WWE Extreme Rules 04.05.2014 East Rutherford, NJ
1. WWE IC Title Falls Count Anywhere: Jack Swagger (c) (w/ Dutch Mantell) def. Sin Cara (w/ Rosa Mendes), Alberto Del Rio and Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi) (13 mins) Swagger has a tough title defence right away, as he's here with 3 contenders and odds are against him. Cara gets a chance after beating Mysterio, him and Kingston come up with a few creative spots. Del Rio seems ready to win, but Swagger submits Cara to ankle lock before Kingston taps out to the cross armbreaker
2. Singapore Cane Match: Rob Van Dam def. Dolph Ziggler (w/ Eva Marie) (12 mins) RVD returns and he targets Ziggler right away, going back to their 2013 feud and saying he's disappointed, he thought Ziggler progressed but he's the same cocky guy and learned nothing from him. They go at it again and RVD manages to win thanks to his experience, with a cane shot on Ziggler's head and a frog splash
3. WWE Tag Team Titles Tornado Match: The Rhodes Brothers (c) def. The Usos (w/ Tamina) (11 mins) The Usos want revenge after their 'Mania loss, they haven't been champions for a full year and are confident that the stipulation finally plays in their favour. Goldust and Cody keep their miracle run going and Goldust pins Jey with a DDT to retain. Postmatch, the Usos refuse a handshake and leave the ring in an angry way
4. Flag Match: Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) def. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) (15 mins) On the Raw post 'Mania, Cena cuts a promo on the new generation to put over Bryan, but Claudio stops him and attacks Cena saying he is the one that shines the most. Usual veteran vs. blue chipper story and it's time to elevate Claudio, slowly but steadily. It's a flag match as Claudio is the heel, but also a way so he can win without pinning Cena. Claudio slams Cena with the ricola and grabs the flag to win
5. House Of Fun Match: Bray Wyatt (w/ Paige) def. Dean Ambrose (13 mins) The Wyatts vs. Shield feud brings us to this match, also because Ambrose was the only Shield guy involved in single matches and this is Wyatt's first 1 on 1 match ever. Many of Wyatt's matches haven't been any good, but him and Ambrose always had a decent chemistry in 2014. HHH interferes and Wyatt uses his facebuster to win
6. Double Chain Match: Randy Orton & Batista (w/ Stephanie McMahon) def. Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns (14 mins) After Orton and Batista's many arguments, Stephanie tries to recruit the Shield, but Orton and Batista are mad about it and have an idea, so HHH actually convinces Stephanie to give them a chance. The Shield, anyway, refuse the offers and this completes their face turn after the feud with the Wyatts. It's a very open match, but Batista kicks Reigns low with the chain and Orton hits him with the RKO to win
7. WWE World Title I Quit Match: Daniel Bryan (c) (w/ Brie Bella) def. Triple H (w/ Stephanie McMahon) (22 mins) I could write a book about how the WWE was forced to pull the trigger here, but the 'Mania match and the last 3/4 weeks of the feud leading to it were really good. It was organically the hero vs. authority that they pushed down everyone's throat the following year with Reigns, this was the "hopeless" babyface because now, after everyone else failed, HHH puts his wrestling boots back on to stop him. The same HHH that just ran Punk out of the WWE, with Stephanie there to direct traffic. Bryan is injured and struggles a lot, but retains when HHH quits due to the cattle mutilation

WWE Raw 05.05.2014 WWE World Title: John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Daniel Bryan (c) (w/ Brie Bella)
On Raw, Bryan wrestles for the last time before taking time off and so he drops the belt to Cena here. They have a long match and Cena wins with the FU, avenging his 'Mania loss. Cena and Bryan shake hands after the match, dropping their feud once and for all, just as Nikki and Brie finally reconciliate as well with a hug
WWE Payback 01.06.2014 Rosemont, IL
1. Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi) def. Xavier Woods (11 mins) Woods and Kingston still have a tense relationship, but Woods finally reveals that he looks up to Kofi as a very successful role model, the only reason we wants to beat him is to make a name for himself, nothing personal. Woods gets close, but Kingston rolls him up to get the pinfall. Kingston and Woods hug after the match
2. Rusev (w/ Lana) def. Zack Ryder (5 mins) Rusev debuts on the Raw after WrestleMania as a Russian savage, while Lana plays a good role here as his cold but hot messenger. Ryder steps up to defend America against them and does his best, but of course he gets defeated in a real quick squash. Rusev uses the accolade and Ryder taps out
3. WWE IC Title: Jack Swagger (c) def. Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) (12 mins) Del Rio is on his way out and reveals that his isa is expiring and that he apparently money can't buy him a new one, so he wants to take the IC Title before he goes. Swagger is still in his patriotic mood, fighting for the fans and struggling bit time, but managing to retain with an inside cradle after reversing the cross armbreaker
4. Steel Cage Match: Dolph Ziggler (w/ Eva Marie) def. Rob Van Dam (13 mins) Ziggler and RVD finally have a blowoff and Van Dam, after a lot of talking, finally tells Ziggler to either put up or shut up, so they can have a cage match and he can finally prove if he's the showoff or not. Ziggler refused to get a cheap win by escaping and stays in the cage to hit the zigzag and pin RVD, winning the feud
5. WWE Tag Titles: The Rhodes Brothers (c) def. Los Matadores (9 mins) Primo and Epico are back and have embraced the gimmick of Los Matadores, without changing names but simply announcing that they will conquer the WWE with their new style, made of cheating and lots of make believe. Cody and Goldust show some miscommunication, but Goldust still hits a DDT on Primo to retain
6. WWE World Title: John Cena (c) (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) (18 mins) Claudio gets a title shot due to his victory at Extreme Rules and outpowers Cena, but Cena warns him that this time he needs to pin him instead of grabbing a flag and it won't be easy. It's not easy for Cena either, as Claudio takes him to the limit and dominates most of the match, but then misses a splash and Cena grabs him with huge strength to hit the FU and retain
7. The Shield def. Evolution (20 mins) The Shield want revenge on Evolution for the last few months, while HHH is finally happy as Batista and Orton now get along a bit better, and they want to beat the Shield in a six men tag, something that no one has accomplished yet. Stephanie decides not to be at ringside and doesn't seem thrilled about this match. They had a good one and there was decent buzz around it, so I'll keep it. Reigns gets revenge on Batista and spears him to win the match for his team

Rollins turns on Ambrose hitting him with a chair, saying he's tired of his leadership, and joins the Authority. Rollins actually points out that he likes Reigns, his partner, and wants him to switch sides too but Reigns refuses. Stephanie starts managing Rollins calling him the future, revealing that he's the reason she wanted to recruit the Shield months ago
WWE Money in the Bank 29.06.2014 Boston, MA
1. Money In The Bank: Seth Rollins (w/ Stephanie McMahon) def. Sin Cara (w/ Rosa Mendes), Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi), Dean Ambrose, Xavier Woods and Bray Wyatt (w/ Paige) (22 mins) So, Rollins and Ambrose are the favourites and now mortal enemies. Kingston and Woods are friends now instead, but still determined to get singles gold too. Cara joins to be the spot guy, while Wyatt is always a threat to everyone. As predicted, it's Ambrose vs. Rollins at the end and Rollins pretends to fall from the ladder. Ambrose rescues him, but it's a trap and Rollins pushes him down to win the match
2. Rusev (w/ Lana) def. Tyson Kidd (w/ Natalya) (8 mins) After a series of squash matches, now Rusev is still undefeated and keeps winning in a very convincing way. Kidd steps up as a valuable midcarder that can give everyone a good match and preaches how USA are good because he got accepted by them as a Canadian etc. Rusev wins with the accolade
3. WWE US Title No Disqualification Match: Jack Swagger (c) def. Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) (13 mins)
Del Rio gets a rematch as he wants to get the IC Title before he's forced to leave the country, but Swagger is playing the patriotic part quite well and of course won't let it happen. Del Rio has been a fairly big player in my WWE galaxy and loses the feud on his way out, here tapping to the ankle lock so Del Rio retains the title
4. WWE Tag Titles: The Rhodes Brothers (c) def. Rowan & Harper (w/ Paige) and The Usos (w/ Tamina) (12 mins) The Rhodes Bros want to continue their miracle run, while the Usos are more heelish now and can't afford losing again. Rowan and Harper are getting their first shot and it's a bit of fresh air for the division. They don't go for long and the match is quite chaotic, Cody retains when he hits the cross rhodes on Jey
5. WWE World Title Ladder Match: John Cena (c) (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Dolph Ziggler (w/ Eva Marie), Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla), Randy Orton, Rob Van Dam and Roman Reigns (25 mins) Cena has the difficult task of defending in his hometown. Apart from his mortal enemy Orton, his rival Castagnoli is in the match too. Ziggler and RVD join this and then Reigns has his first shot. I don't think this could be one of the best ladder matches, so I'd book it a bit differently by taking out wrestlers one by one with a big spot, until it's just Cena and Ziggler. Ziggler almost upsets Cena to fulfil his dream, but Cena FUs him from the top of the ladder and grabs the title to retain

WWE Battleground 20.07.2014 Tampa, FL
1. Kofi Kingston (w/ Xavier Woods and Naomi) def. Sin Cara (13 mins) Can't call it a dream match as it's not that calibre of an attraction, but it can still be quite interesting. Cara has still some heat after winning the feud with Rey Mysterio and is now leaving, so he can drop the fall here for Kofi, after they exchanged crazy dives the earlier month in the MITB match. Kofi wins with the trouble in paradise
2. WWE Tag Titles: Rowan & Harper (w/ Paige) def. The Rhodes Brothers (c) (10 mins) Rowan and Harper were not bad at all and now their focus is on the Tag Titles, while their leader Wyatt has disappeared after MITB. Goldust and Cody have been champions for a lot of time, but play the underdogs here as the challengers are so huge. Harper hits the discus lariat on Goldust and pins him for the title change
3. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) def. Rob Van Dam (11 mins) Their beef started during MITB as well, when RVD stopped Claudio with a vandaminator. Castagnoli, who went close to beating Cena for the title, is convinced that RVD costed him the belt and now wants revenge. Again, RVD tries to use the chair but Claudio slaps it in his face with an uppercut and then hits the ricola to win
4. Chris Jericho def. Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) (15 mins) Del Rio's lifestyle has changed due to his visa and he tries to suck up to the American fans to stay, but Jericho returns as a babyface and cuts one of his 2000-1 promos to mock Del Rio. Stephanie is annoyed by Jericho as usual and says Del Rio will stay around, only if he beats Jericho, but Y2J wins with the walls of jericho
5. WWE IC Title: Jack Swagger (c) def. Big E (w/ R-Truth) (11 mins) Big E wins a battle royal, eliminating Kingston as the last opponent, and is happy about getting a shot. R-Truth keeps getting in his ear about USA not supporting him because of his roots, something that Swagger takes very seriously. It's an open match and E shows a lot of his potential, but Swagger retains with a roll up
6. Street Fight: Seth Rollins & Randy Orton (w/ Authority) def. Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose (14 mins) Ambrose can't wait to get his hands on Rollins, even though Rollins keeps saying that he still loves Reigns and creates confusion in his former ally. Orton and Rollins, as usual, don't get along as Orton is tired of the Authority choosing other people. The brawl is very intense, Rollins hesitates before finishing Reigns and so Orton RKOs Reigns and pushes Rollins away to get the pinfall
7. WWE World Title: John Cena (c) (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Dolph Ziggler (w/ Eva Marie) (20 mins) Ziggler finally gets a title shot to main event a PPV and cuts promos on how he had to fight for it, while Cena was always helped by others. Cena replies that anyone can be great for a night, Ziggler wasted too many chances and that is because winning is not his priority, his looks and women are. They go toe to toe for 20 minutes, they had great matches (and a very stupid feud) in 2012/3, Cena retains with the FU

WWE Summer Slam 17.08.2014 Los Angeles, LA
1. Chris Jericho def. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) (13 mins) Jericho gets interviewed and says that, in his opinion, Castagnoli could be the future of WWE but he's lacking "it". Claudio takes exception and attacks Jericho to start the feud, Jericho comments that actually his attitude about it is good, but only if he can back it up in the ring. Claudio dominates, but Jericho is an old fox and uses a roll up to win
2. Dolph Ziggler def. Fandango (1 min) Ziggler turns babyface after being congratulated by Cena and then when he refuses to apologize to the Authority for losing his match at Battleground. Basically here the Authority try to humiliate Ziggler by giving him a match below his abilities, but Ziggler doesn't waste time and beats Fandango in a few seconds with the zigzag
3. WWE World Tag Titles Bullrope Match: Rowan & Harper (c) (w/ Paige) def. The Rhodes Brothers (11 mins) Cody and Goldust want the titles back and recreate their miracle run, but Rowan and Harper are absolutely dominant as a team and don't seem intimidated at all by the rematch. The bullrope match should help the challengers, but their chemistry is now not 100% and the heels take advantage of it. Rowan pins Goldust to retain
4. Dean Ambrose def. Seth Rollins (w/ Stephanie McMahon) (12 mins) Ambrose and Rollins finally have a singles match after Rollins' turn, even though the Authority tried to keep this match from happening. Rollins is now cocky and sneaky, but Ambrose wants revenge and Rollins seems intimidated by his former friend. Stephanie insists on Rollins hitting the curb stomp, so Rollins wastes a bit of time and Ambrose beats him with the dirty deeds
5. Xavier Woods def. Big E and Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi) (10 mins) Kofi and Woods are decent friends now, but they have both having issues with Big E for months, so they now have a triple threat and we all know what this will lead to soon. It's a fun and chaotic match hopefully, a good chance for Kofi to lose without dropping the fall, Woods hits the limit break on E and pins him for the upset
6. WWE US Title: Rusev (w/ Lana) def. Jack Swagger (c) (w/ Dutch Mantell) (11 mins) Rusev has been a force since his debut and it's still undefeated, so him and Lana call out Swagger to get a title shot, triggering the champion as he's a patriotic guy, while Rusev has been really critical of USA since his debut. They have a short but hard hitting match, Lana gets involved and Rusev hits the bulplex for the title change
7. Roman Reigns def. Randy Orton (14 mins) Reigns has been a thorn in the Authority's side, even though Rollins is trying to take him to his team to isolate Ambrose. Orton criticizes Reigns by saying that he was good in the Shield, but he has so many flaws in singles competition and he's not used to the big match atmosphere yet. Orton waits too much before the RKO and Reigns pins him for the upset
8. WWE World Title Three Stages Of Hell: Brock Lesnar (w/ Paul Heyman) def. John Cena (c) (w/ Nikki Bella) (18 mins) This goes full circle: Lesnar first beat Cena on his return match in 2012 and is the number one contender after breaking the streak, so the Authority wants him to stop Cena here and get some revenge. They had another good main event here, Lesnar goes 1-0 up with the F5 and Cena struggles, then finally finding a comeback only to be hit by another F5 and Lesnar gets the shocking 2-0 to win the title

WWE Night of Champions 21.09.2014 Nashville, TN
1. Seth Rollins (w/ Stephanie McMahon) def. Dolph Ziggler (17 mins) Rollins and Ziggler have a natural rivalry, as they are considered two of the best blue chippers around, but Rollins has lost a bit of momentum while Ziggler, despite not being an Authority darling, is doing well. They get enough time to tell a story here, Stephanie gets in Ziggler's way and Rollins finishes him with the curb stomp for the win
2. #1 Contenders Match: Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel def. Los Matadores (8 mins) Slater and Gabriel have been a team since 2010, reliable for lowcard feuds but nothing else. They want to step up and get a chance, especially Gabriel, who seems to be the best of the duo. They have a short match and a title shot is on the line, Los Matadores are usually favourites but Gabriel pins Epico after a 450 splash
3. Big E (w/ R-Truth) def. Xavier Woods (w/ Kofi Kingston and Naomi) (10 mins) Kingston and Woods are now a permanent duo and want E to join them, but Truth keeps pulling the strings when it comes to E, telling him what to do and hinting that going with Kingston wouldn't bring him any benefits. Woods has a good match, but E is physically too much for him and wins the match with the big ending
4. John Cena & The Rhodes Brothers (w/ Nikki Bella) def. The Wyatt Family (w/ Paige) (15 mins) The feud between Wyatts and Rhodes Brothers sees the addition of Cena when Wyatt attacks Cena for no reason on Raw, then explaining that he's jealous of Cena's fortune and fame, while people cringe when he's in front of them. It's an intense match, Cena and Wyatt never touch and Cena pins Harper with the FU to win, while Wyatt just stares at him
5. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) def. Chris Jericho (13 mins) Castagnoli gets a rematch after his loss from Summer Slam, but Jericho goes ahead and makes fun of Claudio being bald, his accent, literally anything he can think of. Jericho is great at this, plus getting on Castagnoli's nerves gives him the rage he needs to fight a strong match and, even though he's a heel, go over clean with a ricola bomb
6. WWE IC Title: Rusev (c) (w/ Lana) def. Jack Swagger (w/ Dutch Mantell) by DQ (12 mins) Swagger wants to get the title back, not just because of the belt itself, but also to keep it off the evil Russian. Swagger this time is more prepared, while Rusev is still undefeated. Swagger hits the swagger bomb and seems ready to pin Rusev, but the ref DQs him due to something he did before. I don't really use Dusty finishes, but this one keeps the feud going
7. WWE World Title: Brock Lesnar (c) (w/ Paul Heyman) def. Randy Orton, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns (15 mins) Lesnar is not with the Authority despite being a heel, he has a difficult title defense and, once again, Orton is forced to ally with someone he doesn't like because Ambrose and Reigns are on the same page and work together well, even though Rollins interferes to ruin the party. The match gets chaotic and Lesnar retains with an F5 on Ambrose

WWE Hell In A Cell 26.10.2014 Dallas, TX
1. WWE IC Title Hell In A Cell Match: Rusev (c) (w/ Lana) def. Jack Swagger (w/ Dutch Mantell) (12 mins) Blowoff between Rusev and Swagger, hopefully the feud would be hot enough to turn into a good HIAC match. Rusev uses his size to dominate the match, but he tries to stay away from the lethal ankle lock. Rusev manages to get the Russian flag in the cell and chokes Swagger, before hitting him with the accolade to retain
2. Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi) def. Big E (w/ R-Truth) and Xavier Woods (11 mins) These three men keep their issues going and it's finally time for a triple threat. Kofi and Woods of course work together against E, who seems really dominant. At the end, Kingston pins E after the trouble in paradise. Truth is mad at E, who finally attacks him and shakes Kofi and Woods' hand, starting an alliance and turning face
3. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) def. Dolph Ziggler (15 mins) The Authority seems to like Castagnoli, even though he's not with them, and want him to stop that annoying Ziggler, who's always vocal and now has the fans on his side. This starts a feud and rivalry on who's the next real star and it could be a big deal due to their abilities. Here Claudio gets a dirty roll up and manages to go over
4. Hell In A Cell Match: Roman Reigns def. Randy Orton (13 mins) The Authority book this match to punish Orton and to destroy Reigns, but again Orton is not happy and is vocal about Brock Lesnar being the champion but not on Raw every week. Orton is left by himself here and they pretty much destroy each other. Orton tries to punt Reigns, but ends up kicking the steel steps instead and Reigns finishes him with the spear
5. WWE Tag Titles: Rowan & Harper (c) (w/ Paige) def. Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel (9 mins) As said in the previous post, Gabriel and Slater have a good momentum and try to get the titles in a miracle run, but to do that they have to defeat one of the most dominant teams in the previous years. The match is not long as the champions strike furiously the challengers and Harper pins Slater after a stiff lariat
6. Bray Wyatt (w/ Paige) def. John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) by DQ (10 mins) The feud continues and they finally have their first singles match. Wyatt is getting under Cena's skin with his mind games and Cena seems not able to address without losing control. Wyatt uses this to his advantage to control the match, but finally Cena comes back and uses a chair to destroy Wyatt, getting disqualified in the process
7. Hell In A Cell Match: Seth Rollins (w/ Authority) def. Dean Ambrose (15 mins) With the WWE Title not being defended, this feud becomes the main act of Raw. Stephanie wants Rollins to get revenge on Ambrose due to his loss at Summer Slam, but it's not easy at all. Reigns stops HHH from interfering, but Rollins takes the sledgehammer that HHH left on the floor and hits Ambrose in the head to win the match

WWE Survivor Series 23.11.2014 St. Louis, MO
1. The Rhodes Brothers, Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel (w/ Natalya) def. Rowan & Harper & Los Matadores (w/ El Torito and Paige) (18 mins) The Rhodes Bros want the titles back and team up with the new team of Kidd and Gabriel, as Kidd pretty much replaced Slater. Rowan and Harper are still dominant and joined by Los Matadores, now managed by El Torito. Rowan gets disqualified and this makes the heels more vulnerable, Kidd wins with a roll up on Harper 2. Jack Swagger, Big Show, Kane & Heath Slater (w/ Dutch Mantell) def. Rusev, Sheamus, Wade Barrett & Santino Marella (w/ Lana) (15 mins) This is pretty much team USA vs. a bunch of foreigners, Rusev and Swagger are obviously the captains due to their feud and they take most of the stage. Show and Kane team up as usual, eliminating the poor Santino easily, but also confronting Rusev. The IC Title struggles against Swagger, Kane and Show and Show pins him with the chokeslam to win
3. The New Day & R-Truth (w/ Naomi) def. The Usos & Primetime Players (w/ Tamina and Alicia Fox) (13 mins) Truth manages to get his way and to team up with the newly formed New Day despite his issues with them, while the Usos are going over thanks to their new savage attitude. Truth causes some miscommunication to the babyface team, but at the end Kingston and E survive after Kingston hits Jimmy with the trouble in paradise
4. Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Joe Hennig & John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Seth Rollins, Claudio Castagnoli, Sin Cara & Bray Wyatt (w/ Stephanie McMahon, Paige and Layla) (35 mins) Cena and Ambrose are co-captains to lead the team against the Authority, joined by Ziggler and Hennig, who refuses to disrespect his dad's memory. Rollins and Wyatt are the co-captains of the heel team, Sin Cara and Claudio are hired guns for the occasion, especially due to the Claudio/Ziggler feud. Sting's debut was quite random, but I liked the way they left space to the youngsters: let's be honest, it's a one match PPV because the roster is embarrassing. Cena and Wyatt cost each other the match with a double DQ, Ziggler and Rollins are the last two standing and Ziggler goes over with the zigzag

WWE TLC 14.12.2014 Cleveland, OH
1. WWE Tag Titles Ladder Match: Rowan & Harper (c) (w/ Paige) def. Los Matadores (w/ El Torito), Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel (w/ Natalya) and Xavier Woods & Big E (w/ Naomi) (15 mins) Tag titles are on the line, it won't be the best ladder match ever but we got an interesting mix of big men, good workers and some athletes capable of coming up with some high spots. New Day gets a lot of offense on their first shot ever, Kidd and Gabriel get close to the upset, but Harper grabs the belts first to retain
2. Jack Swagger (w/ Dutch Mantell) def. Kofi Kingston (w/ Naomi) (10 mins) Swagger and Kingston have feuded in the past, now they are both babyfaces and without a hot grudge. Swagger needs a good win to stay relevant around the IC Title picture after losing the feud with Rusev, while Kingston is now more involved in the New Day matches. Swagger wins with the swagger bomb
3. WWE IC Title Chair Match: Rusev (c) (w/ Lana) def. Kane (7 mins) Rusev is dominant and still undefeated in singles matches, this match gets booked after the Russian has defeated Big Show, remembering that Kane managed to pin the IC champion at Survivor Series. It's a test to see if Rusev strong enough and he proves that he is, using the chair to smash Kane and then hitting the accolade
4. The Usos (w/ Tamina) def. The Rhodes Brothers (11 mins) They wrestled a lot of times, mainly at 'Mania 30, but now things are different as the Usos are heels and the Rhodes Bros seemed to have lost the magic touch due to their recent losing streak. Nobody can afford a loss, basically, which adds drama to the match. Jimmy pins Goldust after a big splash and so Cody turns on his brother
5. #1 Contender Tables Match: John Cena (w/ Nikki Bella) def. Bray Wyatt (w/ Paige) (12 mins) Cena and Wyatt continue their feud and a title shot on the line makes both of them want to win the match even more, even though Wyatt wants a shot mainly to prevent Cena from getting one, which doesn't sit well with Cena. Wyatt proves to be reckless with his attacks, almost like he doesn't care about getting hurt as long as he hurts Cena. Cena manages to hit the FU on two tables to win the match
6. Dolph Ziggler def. Claudio Castagnoli (w/ Layla) (15 mins) Claudio's latest win got Ziggler even more determined to come back and get some revenge, but Claudio refuses to give him a rematch until Ziggler manages to cost him a title shot. Ziggler fights like he's got nothing to lose, which surprises Castagnoli. Claudio tries a ricola bomb, but Ziggler gets an inside cradle for the win
7. TLC Match Money In The Bank Shot vs. Hair: Seth Rollins (w/ Stephanie McMahon) def. Dean Ambrose (18 mins) Ambrose vs. Rollins is another feud that continues at this PPV and Ambrose manages to provoke Rollins into putting his MITB show on the line, if Ambrose puts his hair at stake. I think they would have had an incredible main event, due to the 6 months build, plus Ambrose looks better and meaner with his head shaved so Rollins grabs the briefcase to win
