After some posing from Lashley in the beginning, this match was fought mostly seriously. Bayley and Mickie had a nice sequence in the ring, then things broke down. Lashley and Balor fought all over the place, and Lio Rush inserted himself as a distraction for both Balor and Bayley. I was disappointed with the outcome, but I enjoyed the match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton asks Country Dominance about facing Monster Eclipse next week.

I was hoping Jimmy Uso would let loose in the rap battle, but the dance break was fun. After that, there wasn&#8217;t much match left.
