Last week we liked a Karrion Kross match, this week we like an Austin Theory match? What the hell is going on here? Honestly, we’re not even really sure. We just kind of dug this Theory vs. Cameron Grimes match. It played into the opening segment with the battle royal competitors, which saw Theory to come out to taunt his opponent next week, Santos Escobar, and used the logical next sentence of that page — Escobar coming out to try and attack Theory at the beginning of Theory’s match — to set up the match itself, as Grimes hit his out-of-nowhere finisher, the Cave-In, as his first offensive move of the contest after Theory had been distracted. Then, in a moment captured by surprisingly deft camerawork, Grimes folds Theory up for the pin and accidentally puts Theory’s foot on the bottom rope, a picture-perfect tribute to the most famous spot from the “WWE Raw” world title match between Seth Rollins and Adrian Neville, which took place almost exactly eight years ago.

Grimes continues his assault after that, getting in almost all the remaining offense in the match, but Theory survives, takes an opportunity to knock Grimes off the top rope, hits his finisher, wins, leaves. It was perfect. He didn’t cheat, he won opportunistically, and he didn’t so much win as escape. He made Grimes look amazing, but Theory himself doesn’t come off looking bad because he got hit with a finishing move at the start of the match. It’s a fun miniature story told inside this one match, and they did an excellent job, and they both come out looking better. This is how wrestling is supposed to work.
