    Is obvious story telling necessarily bad? No...but this was very on brand triple h booking. Competent, makes sense, and it's not bad just....just a little obvious.

    The Rollins ending was literally the only way the match could have gone. Thats not bad but I felt every match was that way. Nothing surprised me at all even 1%. Maybe if vince was in charge charlotte wins because he would milk the charlotte heat but other than that.

    Most previews/predictions I read did not have Seth winning.

    I figured Seth was winning after that segment on Raw with Heyman.

    High on mushrooms tryna watch the main event but I skipped too early and ended up being fascinated by the true circle jerk that is the WWE Hall of Fame segment

    Triple H is the perfect fascist dictator in that he's the definition of mid, carried by better talents and nepotism. I hate his guts.

  8. Main event was great even with the predictable ending. Rest of the card was meh. But tonight should be much better.

    Very curious why Bayley was written off the show tonight and who her replacement will be.

    Also hope tonight's not a trainwreck like last night.

    Lot of people are saying it's Becky. I still think it's stupid that they pulled Bayley from the show

    I can see it go both ways so this might be the one that surprises me.

    I can see Cena losing and slowly going back to babyface by Summerslam as he realizes he turned on everyone.

    Incredibly stupid they pulled Bayley. She's a workhorse, reward her.

    Roxanne better get a push post-WM but this is Trips so he'll likely forget.

    Every match on that card got slowly better and piqued at just the right time. The most WWE of WWE main events and I enjoyed the shit out of it.

    Match by match:

    Jey/Gunther: was looking forward to that, but left feeling a bit cold. I understand the ending, but I didn’t like it.

    New Day/War Raiders: ok match, but a classic example of how Trips struggles to get over tag teams. Crowd couldn’t give a shit.

    Naomi/Jade: really enjoyed this. Jade looked good, no botches for the smarks to hone in on. All good.

    LA Knight/Fatu: enjoyable, but should have been a squash. Right winner, hope he never loses it.

    Rey Fenix/El Grande Americano: great match, surprised it didn’t end on reveal of whoever is under the mask. Must want Mysterio to do it.

    Tiffy/Charlotte: another good match. Little sloppy in places, but you could feel that they didn’t like each other. Right winner.

    Punk/Rollins/Reigns: big, dumb WWE bollocks and I loved it. Proper Mania match.

    7/10 for me

  20. my biggest gripe last night was that two matches in a row opponents had the same color outfits on. Rey/Grande both wearing red and masks. Tiffy/Charlorre both wearing pink with blonde hair. It shouldn’t bother me but it did lol

    Watched the last two matches this morning and was made infinitely better by not seeing people moan online about the show as I was watching. May just try and stay offline for tonight so the endless negativity from some doesn’t ruin it.

    Alvarez made a good point about the main event that usually in a situation like where everyone knows whoever Heyman supports in the end is gonna win that the audience won't give a shit about the match until the moment happens. That wasn't the case here. The crowd was fully invested in the parts that had nothing to do with the Heyman story. That is a sign of an extremely well worked match.
