Sean Ross SappDown Live (5/9): Match Ratings, Podcast Notes, More!

Opening segment

• Orton says he didn't lose because of a fridge, he lost because of Jinder.
• Jinder Mahal says these people will no longer disrespect his homeland. I guess Canada vs. the world is back.
• Call me biased, but I think a cameo from Muhammad Hassan and Davairi would do wonders, but Hassan is suing WWE. 
• Owens, Styles, Corbin all come out and say standard stuff.
• Zayn attacks Baron Corbin and the babyfaces clean house.

Natalya (w/ Welcoming Committee) defeated Becky Lynch (w/ Naomi & Charlotte)
4/10

• Carmella heels the crowd.
• 22 minutes in, we've seen 14 characters and zero wrestling moves.
• Every night I see people bump before getting hit on clotheslines and dropkicks and it looks bad. 
• The springboard mule kick looks better than the old kick that Becky used to do. 
• Charlotte helping Becky distracts her and causes a loss. Cool.

Backstage crappenings

• Charlotte's attitude hasn't changed that much since being "babyface." I like that. This was good promo work  from Becky, Naomi and Charlotte until after Becky asked them to bond. Then it went all to straight up cornball shit.
• Lana is allegedly coming soon.
• The Fashion Files features an Ascension cameo. It's good. It's really good. 
• WHO LET MOJO BABYSIT?

Erick Rowan defeated Luke Harper
4.25/10

• I wish these two would just beat the brakes off of each other, go through tables, and have a war, then hug. 
• Lots of slams mean sustained "ooooOOooooH" from Tom Phillips.
• Rowan wins with a reverse powerslam. Harper will win next week and they'll have a rubber match at Backlash.

Dolph Ziggler

• Dolph Ziggler cuts a pretty good promo about being a crotchety old man. 
• Nakamura wants Ziggler now, but Ziggler backs out.

Fashion Police defeated Ascension
SQUASH

• I'm happy Breezango are getting a little chance, and the booking -- much like Mahal -- is thus far consistent.
• The Usos come out and cut the best promo of their lives. They got "twelve days" over in ONE PROMO. 

Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens & Baron Corbin (w/ Singh Brothers) defeated Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Sami Zayn

​​​​​​​5.5/10

• This one doesn't really pick up until after the last commercial break.
• Styles and Corbin will have some really good matches down the line. 
• It slows back down with a rear chinlock, but comes unglued again and Jinder Mahal pins Orton.
• Again, pretty consistent Mahal booking so far.
