It must be said that this match just proves that Cesaro is DOPE. Honestly, it is for the best, New Day has been stale for a while and the weird heel-face dynamic of She-saro will make for some interesting storylines in the future. This is literally the first title defense for the New Day since they broke Demoition’s longevity record, and wouldn’t you know it – they lost. The first match on the actual show is the New Day Vs. If this weren’t on the pre-show I’d make a comment about how people who paid to see this got robbed, but I digress. Also the match meant so much that they’re literally doing it again tomorrow night. Enzo looks dumb for getting tricked by Lana again, Rusev looks weak for getting like no offense in the match, Cass looks dumb for getting drawn out into the crowd only to get counted out. The match ends in a crummy countout angle to keep the feud going, but everyone comes out of this looking worse. Of course it isn’t actually on the PPV, it’s on the pre-show, but even so I don’t think Cass is going to be talking up this performance. The announcers make note that this is Cass’ first singles match on PPV. Seriously, it’s a 5-minute promo followed by like 10 seconds of action and then a commercial. This meandering promo goes on for far too long, meaning that the first move of the actual match (a simple punch from Cass) leads to that awkward commercial rest moment you see in every Raw match that goes more than one segment. Enzo claims Lana has a lot of nerve tricking him into a hotel room trap a few weeks back, despite the fact that he was there trying to nail a married woman. The proceedings start with a bad Christmas promo from Enzo and Cass. I throw match in quotes because it never really gets out of the blocks before Cass takes the countout loss. The 5 time (5 time, 5 time, etc.) WCW champion doesn’t really seem to listen to the questions he’s asked, instead just spewing nonsense tangentially related to the event. He just can’t carry across a cogent thought while maintaining kayfabe and appears overwhelmed, though it could easily be Booker T’s influence. For Roadblock it’s Sam Roberts, and while I think his podcasts are great, it should be noted how bad he was on the pre-show. Since last month, the show has also been welcoming on prominent wrestling bloggers and podcasters to be kayfabe members of the panel. The show features a panel of “experts” hosted by Charlie Caruso, who is sort of a palette swapped Renee Young – and I mean that in a good way. If you’re one of those people that skips the pre-show, frankly you’re not missing much.
