WWE Superstars Report
December 18, 2014
Taped 12/15 in Detroit, Mich.
Report by Justin James, PWTorch contributor

The Superstars title sequence has been freshened up a bit.

1 - EMMA vs. SUMMER RAE

Summer Rae is angry at Emma's dancing, so Emma mocks Summer Rae's mannerisms then attacks her. Back and forth for a bit. Dil-emma in the ropes then the Emma-mite sandwich. Emma-lock gets the tap out win.

WINNER: Emma in 4:12. I've seen these two plenty of times already and it's usually a decent match.

2 - LOS MATADORES (FERNANDO & DIEGO w/El Torito) vs. CESARO & TYSON KIDD

Cesaro starts it against Diego. El Torito tries to huracanrana Cesaro (despite not actually being in the match) right in front of the ref, but Cesaro catches him and tosses him onto Diego, who tosses him back at Cesaro, who takes a leg scissors takedown. The allowed involvement of El Torito annoys me so much. Kidd is in and does not do much better. Fernando telegraphs a back body drop, Cesaro blind tags, but Cesaro creams him with an uppercut when Fenando tries a suicide dive.

[ Break ]

Cesaro is controlling Fernando who breaks free with a jawbreaker. Cesaro Swing and Kidd tags in and dropkicks Fernando out of the swing. Diego calmly enters the ring to break up a pin. The match just kind of breaks down for a bit. Guillotine leg drop from Kidd followed by a double stomp from Cesaro.

Hot tag and Diego takes it to Cesaro. The action breaks down again. Fernando gets dumped and Cesaro and Kidd double-team Diego. Cesaro holds Diego up for a powerbomb, Kidd hits a top rope blockbuster as Cesaro drops the bomb for the win.

WINNERS: Tyson Kidd and Cesaro in 6:40. Good potential, spoiled by the WWE tag match formula and tropes. It's a shame because Kidd and Cesaro should be able to put on some great matches.
