WWE Main Event Results: Winners, Twitter Reaction and Analysis from September 16

The Doctor Chris MuellerSep 16, 2014

Welcome to Bleacher Report's recap of this week's Main Event. Here is where we take a look at what happened on the show, examining the winners, reactions to matches and any possible ramifications coming out of the program.

You would usually expect WWE's weekly C-show to be packed with video packages hyping a pay-per-view this close to the event, but that wasn't the case this week. There were plenty of videos hyping Night of Champions, but there were also two matches that had a lot of time to breathe.

Miz and Damien Sandow took on Dolph Ziggler and R-Truth in another tag match in their series, and Seth Rollins took on Big E in what turned out to be the hidden gem of the evening.

Let's take a look at everything that went down on this week's Main Event.

The Zigglers vs. The Mizs

It looks like WWE is keeping R-Truth with Dolph Ziggler for the time being since this is their third time teaming together in the past five days. This is not a bad thing. They could actually make a great tag team if that was how WWE wanted to proceed.

While we have seen this match twice already, seeing these four men interact still hasn't gotten old. They're all great at what they do and play the parts they have been given very well.

This match was a good example of how to mix storyline with actual wrestling. It wasn't a clinic or a spot-fest. It was just a fun exhibition of four deserving talents that played into an ongoing feud.

Damien Sandow is especially good at mimicking the mannerisms of Miz, but Truth is also very entertaining when he does Ziggler's signature moves.

Miz and Sandow ended up picking up the win after Miz took out Truth with the Skull-Crushing Finale.

Winners: The Mizs

Grade: B+

Notes and Highlights

  • Sandow putting his glasses back on just so he could take them off at the same time as Miz was funny.
  • It would be interesting to hear Truth's thoughts on the difference between wrestling in jeans and trunks. One has to be more comfortable than the other.
  • Miz is one of the few WWE Superstars who knows how to generate real heat.
  • What should Truth and Ziggler's team name be? Leave your suggestions in the comments section, and the best will be put into a poll on next week's ME recap.

Twitter Reaction

Brie Bella vs. Cameron

This wasn't an especially smooth match, but the aggressiveness of both women helped make up for it. While nobody will call this a great bout, it wasn't as bad as it sounds on paper.

The one thing that is noticeable about many Divas in recent months is an increase in their aggression. They are taking harder bumps and being more vicious when they attack.

Brie picked up an easy win over Cameron with a facebuster. It wasn't a memorable victory, but it helped her get a little momentum heading into her match with Nikki at NoC.

Winner: Brie Bella

Grade: C

Notes and Highlights

  • Brie's new entrance music is terrible. WWE should play up the hippie characteristics she has and give her something that sounds like it's out of the '60s.
  • Somebody finally listened to me and gave Cameron a bigger mirror. For some reason, a bigger mirror makes her look more vapid.
  • Cameron actually tried to pin Brie when her shoulders were down. That's a big improvement over what we saw on Raw.
  • Say what you will about Cameron. She actually takes a decent bump.

Twitter Reaction

Big E vs. Seth Rollins

Big E made his first appearance in what seems like a very long time in a match against Seth Rollins. Unfortunately, he was not accompanied by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

Big E got in some decent offense, but this was all about Rollins proving he had the ability to beat someone who is just as powerful as Roman Reigns.

When the participants were first announced, it seemed like Big E might be sacrificed in order to give Rollins an easy win, but that was not the case at all.

This was a back-and-forth match that had some very entertaining moments and showed some of the best qualities from both Rollins and Big E.

These two men have been wrestling each other since they were in NXT, so they have built up some chemistry over the years. Their opposing styles complement each other very well, and they have the skills needed to make the other look good.

The amount of time they were given allowed them to slow things down at times, while also picking up the pace when the time was right. It was a great way to end the show.

The finish came when Rollins took out Big E with the Curb Stomp. It never really seemed like Big E would be the victor, but it was cool to see him give Rollins a run for his money.

Winner: Seth Rollins

Grade: B+

Notes and Highlights

  • Fun fact: Big E defeated Rollins to become the second NXT champion.
  • It never gets old seeing Big E spear someone through the ropes all the way down to the floor.
  • Rollins might just be the most gifted athlete in WWE today. There's very little he can't do.
  • This was the best Big E has looked in a long time.
