They have great chemistry and know how to space out their high spots so they have the biggest impact.Ĭount-out finishes are rarely the right call, but this one worked to keep this feud going without making either competitor look weak. Other than the drip stick shenanigans, the match between Ricochet and Morrison was as good as you would expect it to be. It was clunky but at least it didn't lead to a six-man tag match, which is usually what would happen in a situation like this. The brawl started awkwardly as everyone just sat around waiting until it was their turn to get involved. Everyone gets together, throws out a few insults and gets into a fight. This was a typical segment WWE likes to run before big multi-person matches. Morrison took Ricochet out at ringside, and The Miz helped keep him out of the ring so JoMo could win by count-out. Morrison hitting a standing Spanish fly was just one of the impressive moves we saw in the second half. They remained grounded for the first few minutes, but as the pace picked up, they started using the ropes to their advantage. JoMo powerbombed Ricochet into the barricade as the show cut to a commercial. The match between Ricochet and Morrison got started after the commercial break. Styles then took a cheap shot at The Bro's ankle while Ricochet and Morrison got into a fight. Omos tipped over the ladder to send Riddle crashing to the mat on his bad leg. He said he would dedicate his win at MITB to Randy Orton.ĪJ Styles and Omos came down to complain about how the former wasn't pinned in the Triple Threat last week, which should entitle him to a spot in the MITB match. Riddle rode his scooter to the ring with his ankle wrapped up due to the injury he suffered last week. Ricochet was up next, and The Miz admonished him for taking such a big risk in his match with Morrison last week. Before he brought out his first guest, The A-Lister declared Johnny Drip Drip would win the briefcase.ĭrew McIntyre came out and told a story about being related to Davy Crockett. The Miz and John Morrison opened the show with another episode of Miz TV.
