8 Match Star Ratings From WWE: The Horror Show At Extreme Rules

5. Apollo Crews Vs. MVP - United States Championship Match

Rather than communicate to the paying customer ahead of time that the scheduled match could not take place as a result of an "injury" sustained by Apollo Crews, who if he is injured has been injured for a while now, long enough to not do this, MVP "defeated" him to win the United States Championship by forfeit.

Or maybe it was a heel gambit not recognised by WWE, which happened twice on the same show. Maybe. We don't know. There are no General Managers, which is good, but WWE still lays out these f*cking shows like there are General Managers, which is a shambles, and the stars or the people playing the roles of stars sort of just do what they want.

So f*ck knows how they'll explain it.

Star Rating: N/A
