Seth Rollins vs. Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter)
When we return from commercial, we see Rollins still looking proud of what he just did. Highlights are shown of Rollins’ Curb Stomp to Ziggler before the break.
Out comes Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter. The fans are loudly behind “The Real American” in Atlanta tonight. The bell rings and here we go with one-on-one action.
Rollins gets in some good offense early on, but eventually, Swagger’s size and strength is too much for “Mr. Money In The Bank.” Out on the floor is Swagger, where Rollins hits a big dive, splashing onto him as we see Randy Orton make his way to the top of the ramp.
“The Viper” slowly makes his way down the ramp as the action continues. The announcers remind us that Orton is doing what Rollins just did during his match, as we head to a mid-match commercial.
When we return from commercial, we see the action is continuing back in the ring as Orton watches from ringside now, as he has made his way down the ramp.
In the ring, as the fans in Atlanta chant “we the people,” Swagger goes to work on Rollins. He goes for the Patriot Lock, however Rollins rolls out of it. Moments later, Rollins rolls Swagger up for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Seth Rollins
After The Match
After the match, Orton gets in the ring and nails Swagger with his finisher, the RKO, the same way Rollins hit his finisher, the Curb Stomp, on Orton’s opponent (Ziggler) earlier tonight. The two go face-to-face before Rollins exits the ring and heads up the ramp. We head to commercial on that note.
Backstage: Renee Young With Dean Ambrose
Backstage, Renee Young is with Dean Ambrose. Ambrose, the crazy man, talks about his issues with John Cena and their issues with Seth Rollins. Ambrose closes by saying they’re all on the “highway to hell,” in AC/DC fashion.
Backstage: Tom Phillips With Big Show
From there, we go to Tom Phillips who is with Big Show. He asks about his issues with Rusev and how he’s in a position to stand up for all of America tonight. Big Show talks about knocking Rusev unconscious. Big Show says he proved Rusev is not unbeatable. He says he’s going to knock him out tonight.
Rusev (with Lana) vs. Big Show
After the backstage segments, Rusev’s theme hits and out he comes with his Russian flag, and his smoking hot valet, Lana. As they make their way to the ring, we head to a commercial break.
When we return from commercial, we see Rusev and Lana in the ring. Lana talks about the same junk she always talks about, only this time with a little twist on it. She talks about Indians and casinos. She ties it into Columbus Day and then takes a cheap dig at the Atlanta Braves to get some cheap heat. It works.
As has been the case for the past week or so, Rusev takes the mic from Lana, babbles in another language as the fans do the tomahawk thing that Braves fans do, along with the chant. He then references Big Show and says his actions will have consequences. The fans in A-T-L chant “U.S.A.,” which stops Rusev dead in his tracks. He hands the mic back to Lana for a quick “Shut-Tup” (again, not a typo). Rusev takes the mic back and says if Big Show has a spine, he’s going to rip it off with his hands.
With that said, finally, (thank god, finally), Big Show’s music hits. The big man storms his way down to the ring and appears to be in a bad mood. The bell rings and Big Show immediately forces Rusev to eat a big boot. Big Show manhandles Rusev outside the ring for a bit and then throws him back into the ring, where he continues to deliver punishment. Big Show continues to dominate Rusev, as the action goes back to the floor. It’s a one-sided match thus far.
In the corner of the ring, Big Show pleases the fans in Atlanta with an Atlanta Braves style “tomahawk” gesture before hitting his “shhh–chop!” spot. The fans popped big for that. Moments later, however, Rusev hits a crazy dropkick to finally get his first bit of offense in this match. He gets in some more offense and knocks Big Show out to the floor as we head to a mid-match commercial.
We’re back from the break and we see Rusev still in firm control of the offense. Within a minute, however, Big Show fires up. Rusev cuts him off and applies “The Accolade.” We see Mark Henry run to rnigside. Eventually, Henry attacks Rusev and Big Show’s is disqualified.
Winner via DQ: Rusev
