Rich Brennan and Xavier Woods are on commentary. Swagger&#8217;s music was cut off for Adam Rose to emerge to no music. Rose, now wearing glasses with biker shorts and a vest, did a weird bit singing his name. Apparently this is his new way of trying to get a reaction\u00a0by singing show-tunes.<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; JACK SWAGGER vs. ADAM ROSE<\/p>\n<p>Rose did not seem to want to wrestle early on, so Swagger forced him to fight. Rose cheated to take advantage, though, and went to work on Swagger&#8217;s face with knee drops. Swagger, with\u00a0a very\u00a0shaggy look, came back with a Swagger Bomb. But, Rose cut him off with a kick to the knee. Did Rose just do Honma&#8217;s &#8220;Kokeshi&#8221; top-rope headbutt? Swagger kicked out of Honma&#8217;s finish, then slapped on the Patriot Lock for a quick tap-out.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Swagger via submission in 5:00. Swagger looks like a guy content to be on Superstars with his look, while Rose will probably be back to party-pooping next week. The singing gimmick is so\u00a0NXT two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Video Review: Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton&#8217;s show-opening promo exchange from Raw. They face the Wyatts at Hell in a Cell next Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Raw Replay: Xavier gladly fed to a video review from Raw of New Day looking more aggressive against Orton &amp; Ambrose. Notably, the graphic promoted this match as the pre-show match before the PPV.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1826126671\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Raw Replay: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman. Pre-show promo bomb not included.<\/p>\n<p>Video Review: Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker feud.<\/p>\n<p>Back in the arena, Stardust made his ring entrance for the main event of the show. Fandango was out next to his Fandango&#8217;ing theme music. He&#8217;s missing a dance partner. Do they eventually go back to Fandango and Summer Rae?<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8212; STARDUST vs. FANDANGO<\/p>\n<p>Back-and-forth early on until Stardust posted Fandango shoulder-first. Fandango sold the effects on the floor heading to break. [CB] Back from break, Stardust continued to work on the shoulder. The work actually led to the finish, as Fandango was unable to use his arm to block Stardust&#8217;s springboard kick. Stardust followed with Cross Rhodes on a weakened Fandango for the pin and the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Stardust in 10:00. Refreshing to see the heel&#8217;s work actually lead to the finish, not just be five minutes of filler to set up the babyface&#8217;s comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Raw Rebound: Kane(s) tormented\u00a0WWE World Hvt. champion Seth Rollins on Monday. And then pinned\u00a0Rollins in a non-title lumberjack match two weeks before their title match at Hell in a Cell. Superstars wrapped on Kane standing tall over Rollins.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1961421283\"><div id=\"pwtor-4066374765\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week&#8217;s WWE Superstars episode featured two singles matches &#8211; Jack Swagger vs. Adam Rose and Fandango vs. Cody Rhodes &#8211; plus several video reviews.
