week.
