1 - TYSON KIDD vs. HUNICO (w/Camacho)

Fast-paced technical wrestling to start things off. There is some really good work in here, as expected. Hunico shifts to a brawling style and goes into a unique submission to a cover, and Kidd manages to catapult himself over Hunico from a pin, perform a sunset flip, and transition to a Sharpshooter, but Hunico gets to the ropes before it's locked on. Hunico bails out. Kidd jaws at Camacho and Hunico ambushes him from behind. Kidd with a big monkey flip, then gets kind-of a monkey flip through the ropes to put Hunico ringside. Huracanrana from over the ropes and Hunico is down again. Kidd rolls Hunico in for a two count.

Hunico suckers Kidd in and sends him into the ringpost. Cover for two. Hunico with a nasty armbar and Kidd is howling in pain. Hunico blocks a sunset flip and counters with a leg drop.

Kidd fights out of a hold with a suplex, then sends Hunico into a turnbuckle face-first. Kidd with a flurry of kicks and a low dropkick for two. Camacho looks worried on the outside. Kidd then tricks Hunico into flying through the ropes, but Hunico lands on his feet, then kicks him from the apron. Kidd sends Hunico into the ring and hits the springboard elbow drop for a nearfall. Hunico transitions into a Tornado DDT into a suplex with a bridge cover for two.

Hunico on the attack, but Kidd counters a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker attempt with a small package for a nearfall. Kidd spends a moment kicking Camacho through the ropes (Camacho tried to trip him). On his way back to the center of the ring, Hunico catches him with a brainbuster of sorts for the win.

WINNER: Hunico in 8:00. Slick, intense match. Watch the replay if you are a fan of fast-paced, well-executed action. The only drawback is that this is the second match of Hunico's that ended just like this, though.

2 - THE USOS vs. CURT HAWKINS & TYLER REKS - Tag Team Match

Reks and Jey start the match, and Jey brings Reks into the corner and gets Jimmy involved. Reks sends Jimmy into the ropes and isolates him with Hawkins. The crowd starts a "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant in the middle of Reks's offense. Jimmy and Reks both tag out, and Jey takes over on Hawkins. Jey with a beautiful flipping kick, it looks like. The action breaks down and both Usos hit Samoan Drops. Jimmy tags in and lands the Superfly Spash for the win. The crowd celebrates with another "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant.

WINNER: The Usos in 4:30. Good match, but nothing I haven't seen from this match-up a few thousand times in the last few months on NXT and Superstars.

3 - R-TRUTH vs. HEATH SLATER

Slater is unimpressed by Truth showing off, and pretends to kick Little Jimmy, so Truth takes him down, then tends to Little Jimmy. The crowd is popping for Little Jimmy. Truth clears Slater from the ring and checks on Jimmy.

[ c - WrestleMania 29 ad ]

Slater sends Truth into a barricade out of the break. Truth powers out of a hold, but Slater puts him back down with a jumping kick. Jumping neckbreaker gets Slater two. Truth makes a comeback with lots of power and a bit of finesse. Truth then scores with the What's Up for the win. The referee raises R-Truth's hand and Little Jimmy's, too.

WINNER: R-Truth in 5:15. Lots of comedy in a match that didn't have the time or motivation to amount to much.

[ c - "Bending the Rules" DVD ad ]

Raw Rebound.

End show.
