It wasn't ground breaking, but it certainly added to the intrigue of Orton vs Drew McIntyre at SummerSlam. Raw = Shawn Michaels delivered a solid promo as he ran down Randy Orton to end the show. This was a great advertisement of Naomi's skills, whilst reminding fans that there are more than just three women in the entire division. Naomi competed in two women's matches this week, and although she lost in under four minutes to Sasha Banks, she redeemed herself by toppling Bayley.

The match was interesting and hard hitting, with Big E securing the victory with a fortuitous rollup. This was yet another opportunity for Big E to prove he could hang as a singles wrestler, and once again he passed with flying colours. SmackDown = None of the matches set the wrestling world alight this week, however Big E vs Sheamus was the best offering. Despite featuring some quality wrestling, The Hurt Business vs Apollo Crews, Mustafa Ali and Ricochet just felt unimportant. The issue with some of the matches was the lack of importance, as too many matches felt like filler.

Asuka and Baszler looked strong as a team, whilst it was satisfying to see Bayley and Banks lose so decisively.

Asuka teamed up with Shayna Baszler to take on Bayley and Sasha Banks, and despite the pointless interference from Nia Jax, it was an extremely solid and interesting match.
