WWE Superstars Results: Big E Gets A Win, Sin Cara In Action, Curtis Axel Loses Again
This week's show opens with the customary flurry of introductory flair and then we head down to ringside.
Sin Cara vs. Curtis Axel
Phillips and Saxton talk Survivor Series during the entrances and then it's bell time. The competitors circle each other and then Axel gets on top of things with some grappling. He puts Sin Cara in the corner and works him over but the luchador roars back, putting Axel on the mat and then out of the ring with some aerial moves. Back in the ring, Sin Cara hits some impressive shots but Axel eventually comes back, scoring a power move or three. Axel gets a near fall for his trouble, does a little more work on the mat and then struts around like Mark Gastineau before doling out some more punishment on his opponent. Sin Cara battles back, going into full lucha mode and eventually putting Axel away with a few power moves and a senton off the top, followed by a three-count.
Result: Sin Cara defeats Curtis Axel
Recaps roll from this week's Raw, chronicling Ryback's run-in with The Authority and other scintillating developments.
Big E. vs. Heath Slater
Slater enjoys a relatively warm welcome from the live crowd. He soaks it in before getting down to business with Big E. Slater realizes pretty quickly that he won't be able to out-wrestle his opponent, as Big E keeps him in check on the mat. Slater puts a little distance between them with a dropkick off the ropes but Big E gets all over him again in the corner. Heath comes back with some punches and puts Langston down with an elbow off the ropes followed by a near-fall. Big E looks to mount a comeback but Slater surprisingly remains on top of things until Big E lands a belly-to-belly and puts his opponent out on to the floor.
After a short beak, we find that Big E has gained an advantage and he puts Slater in a stretch and then places a knee on Heath's throat, grabbing the ropes for leverage. Big E stays in control for a spell but Slater battles back, much to the appreciation of the live crowd. Slater comes off the top looking for a big move but Big E catches him and plants him with "The Big Ending" and the pinfall.
Result: Big E defeats Heath Slater via pinfall.
The show closes with a recap of Raw's main event from earlier this week.
