10 Impulse Reactions Following WWE Great Balls Of Fire
2. 'Bonus Match'
For all the drama and confusion around the aftermath of the Ambulance Match, credit to WWE for finding a neat way to present the norm as if to emphasis the chaos.
A far cry from the abandonment of the live crowd during the taped portion of Payback's 'House of Horrors' earlier this year, the decision to send Curt Hawkins and Heath Slater out there for nothing match provided a paradoxically interesting and yet completely ignorable distraction whilst the usual gang of idiots tried in vain to potentially save Braun Strowman's life.
It is perhaps telling that WWE now knows of the damage done to lower card stars in the modern era that they can present a wrestling match almost designed to get people to look another way, but it was at least a crude utilisation of what they have.
Completing the experimental display, Heath was victorious off camera whilst all the real action took place in the parking lot. In another time, a divisive character such as Vince Russo may have been pilloried for such a stunt, but the arrangement was handled with unusual aplomb, and kept the show moving amongst the chaos.
