WWE Superstars 5/8/2014

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/wwe-superstars-512014.html

Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips are on commentary.

The Uso's (Jimmy and Jey Uso) vs 3MB (Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre)

Hornswoggle is with 3MB. Jin's shoulder is all taped up.

Jimmy and Drew trade basic holds. Jimmy throws him over. Drew side headlocks him then shoulders him over. Jimmy lariats Drew off the blocked hiptoss. Jey top rope clubs Drew's arm. Drew clubs on Jimmy. Jin gets in and is chopped by Jimmy. Jin takes a double back elbow and a double elbow drop. Drew is double clotheslined over the top. The Uso's tease dives but the heels move. Hornswoggle argues with them as he gets left behind.

We go to break and return. Drew gets chopped by Jimmy then hits a knee to the chest. Drew hits punches in the corner and rakes Jimmy's eyes on the ropes. Jimmy is held for a boot from Jin and a spinning neckbreaker. Jin chinlocks Jimmy.

Jin stomps Jimmy then knee drops him. Drew legdrops Jimmy for 2. Drew flying kicks Jimmy in the face. Drew pounds on Jimmy. Jin knee drops Jimmy. Hornswoggle eye rakes Jimmy. Jin chokes Jimmy over the 2nd rope. Jin chinlocks Jimmy.

Jimmy enzugiri's Jin. Jey and Drew get in. Jey hits flying lariats and a superkick on Drew. Jey samoan drops him. Jey flying knees him in the corner. Jey corner hip attacks Drew for 2. Jin is thrown out then Jimmy suicide dives him. Hornswoggle yells at Jimmy and Jimmy tries to superkick him. Horn runs away right into Heath Slater's crotch. Jey superkicks Drew then Jimmy top rope splashes Drew to win.

Thoughts: It was tough to follow as Tom couldn't keep track of which Uso was which. It was your usual Superstars level match with these two teams. It was fine but nothing that great or memorable.

Paige vs Alicia Fox

They lock up and Paige kicks her in the chest. Fox is thrown by the hair. Paige stomps her in the corner for 2. Paige totally misses a headbutt that Fox sells anyway. Paige hits knees to the gut. 

Fox goes out and tilt-a-whirl backbreakers Paige on the floor. Fox stomps Paige. Fox pulls Paige's arms back and surfboards her off of it. Fox then sits on Paige's back with a chinlock. Fox knees her in the gut then slams her. Paige rolls her up for 2. Paige low dropkicks her. She does a very low headscissors and somehow ends up on Fox with it.

Paige hits short arm lariats. Fox back elbows her. Paige is swept on the bottom rope. Paige then submits Fox with the queen angelito stretch.

Thoughts: It was short and not good. They missed on a bunch of stuff, Fox took bumps when she didn't even have anything done to her and the low headscissors into a press was an interesting botch. Fox always had some of the most creative and athletic botches and we got some of those here.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here as usual. The men's tag match was acceptably but Tom Phillips kept messing up the names of The Uso's and threw me off. The women's match had a bunch of sloppy moments and botches and wasn't good. I wouldn't recommend this one and thought it was a little below average for Superstars.
