I mean other than Strowman-Wyatt and Asuka-Sasha, not a whole lot to care about really either because most of the guys fighting are rather irrelevant or the results are very obvious.

You forgot the bar fight

Can't say I'm crazy for an eye for an eye match, but with Rey and Rollins, at least they have pros doing it.

When was the last time Buddy Murphy won a match?

Cesaro & Nakamura need a team name

Other than maybe the preshow match and the tag match, that was absolutely terrible with little to no redeeming qualities about it.

Really??? I mean most results were obvious but the way they built them were at least believable.

I like how stiff most matches were. They got too obsessed with eyes though. And although I must admit the endings for some were not what I have hoped for, it was a great ending for a chapter for the continuation of the story. Banks-Asuka, Braun-Bray to name some.

Those with legit endings were Cesaro and Nak, plus Dolph and Drew's. The latter was one hell of a performance for both. Next time I wish Dolph would win cause this guy's a soldier. Seems to be finished though.

And oh, as much as the Rey-Seth match delivered, didn't like the outcome except for Seth puking

Tough crowd

I thought it was a pretty solid show.

Sasha vs Asuka was such a good match - totally ruined by a nonsensical ending. Hopefully, they'll have a good rematch tonight.

Did anyone expect something better from the Swamp match? If you loved The Boneyard Match and hated the Swamp match - Why?

It was a bit stupid and I would usually say typical WWE, but with how they are going with long term story telling with Prichard, I got my hope up. And at least they are consistent with Bayley's character with being the annoying heel champ that just does whatever she wants.

And oh, would've preferred The Fiend dishing the Mandible Claw to Braun instead of just resurfacing. It did deliver a good visual though

New Day vs Cesaro & Nakamura was easily the best thing of the night.
What a brutal fight.

Was definitely the worst ppv of the year.

So, Vince changed his mind about the Sasha vs Asuka match.
Asuko would go over clean, but - as usual - the plan changed right before the show.

The eye for an eye match was just plain ridiculous. Truly just a preposterous premise for a match. That two athletes would subject themselves to that is something well beyond that line of disbelief suspension. And then there’s the way it ended — Rey holding that googly eye prop, Seth throwing up, the ref casually saying “it’s out” — it was all just absurd.

Also, I cannot stand when the WWE announcers try to convey that they’re stunned and dismayed by what they just saw. It comes off amateur-ish and just so fake (especially Byron Saxton, no matter what emotion he’s trying to convey it comes across as annoyingly inauthentic).

I didn’t see all of the Sasha/Asuka match, but found the ending interesting. Certainly didn’t expect her to leave with both titles, even if it was by crook. They seem to be going all in on this Sasha/Bayley exposure; they’re literally everywhere on every show right now.

That was about all I could stomach from this PPV, and it doesn’t seem like I missed much. By the sound of it, the Fiend vs Strowman was just a messy, nonsensical ****.
