Rusev Day looked great (and so did New Day), but some miscommunication late in the match cost English and Rusev. I really hope this doesn&#8217;t lead to a second round of teasing a breakup for Rusev Day. Hopefully it just leads to them being even better next time they get title shot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Panel<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nBooker T rejoins the panel and is impressed by what he just saw.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMike Rome welcomes Mick Foley.
