No one was expecting a classic encounter, but when you have a PPV title shot, you’d think the participants would turn up the volume a little.

However, The Bar and Titus Worldwide turned in an extremely pedestrian match in which Titus O’Neil and Apollo never really looked like they were going to pull off the upset. Cesaro & Sheamus seemed to wrestle at half-speed throughout much of the contest, with the match only ramping up during a short burst from Apollo toward the end.

This was Titus Worldwide’s opportunity to make a good showing, even if they weren’t going to win, and it was about on par with most of the two teams’ matches on Raw the past month. It was a disappointing effort.
