3. The Main Event Comes Through

Right, it's slightly sh*tty that WWE booked The Usos into a corner on Friday night, but the main event match was still scorching in spots. Drew McIntyre's dive looked fab, and the bickering between he and Sheamus was logical. Having The Street Profits out there also gives Jimmy and Jey an out. Kinda.

The booking that got us here is questionable, but the actual match itself is one you should defo take a gander at if you love great tag wrestling. All four men paid attention to the key plot points (Drew and Sheamus don't get along, The Usos are rudderless without Roman Reigns there etc), and the match was better for it.

Also, again, that dive.

A man McIntyre's size soaring through the air is a sight to behold. Think The Undertaker's WrestleMania leaps and you'd be on the right lines. Of course, that wasn't all the bout had to offer. You can't have workers this talented without results.
