Kassius Ohno, still enveloped in a unflattering shirt to compensate for what the WWE deems a less than perfect torso, and his partner Hideo Itami are one of those teams put together because both guys need something to do right now. Fortunately, both men are fun to watch regardless.

Their opponents comprise one half of SAnitY and they definitely looked the part. Alexander Wolfe's weird egg-shaped head accentuates his crazy person act.

It's Killian Dain who was the star here. The match put him in the Big Gun role and he looks terrifying, with everything he does feeling impactful. Hideo's kicks and fisherman suplex showed plenty of class, Wolfe played his wayward punching bag part and Dain was suitably monstrous.

The story of Ohno and Itami misfiring and possibly falling out meant Ohno didn't do very much, but everyone in this match clearly knew how to play their role.
