REVIEW
This was a pretty good episode of Main Event. The Usos and Harper and Rowan put on a great match that built anticipation towards Bray Wyatt's match against Cena at Payback. I continue to be disappointed with the way Damien Sandow is used as a buffoon comedy act. He is a talented wrestler and deserves more than these embarrassing alter egos. Brie Bella had a surprisingly good match against Natalya. She looked like an actual wrestler tonight, which is a step up from her usual performances. Payback should be a half decent pay per view, if for nothing else than the last man standing match between Cena and Wyatt.
