It seems a little light on matches due to there being only six, but I'm guessing that will most likely be rectified on this week's Raw and/or SmackDown.

As for the "Ring of Fire" match, my guess is that it's an Inferno match with a different name - which if true, is a disappointing change, as the "Inferno match" name sounds better and people should recognise it from its past use anyway.

Matches updated.

Thinking about it, I think it's most likely that the "Ring Of Fire" match will instead be a regular match but with the the fire surrounding the ring to deter interference (just like a steel cage has been given the same reason for being used at times).

Great to see Bryan win the WWE Championship, even if it was for such a short period of time. :D

The Triple H Pedigree / Orton cash-in is something that seems so obvious after the fact that it was going to happen, but that I still somehow didn't expect to happen before, as I was thinking that Orton was just sending another message.

Obviously the Bray Wyatt / Kane match rules were like I thought in the last post, but although it works for developing Wyatt's character and was the decision needed for his in-ring debut to look good, the aftermath just seemed to make Kane look too insignificant.

Natalya / Brie Bella match was exactly as expected, no surprises there.

Cody Rhodes / Damien Sandow was good, though I thought that they would give Sandow the win due to him being the World Heavyweight Championship Money In The Bank holder, but perhaps this is an indication that they are going to make Sandow put it on the line in a future match against Rhodes, so that Rhodes can win it and use it instead.

Ziggler & Kaitlyn / Langston & AJ was a match that while good as it meant that both got some in-ring payback, just didn't seem to have the feel that the storyline(s) are really going anywhere.

Ambrose / RVD ending in a disqualification was good in that it kept the title on Ambrose, but still allowed RVD to look good despite that.
