Dain had some segments where he dominated the match and hurt Riddle, but Riddle kept fighting as hard as he could the entire time.

KUSHIDA and Breezango make a super fun team. They started strong, but Imperium managed to isolate and utterly dominate Tyler Breeze for a very long time in the middle of the match. Fandango got a tag, and the match started to break down.

The live aspect definitely makes the shows feel more important and exciting. I also like the balance of big matches and upcoming talent development so far. The two hours seem to work well. I assume the show will feel a little different when they go to two full hours on USA. For now with the show split between USA and the WWE Network, the bigger main event has been placed in the middle of the show. I kind of like that feeling though, so hopefully they&#8217;ll still keep a big match at the end of each hour.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was a tough decision between this match and Lee versus Dijakovic.
