He's like 78, the fact he's moving, and even taking a bump is impressive.

Indeed. That doesn't mean it's not hilarious.

Lol what an awful main event. Good to know Brock is winning MiTB. Can't wait.

The Theory-McAfee-McMahon-Austin matches/spots were better than the Main Event.

So, who ends up with the other championship on Raw? Rollins? Edge? Rhodes?

I would hope Edge with the new stable. Between Big E and Brock, we have had a lot of face champions lately on Raw (yes, I know we had Lashley, but it was short).

I would like Edge/Brock at SS.

Cody or Edge make the most sense

The roman Brock match should have opened the show if that’s all they had planned. So many better matches than that BS.

If Roman holds the Universal Championship through next years WrestleMania it'll be a 946 day reign. I can definitely see them doing that, and going well over 1,000 days. Just gotta give him, maybe 5 or 6 new opponents to face in this next year.

Focus these next couple PPVs on the WWE Championship and getting it off him. Probably without him getting pinned. Maybe do Roman (c) vs Cody vs Seth? Or Roman (c) vs AJ vs Edge.

Then you can fued with Drew for a few months. That can be the SummerSlam main event.

After that, do the draft. Then you can do matches vs AJ, Lashley, Orton, Riddle, etc.

Then The Rock comes back and Roman beats him at next years mania.

What was BS about it? It told a story was paced well. The action was good and I think the finish was good. Brock was holding his mid section and selling it another lighting fast spear out of no where is a good way to end it. I don't see why people are **** on the match I watched it and it was a good match .

It was underwhelming due to it being overhyped as the best main event of all time. It certainly wasn't bad though.

I've seen people really dumping on it on Twitter and I just don't agree. The build was great. They didn't turn it in to an over booked mess. We have seen a ton of matches from these two. They told a good story tonight and Roman being the man makes sense. Brock cowboy is something they can still use on the card else where and maybe come back around with when and if they split the tittles or Roman drops it later down the line. It wasn't a 5 star match but it was a solid good match with a decent story that didn't linger too long.

Yep. In my head while I was watching I thought, "Finally, a reasonable build for Roman, making him a believable and credible champion. And finally Brock still looking like a beast but made him mortal"

The psychology of the match was great. No unnecessary spots and the spamming of the finishers made sense

And it looked like he had fun doing it! I was sports entertained - congrats to Mr. McMahon. Now, do I ever want to see him performing physically in a ring? Oh hell no.

Great Wrestlemania - even though there wasn't one match that was an all-time great one. I thought the best match was Becky Lynch vs Bianca Belair. The no doubt about it finish made it better than Rhonda vs Charlotte.

Pat McAfee was absurdly good.

And Cody came through. I marked out when Kingdom started playing. That song was so perfect for that moment.

The Ronda thing is so confusing. And I feel for boogs, I wonder what they had planned for him.

Having never seen the full Cody entrance in AEW that song certainly hits the spot!

Might relate to it on a personal level given my own history but now the questions are:

How far will Vince push him?

Can he be a real main event player?

Now that Austin had a comeback match it really makes me wish we could have seen austin punk 10 years ago. I wonder what happened in between that made austin decide he wanted one more match and why it couldn’t have happened with punk when Austin was 10 years younger.

Gonna take a guess and say his neck and the itch just not being strong enough.

For all we know Taker going into the hall might have played a part too
