8. Damien Sandow Can Work A Program With Anyone
One of the biggest surprises of the show was the appearance of Damien Sandow, appearing as one half of a babyface tag team alongside similarly seldom-seen midcarder Fandango. The pair faced off against the job-tasted pairing of Adam Rose and Heath Slater, in a predictably silly encounter. Importantly, though, Sandow proved again that he can convincingly work a program with just about anybody. He certainly has passable in-ring skills, and seems capable of playing various personas. He has already helped boost the careers of both Cody Rhodes and The Miz, who could have found themselves in free-fall were they not paired with Damien. Here he showed just as much hip-swivelling flamboyance as Fandango himself, leading to a highly entertaining bout with a lot of laughs. The faces won, of course.
