Not everything can be earth-shattering, but let’s give credit to WWE for booking the Viking Raders and Andrade to both win their matches Monday night.

The Raiders defeated a team portraying “Rizzo and Bryant,” better known as the Chicago Cubs. You see, they were in St. Louis, where the Cubs’ rival, the Cardinals, play. Ho-ho! Wrestlers dressing up as the rival sports team so they’ll get booed. That’s hilarious.

Later, Andrade defeated Sin Cara in a rematch from last week, despite the masked luchador bringing Catalina to ringside to even the odds when Zelina Vega tried to interfere. Catalina succeeded in stopping Vega, but the move caused a distraction, which led to Andrade rolling up Sin Cara for the win.

Neither match was a standout bout, but the right act won both bouts, and they managed to not fall into a negative category, so we’ll take it.
