The Good: Team DX's p*ss-funny disassemblement of Team Rated-RKO did nothing for the heels but made the babyfaces look like the coolest guys in the room. Though it ultimately worked against him, CM Punk was the coolest of all, too. He'd last one more month before Vince McMahon put a bullet through his push.

The Bad: Batista and Booker T's World Heavyweight Championship match belongs as far away from the WWE Network as possible in case some poor unfortunate soul actually has to sit and watch it. A minor catastrophe is only avoided because of the clock, and even at 14 minutes it was about 12 too long.

The Ugly: The elimination tag pitting Flair and his old mates against The Spirit Squad was another mindless burial of the five newcomers. DX had already buried them deep enough - this was spitting on their grave. Lita's farewell lacked the class of Trish Stratus' just months earlier. Booking Cryme Tyme to come out and sell "her possessions" (lingerie and a sex toy, LOL!) bordered on abhorrent.
