The tag match was great! I really like K-Swiss as a tag team and New Day have turned from being 3 guys forced into a terrible gimmick, to embracing it in a pretty interesting way. Big E spearing Cesaro through the ropes was awesome, and while he was down Kidd had a pretty good minute where he was fighting off both E and Kofi. Also when Cesaro realizes he can't tiger bomb Big E and bails in like the safest way possible was great! He could have tried to save the move, but instead saves Big E's life by not killing him.
I don't know if this is intentional but it seems like Dean Ambrose has had some pretty good character development in the past couple of months. Before Wrestlemania he was getting DQ'd for punching BNB in the corner too much, and stealing his title. But in his match against Rollins a couple weeks ago, to see if he would be in the main event at Payback, he stops punching Rollins when the ref gets to 4, puts his hands up, and then shakes the refs hand, like he knows he needs to check himself because of what's at stake. Then at the end of Smackdown last week, when Reigns is offering a handshake, he fakes Reigns out, picks up the title, looks at it and puts it on Reigns. He spent a month and a half playing hot potato with the IC title, but now it's like he's grown up a bit and wants to win the right way...
This could (and probably will) be completely irrelevant in a few weeks, but little things like that make me enjoy the stories way more.
