2. Rotten Tomatoes

One guess who was amused backstage at Jason Jordan throwing vegetables from a shopping cart at Elias while he tried to perform.

Quick kudos for the interruptions leading to an actual match, or else this would have been a bigger negative. But it still felt really silly for Elias to get multiple attempts to perform, only to be chased off by a smiling Jordan. Fans rallied behind the interruption the second time, but they also were growing impatient with the Drifter’s performance.

It was another example of WWE not knowing what to do with Jason Jordan. Instead of actually booking him in a feud and a match, they had him goof around with produce to get a PPV bout.

And even then, Elias clearly got his shoulders up, so the feud must continue!
