Max - Obviously the strategy Tennant used here would appear to be sound. Knowing he was not recovered from that powerbomb yet, Tennant decided to tap out now instead of suffering any more damage while in that figure four. This is key, because in my opinion this quick decision would come back and haunt him in the end. Meanwhile the score now stands as Payne 1 and Tennant nothing.
