Seth Rollins def. Jason Jordan
For weeks, Jason Jordan has been the proverbial fly in the ointment for both The Shield and Samoa Joe, trying to force his way into a match with The Samoan Submission Machine despite his father Kurt Angle’s insistence that he hasn’t earned it yet and despite the fact that The Hounds of Justice have a longstanding grudge with Joe.

This week, Jordan tried to jump the line by confronting Joe’s planned opponent, Seth Rollins, and shoving him to the mat following an off-the-cuff insult by The Kingslayer. But all that did was land him a match with the former WWE Champion that did not pan out the way he’d hoped. Angle sweetened the pot by announcing the winner would face Joe sometime down the line, but even with his goal within reach, Jordan once again turned in a very strong performance in a losing effort.
Rollins suffered a bone-rattling array of suplexes throughout the lengthy contest, but the presence of Joe at ringside allowed The Architect to take out two birds with one stone by throwing Jordan into Joe, decking the Samoan with a superkick, then dispatching Jordan with the ripcord knee for the victory.

Joe, who had promised the winner would receive the honor of a beating at his hands, made good on his word by trouncing Rollins with a cheap shot and a Uranage. He gave a parting shot to Jordan as well, leading to a backstage confrontation that involved Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Jordan all jockeying for another match against Joe. Angle was forced to split the difference for the second time in the same night: Rollins and Jordan would team with Ambrose against Joe, Cesaro & Sheaumus later in the evening.

As it turns out, the one thing that’s more irksome to The Shield than having Jason Jordan as an opponent is having him as a partner. Jordan’s earlier meddling in Seth Rollins’ affairs led Kurt Angle to team his son up with Rollins and Dean Ambrose against Cesaro, Sheamus & Samoa Joe, and while that’s a stacked trio in terms of talent, The Shield they were not.

Jordan, for one, kept trying to jump the line again, demanding tags early in the match and focusing on Samoa Joe over whomever the legal man happened to be. He paid, and Rollins had to spell him accordingly, though Ambrose remained frustratingly out of his brother’s reach.
The Lunatic Fringe made his presence known during a brawl on the outside, but a suicide dive from Rollins that took out Joe and Cesaro also took a toll on Ambrose’s taped-up arm. A distracted Rollins was easy prey for a match-ending Brogue Kick, and the hits kept on coming after the match: Joe and The Bar jumped the two Shield brothers in the locker room area, and The Samoan Submission Machine rammed a production crate full-speed into Ambrose’s injured arm. The attack sent Ambrose to a local medical facility for X-rays and evaluation, and more information on his condition will be available tomorrow.
