The match gets under way and as can be expected workhorse Cody is the face in peril and Rob van Dam comes in like a house on fire to save the day, covering Titus O'Neill, after performing his signature frog splash. RVD is in high spirits, as can be expected when performing in a country where the quality of Cannabis is second to none.
Rusev vs. Zack Ryder
The spectacular Lana introduces her charge Rusev with some good mic work deriding the beauty of Dutch women in attendance, questioned the manhood of Dutch men in general and professing her loyalty to her leader Vladimir Putin to an outpour of massive heat. Jabroni Zack Ryder mercifully does not get to perform his annoying bronco buster version but is instead fed to monster heel Rusev who gives us an encore of his camel clutch submission hold made famous by the Iron Sheik.
WWE Divas Champion Paige vs. Tamina Snuka & Natalya
Next up a triple threat match for Paige's Diva title. Her challengers are Tamina Snuka and Natalya Neidhart and we are treated to a surprisingly entertaining Diva match. First significant spot is a catfight between Paige and Natalya who physically roll over the referee to a big reaction. Another big high spot is Paige's attempt at a superplex on Tamina timely intervened by Natalya who proceeds to powerbomb them both followed by a two count. Submission holds are a big part of the match as an abdominal stretch by Tamina and a Tarantula by Paige are employed. Tamina ultimately taps out to Paige's finishing hold after Paige craftily interrupts the sharpshooter by Natalya. The latter's ring generalship must not be underrated in this match. Natalya kept the match flowing and made Paige look like a million bucks. Above average Divas match especially considering this is a B roster house show.
Kane vs. The Big Show in a steel cage:
Exhilaration wafts through the arena as the next match is a steel cage match. Kane hits a very slimmed down Big Show with half a dozen chair shots before the opening bell. They then succeed in almost demolishing the cage by ramming each other into the wire mesh, duel punch near the top whilst trying to climb over until finally Big show manages to slip out the door after throwing his KTFO punch. A short but enjoyable big man match by two savvy veterans who make good use of the cage as a weapon.
Post match Kane threatens to chokeslam two officials until Brad Maddox shows up to talk Kane out of it only to fall victim to a chokeslam and tombstone to the delight of the fans in attendance. We also cheer at hangings.
Intermission
Fandango & Layla vs. Santino & Emma
Fandango is up next with his new valet Layla and they are matched up with Santino and Emma. The match is billed by Tony Chimmel as a fans choice match. Dance off or Intergender match. Let's skip the dance part as I try and fail to unsee what I was forced to endure and I shall not inflict this insult on you the unsuspecting reader. Once the grappling starts Santino and Fandango show surprisingly good chemistry with each other as both seem adept at what I like to call a Bushwacker comedy spotfest.
At one point Layla the cowardly heel runs from teeny tiny bubbly little Emma and hugs Fandango's legs for protection from Emma's wrath. Fandango holds the head of Layla in place while grinding his crotch in the face of his own valet and the entertained crowd starts chanting "We want more." Yes, that happened. This is Holland after all. Socks come out both green and Pink and the match unravels as Santino and Emma go over.
