The Hardyz steal the show.

Forget the controversy surrounding the ridiculous moniker of WWE's latest PPV event, tough though that might be, and Great Balls of Fire was actually a fairly decent showing, low expectations and all.

Sure, Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe didn't exactly serve up a barn-burner of a main event and it was the mid-card that once again stole the show, but after all the jokes and all the declarations that this was destined to just be a time-waster until next month's SummerSlam, it was a surprisingly solid showing more often than not.

Yes, the lack of title changes makes it easy to snidely state that nothing of significance happened, but within that framework, this wasn't bad at all...

9. Heath Slater Vs. Curt Hawkins

Result: Heath Slater scores the win...somehow, because the producers cut backstage to the rescue attempt on Braun Strowman trapped inside the ambulance, showing how little anybody remotely cared about this one (2:26).

Rating: It was hard to concentrate on this match too much when its random inclusion clearly signaled that the main event wouldn't be going long, and it's even harder to rate it when the finish wasn't shown on air.

Plus, it lasted just two minutes, much of which was spent in rest holds, so how was it possible to get invested in what was going on? 2/10
