Cruiserweight Champion Neville vs Austin Aries
Grade – A+
Reason – These two put on a five star classic while almost no one was watching as it began a little after 5:25 EST. While the match was fantastic, the WWE made a huge mistake by not having this on the main card to open the PPV part of the show.
However, the grade is for the excellent match that saw Neville retain the belt and not the strange booking decision of WWE and their purple ropes.
Andre The Giant Battle Royal
Grade – C
This match has lost a lot of it’s luster over the last two years by inserting non wrestlers like Shaq and Rob Gronkowski into the mix. My only hope is that this win actually does something for Mojo Rawley where it failed to advance the previous winners. The WWE needs to start putting an award on the line other than a trophy for this, or get rid of it as it is no longer working. They keep trying to make Braun Strowman some sort of monster, then ruining it by not allowing him to get any signature victories.
IC Title Champion Dean Ambrose vs Baron Corbin
Grade – C
Why is Dean Ambrose, one of the most popular wrestlers on Smackdown, on the preshow? Odd booking all the way here. This would have also been the perfect chance to advance Baron Corbin with a signature win and they didn’t do it. I suspect a move to RAW for one of these guys in the upcoming draft.
