Grade: C+
Wait… Nakamura has a brand new theme, and it doesn’t suck? Who produced that? Then the combination is lazy as all get out, however it’s not horrible. Andrade and Nakamura have had many matches through the years, so for a return match, it is sensible to have Nakamura in there with somebody acquainted. This was a very good TV match, however contemplating a few of their earlier contest, they didn’t precisely go away all of it in the course of the ring tonight.
Nakamura’s new gimmick is simply his previous gimmick with face paint, however hey, if it results in him being on our TVs and hopefully beating LA Knight at Survivor Collection. Additionally, LA Knight operating into the mist like a Looney Tunes character is the funniest factor this author has seen all week.

Hayes and Rhodes have GREAT chemistry. It says lots that Hayes retains getting put within the place of being within the ring with one of the best on the primary roster. The draw back is he not often wins; massive ups to Randy Orton for being the one vet to truly put Hayes over. Pretty much as good as this match was, it seems like there was a little bit of a missed alternative right here to not have Rhodes’ anger price him this none-title match. Anyway, Hayes, as soon as once more, sells the Crossroads like his hire is due and it’s already the fifth.
