Twitter Picture Controversy

Fandango vs. Adam Rose

Adam Rose’s Exotic Express is out here with its two newest members of Layla and Summer Rae.

Fandango charges and throws punches at Rose.  He hits Rose with a back body drop for a two count.  The Express is dancing around the ring and Fandango is distracted but he steadily stomps on Rose.  Fandango steps outside the ring to stop it and receives slaps from Layla and Summer Rae.  Rose comes out, rolls Fandango back in, hits two axe handles, a big spinebuster, a splash in the corner, and hits the Party Foul for three.  Shouldn’t Adam Rose have been disqualified for the slaps?  Anyways…

Winner:  Adam Rose
