Darren Young found himself facing-off against his fellow former Prime Time Player Titus O’Neil little over a week after failing to capture The Miz’s Intercontinental Championship at Battleground. Young had his moments, but Titus picked-up the victory with a cradle and a handful of tights, apparently signalling a heel turn for the 2015 Celebrity Dad of the Year.
The feud makes sense on-paper. O’Neil and Young had teamed together on-and-off for the best part of four years: nobody on the roster has better chemistry with one than the other, and with both struggling for direction, it’s an easy feud to put together. That being said, the loss does significant damage to Young’s already-low momentum, particularly after the double count-out finish at Battleground, and WWE now have a big repair job on their hands if they’re still serious about “making Darren Young great again”.
The backstage segment did little for Young either. With Titus and Bob Backlund verbally laying into each other, Young attacked his former tag partner from behind and left him lying. He was sticking-up for his life coach, sure, but how are fans supposed to become invested in a babyface who’ll resort to heel like tactics at the drop of a hat?
