Might have gone on a little too long, but it served its purpose, which was to get mega-heat on Trips and Steffy and "plant seeds of doubt" about the inevitable outcome of Mania

And of course it helped if you watched the Raw after-show on the network, where we saw Daniel being loaded into the ambulance while Josh Matthews, The Miz, and Alex Riley talked up how "chilling" and "disturbing" the attack was, while Jason Albert sold that Trips did what he had to do to reestablish his authority

This was an old-school baby face beatdown to set up the big match, and it was fine.
