Summary

Somehow, putting Damian Priest in the ring with four of the most absurdly funny, gimmick-heavy personalities imaginable turned into absolute magic. This one leaned hard into entertainment early, with R-Truth doing his usual blend of comedy and out-of-nowhere offense, keeping the crowd hooked from the jump. Priest played the perfect counterbalance, bringing the heavy strikes and slowing things down just enough to keep it grounded. The Miz and Zack Gibson (Wilson) worked like a well-oiled machine, cutting the ring in half and isolating Truth for a solid stretch. But the moment everyone will remember? The chaotic arrival of Danhausen. Truth, in peak Truth fashion, tags him in for absolutely no reason, and Miz immediately loses it, insisting Danhausen has no business being in the ring. Danhausen tries to curse Miz, but Miz, ever the opportunist, yanks the referee in front of him—resulting in the ref taking the curse instead. That little twist paid off instantly: Miz drills Truth with his finisher and goes for the pin, but the referee’s arm freezes mid-count at two. Perfect chaos. That opened the door for the hot tag to Priest, who stormed in, cleaned house, and brought things back to reality with a dominant finish. Not a technical masterpiece, but ridiculously entertaining—and the crowd ate up every second of it.

Summary

This match was pure chaos in the best way possible, with R-Truth and Damian Priest somehow pulling it together against the dominant champs MFT. Priest held things down early, eating a ton of offense before finally making that hot tag to Truth, who came in rolling with the full John Cena tribute offense — yeah, even the “Five Moves of Doom.” It didn’t all go smoothly though, as MFT kept things dirty with distractions and double teams, including a nasty chokeslam spot on the outside. Just when it felt like the champs had it locked, all hell broke loose with outside interference, but Truth capitalized on the chaos, landing a Stunner and then somehow finishing things with an AA for the shocking win. And just like that — new champs! Messy? Absolutely. Fun? No doubt.

Summary

This was the most straightforward match of the night and honestly one of the more fun ones. Los Garzas tried to rely on their usual slick tag offense, cutting the ring in half and keeping R-Truth trapped for a stretch. Truth did his usual mix of comedy and surprisingly solid counters before finally tagging in Damian Priest, who came in like a wrecking ball. Priest dropped both Garzas with big strikes and a spinning kick that changed the energy of the match immediately. Angel attempted to rally with a quick attack off the ropes, but Priest shut that down fast. The finish came when Priest hoisted Angel up and delivered South of Heaven, driving him into the mat for the pin. It was a clean, decisive win and the kind of tag match that doesn’t try to reinvent anything — just solid action and a strong finish.

Summary

Isn't it awesome when you are at a live event and WWE creates a new match type that your website can't handle? Yeah, it was pretty sweet. Putting that aside, this gauntlet-style tag team "Turmoil" was an extravaganza of high-flying hijinks and veteran power--of course, with a little MFT interference thrown in for good measure. Los Garza scored two of the four pins, which felt much needed for the two that have been mostly missing in action as of late. The Wyatt Sicks had the momentum until Tama and Tonga distracted them. While those two teams brawled their way to the back, the newly-formed-out-of-nowhere team of R-Truth (who went full Ron Cena tonight) and Damian Priest strutted down to the ring and came away with the shock victory. Now they are the No. 1 Contenders and will face to MFTs for the tag belts sooner rather than later. Which, to be honest, is not something any of us saw coming.
