7. Seth Rollins' Absence Drastically Changes The Card
Other than the odd minor change here and there, the cards for these European Tour house shows tend to be identical. However, no Seth Rollins really shook things up, though not necessarily for the better. In Dublin, The Miz's match with Cesaro ended with a heel Curtis Axel coming out and the two of them issuing a challenge which was answered by The Big Show. In Cardiff, R-Truth responded to that and beat The Miz in a matter of seconds to send fans home happy. This meant that a face Axel ended up squaring off with Bo Dallas in perhaps the most forgettable bout of the evening (I honestly can't remember how it ended). This just goes to show how the WWE is forced to improvise when things go wrong, and while I'm not entirely sure that the different card in Cardiff was better than what the Irish got, it had one unexpected advantage...
