[Sabin Shelley Army]

This card was stacked and worth watching. Rollins vs Steamboat is always a good match up. Cesaro vs Leakee needed more time to get going, so it was a low point but not bad. Ambrose vs Sandow was just two guys wailing away at each other for 15 minutes. It was pretty good, but probably not for everyone. Ambrose throwing the match at the end was a good finish.
