Finn Balor vs Harper. Usos come out during the match to do commentary to scout tag competition in Harper. Balor tries for the 1916 on Harper, but he's kinda too big, goes for the reverse DDT instead. Pins, 1, 2... foot on the ropes, ref doesn't see it and counts the 3. Usos are like 'hell naw' and shout wildly at the ref to look at the rope. Ref looks, Balor argues with the ref, yells at the Usos, Harper hits a massive clothesline when he turns around. 1. 2. 3. Harper wins to qualify for the KotR. (59)

Styles is being escorted from the arena by medical staff. He's arguing, saying he can fight and he was hardly hurt. Christopher Daniels says he MUST be careful, and he's going to have to give AJ's spot to someone else... after... that savage beatings at the hands of... Bill Dingh and Prince... Ikea... He stifles a laugh. He wrings his hands and shrugs disingenuously as AJ is escorted from the arena (63) Viktor appears as Styles is leaving the frame, says Carrie deserves that shot in the KotR. Daniels says he doesn't really want to encourage intergender matches, Viktor asks if he's some sorta chauvinist pig or somethin bro. Daniels denies this, and lets her in. Kairi shows up a bit later... talks to Daniels in Japanese about a match. Daniels says something back, Baron Corbin is clearly audible. Kairi is like "NANI?!" (52)

Baron Corbin vs Kairi Sane. Baron Corbin tells Kairi to lay down to make this easy. Kairi fakes it, nails him with a backhand, goes for the flash pinfall. Corbin barely kicks out, but is on the defensive for the opening flurry. Corbin eventually gets his bearings back and hits the End of Days after a thumb to the eye, squeaking out a win to many boos. (57)

Owens and Zayn show up, yell at Christopher Daniels for not rewarding them for staying off Raw. Maybe they'll go help Rusev break in next time. Maybe they'll disrupt all of 'the fallen angel's' plans. Daniels doesn't care if they go to Raw or what, and puts them in the match with The Club. (95) Owens & Zayn d. The Club (75)

WHO WANTS TO WALK WITH ELIAS!?! Elias does his thing for a bit. Is interrupted by BRAUGHHHHHH! Braun runs him off as he has a match next. (75)

Sheamus vs Braun Strowman. Sheamus vaguely holds his own a bit but Strowman is Strowman. At some point the ref gets knocked out. Cesaro hits the ring, Strowman fends him off. Disgruntled Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn hit the ring. Strowman fends THEM off. A debuting Andrade "Cien" Almas hits the ring in the chaos, hits a flying kick on Braun followed by La Sombra, but also attacks Cesaro, Strowman, Owens, and Zayn. Braun is staggered. The ref is recovering. Sheamus hits him with a Brogue Kick and gets the 3 count, with Strowman kicking out just after 3. (65)

The 4, sans Andrade, continue to attack Braun, while Andrade tries to help Braun (despite just attacking him!?). Braun ROARSSSSS. They scatter. They may have hell to pay for Braun next week. (76)

Lots of stupidity on this show:
I accidentally put Viktor instead of Vince Russo in that Kairi Sane segment. Decided to not fudge the writing and just roll with it. A plot development, perhaps?
Random as hell Andrade debut + turn that would get a confusing reaction at best gets good turn + gimmick rating. Okay then. I'm going to try to follow it up with something that makes sense though.
Let the era of bad gimmicks begin!

Bill Dingh's (Dawson) THE EVIL ARCHITECT gimmick rating was Very Good
Prince IKEA's (Dash) THE EVIL ARCHITECT's gimmick rating was Great
Nia Jax changed to Female Monster and was Great (she was 'badass' before)
Billie Kay's Obnoxious Gimmick was Great
Peyton Royce's Obnoxious Gimmick was Very Good
Andrade's Turn to Face was a complete success
Andrade's Generation Next Gimmick was Great
