I'm guessing that finish was in mind all along and they held off on telling them until the last minute in fear of AJ pulling an AJ's Husband.

You mean the bookers always intended to do "18 seconds, redux" and were slow-rolling AJ and Nikki by letting them think they'd have 8 minutes or whatever? That sounds really unlikely, and the beats make no sense otherwise (kiss distraction from double-secret-turned Brie into finisher).

Actually I was really impressed with the crowd interaction all night. Two real standouts in the tag match on that front were Miz and Stardust with some great old-school heeling to get heat from the fans.

I thought it was pretty funny when during the match Sandow was getting his chants and he was unsure if he should copy Miz and ignore it, or to encourage them. Finally he just waved his arm up a couple of times and then went back to mimicking.

The thing is he was mimicking Miz, just instead of the like secondish delay of him doing something after Miz did, He just did it like 4 seconds after.

So Miz would raise his hands get booed then a couple of beats later Sandow would raise his hands to cheers.

Also Miz not being sure if he should be furious or thrilled that Sandow tagged himself in and won the match.

Actually Tyson Kidd was also a great douche-heel during the Diva match. Stopping Nattie from glad-handing on the way to the ring, idly taking selfies at ringside and barely watching the match, standing in front of Nattie after they won to hog her glory, and taking all the credit on Twitter afterwards. Just A+ stuff.

His impersonations weren't getting him over until he started taking the comedy bumps and pantomiming Miz, which is what people love.

...Cena will turn on Sting won't he.

I don't know how this is going to end, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say "Ric Flair standing over Sting's corpse alongside Triple H."

He just can't help himself after all these years. As soon as he heard Sting's entrance music, he immediately turned to his left and told a phantom Arn Anderson to go beat the poo poo out of him. It's a Pavlovian response.

I find it odd that on an underbooked show with two divas matches, the meaningful one gets the death spot and can't even get a couple extra minutes shaved off an hour long main event.

The whole thing stinks of something a few top people did intentionally in a way to make look as unintentional as possible.

Maybe the personal assistant storyline made Brie realize how much she loved her sister and that she was foolish in her ways for not being by her side.

Edit: also I watched survivor series with my friend who never watches it and he said, "not gonna lie that was pretty fun."

Brie smirking and seeming content with herself was weird given the build, but it's not like AJ didn't have it coming after attacking her for no reason on Monday. You're right, it could very easily be her setting up Nikki to get the belt off her.

I took Brie smiling as being a sign that they had this planned all along, taking Bella domination over any single glory.

Not that I necessarily disagree with you, but it just seems strange and nonsensical to go from Brie blood-feuding with and being made a slave to her sister to cheerfully helping her out. I would hope there's more to the story, but eh, Divas division.

They haven't played up the "Brie hates being her sister's personal assistant" angle at all, really, I don't think.

Im going to go with the latter. They're going to turn on their husbands and tag team. John Cena is then going to tell Nikki to stop being a poopy ho bag and she will turn face.
