Intercontinental Champion The Miz Hosted Miz TV with Roman ReignsAs always, Miz was super strong with his mic work and I will never not laugh whenever he takes shots at Jordan by bringing up his unborn child. I enjoyed the dynamic he had with Reigns here, and speaking of Reigns, this was one of his better promos in recent memory. I'm glad they got the Shield vs. Miztourage talk out of the way because that is definitely not the match I want The Shield to return for right now. Not only did this set up Reigns vs. Miz for later on in the night, it also tied nicely into the subsequent tag team match with Matt Hardy, Jason Jordan and The Miztourage. Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan def. The MiztourageJeff Hardy is out injured for the foreseeable future and no timetable was given for his return, which was a bummer. Here's hoping Creative finds something meaningful for Matt to do in the meantime. As for this match, it was a pretty formulaic tag team outing. Matt and Jordan scored the win as they should have, but it didn't seem like Jordan gained any more supporters than he had before. Fans simply don't care about him at the moment, so a heel turn might need to happen sooner rather than later.

Elias def. Apollo Crews (Kickoff Match)Elias has gradually been building momentum on Raw since debuting earlier this year, but he has yet to settle into a real feud. That said, I think he and Crews could benefit from working with each other since it would give them direction and we could get good matches out of it such as the one we saw here. It wasn't anything overly exciting and no different than any other Kickoff match you've probably seen, but it served its purpose in giving Elias a nice win. Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Jason JordanThere is no doubt that Jordan can hang with the best of them in the ring, and there's also no doubt that he isn't over with the audience as a babyface. Crowds didn't care about him before, whereas now he's being booed. Then again, Miz calls Los Angeles his home away from home, so I can't say I was shocked, but he's basically the second coming of Rocky Maivia at this point. I realize The Miztourage cost him the championship here and the feud might not be over, but Jordan's awful post-match promo should be an indication that it's time to turn him heel.
Street Profits def. Riddick Moss and Tino SabbatelliI know they've had only a handful of appearances on NXT TV so far, but it's crazy how over Street Profits already are. As others have said, they have filled the role Enzo Amore and Big Cass once had as a tandem with a cult following in NXT. They have a bright future ahead of them as long as they're actually booked to win the NXT Tag Team Championship eventually, unlike Enzo and Cass. As for Moss and Sabbatelli, they have improved immensely since I saw both of them last and they physically look great. This was a fun opening match while it lasted. Lars Sullivan def. Oney LorcanSullivan is an absolute beast of a human being, good lord. He's still pretty green, mind you, but that's what developmental is for after all. Lorcan was the perfect opponent for him considering he's a Massachusetts native, his offense is exciting and he sold for Sullivan like a total champ. These two contested a blast of a bout that saw Sullivan chuck Lorcan into the ring post at one point in an incredible feat of strength. It needed to be seen to be believed.
Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman is the dark hero with the personality and exterior of a bad man. When one looks deeper past the darkness of the cape crusader you can see that ultimately what he does is rooted in justice. The way Batman gets justice may not always be the goody good way. However, Batman gets his justice and is more of a vigilante hero. Then we have Superman a.k.a. known as Clark Kent. Superman is the antithesis of Batman. Superman says all the right things. He has super raw power. He wears colorful attire. Although both fight for good, Superman does things by the book. Ironically two of the most popular heroes are the founders of the Justice League.
