I liked that Kalisto retained because that there might potentially be another encounter between the two for the belt. He “let” the crowd get to him and hit the greatest military press in the history of wrestling. Kalisto bumped and flew around the ring like a pinball. Sans the silliness with the crowd, this encounter between the two blew their WrestleMania one out of the water. The Big Guy got “Goldberg” and “You Can’t Wrestle” chants mere minutes into the match. Warren Taylor: The Allstate Arena went straight up Philly on the Ryback. Kalisto was great himself, and the two put on quite a show in a quick pre-show match. From there, the match was secondary to the hate for Ryback. Rob McCarron: The Ryback worked the crowd so easily into a frenzy with his CM Punk “tribute” (or mockery) entrance. I doubt the Dolph saga is over, so let’s see what kind of brutal destruction Baron has planned for Dolph at Extreme Rules. Look, Baron didn’t get a win on his Raw debut over Dolph. Rob McCarron: Baron was probably a vast favorite to win the match, but a Dolph win isn’t too surprising.
