That card is just brutal.

Every match seems massively overbooked or hugely underbooked. Not really interested in any of it.

The only thing I'm remotely interested in is seeing who turns heel between Shane and Bryan. I guess the tag match might turn out to be decent because I'm sure there's going to be a big spot or two. Outside of that, the rest is a gigantic dumpster fire.

Thank god i get all the PPV free because i would feel ripped off 99.9% of the time.

Technically I paid .99 cents for this one, as they offered me three months for that price. Still, I haven't paid 9.99 in over a year, and the last time was on accident when I forgot to cancel a free trial.

There being 9 weeks between Survivor Series and Royal Rumble with the only PPV in between being the worst card of the year is brutal. If they followed last year's schedule this would've happened 2 weeks ago which is all it needed with rematches like Styles/Jinder and Charlotte/Natalya. Then the Raw PPV would be scheduled for about now. Tbf that card would have been pretty weak too with Joe vs Reigns main event, Braun vs Kane, Absolution 6 women tag, another The Bar vs Ambrose/Rollins match

Prediction on who wins US title match? You would think Ziggler is added to eat the pinfall here. But did either Corbin or Roode need to be protected from a loss? Unless one of them is moving onto bigger things? Say they make Corbin pin Ziggler, then Roode becomes #1 contender for WWE title on Smackdown and turns heel on Styles and brings out his real character. That could be a solid program. Or they could do Corbin/Styles I guess. I have the US title on Jinder by Wrestlemania so do they need a face transition champion? I guess that would be Roode or is Ziggler turning face now?

Not sure it's possible to turn Bryan heel. Pretty much no matter what he does, the fans will still cheer him over Shane. Fans kinda like Shane - but Bryan's their hero. And really, I doubt fans would mind him helping Steen and Sammy. Afterall, they're now underdogs, and the underdog role makes them less heelish. Not to mention, they're lots of fun to watch and have great chemistry.

Yeah Corbin retains and Roode shows up on SDL congratulating Styles and beats him up.

Boy Ziggler will be so pissed.

Clash of Champions

• Breezango vs. The Bludgeon Brothers

• Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon are Special Guest Referees, if Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn lose, they'll be fired from all of WWE: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn vs. Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura - A heel turn is happening from Bryan or Shane, I'd pick Shane because there's no way Daniel Bryan ever gets booed. Shinsuke takes the pin, won't hurt him because I have him winning the Royal Rumble.

• SmackDown Tag Team Championships: The Usos (c) vs. Aiden English and Rusev vs. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin vs. The New Day

• SmackDown Women's Championship Lumberjack Match: Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Natalya

• United States Championship: Baron Corbin (c) vs. Bobby Roode vs. Dolph Ziggler - Roode needs the title to stay relevant unfortunately.

• WWE Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Jinder Mahal w/ The Singh Brothers - Jinder wins it back here, AJ wins it back at the Royal Rumble, AJ (c) beats Jinder and Cena at Fastlane.

Well Dolph winning is a surprise. That was a good match

Are the bludgeon bros wearing Kane concept gear on purpose?

Styles is the BITW, he can carry anyone to a good match. Except Ambrose.

For looking terrible on paper, I was sports entertained.

2 pages???

Wow.

What's with Ziggler now? Roode wasn't pinned so we have that but not sure how Roode-Ziggler 2 will be interesting, especially a face Roode.

I was hoping for Ryder to win because Mojo is absolutely terrible. He's just not good at all.

Dolph winning the US title last night was for sure a surprise. A great match and a sweet ending. Hopefully Roode moves on and Corbin goes down the card.

The fatal 4-way tag match, I missed the ending of it because my internet was going through some sort of hiccup or something and just stopped when it looked like Rusev and English were going to win it, so I had to turn my XBOX off and turn it back on and when I did, the Usos were standing outside the ring holding their titles. I'll have to go back and watch but I was entertained up until that happened.

Glad to see Charlotte retain in this very messy match. Are lumberjack matches automatically no DQ meaning ANYONE can just run into the ring and do whatever? It seemed that way.

The Bludgeon Brothers dominating was expected, I'm actually digging this team to be honest.

I liked the finish of the KO/Zayn v Shinsuke/Orton. I liked how Bryan did the fast count and Shane tried to break it up at the end just "barely" missing breaking it up. Great story. I enjoyed it.

AJ can sure make doo doo butter look great in the ring. This match wasn't that bad at all. The Singh brothers sure can take a Styles Clash like the best of them. Was happy that he made Jinder submit. I like when they let Styles win with his other moves, makes it really seem like Styles can win with the Clash, the Forearm, the Calf Crusher...it's like, how's he going to beat you? Be ready for whatever might happen! Hopefully this bumps Jinder down the card.

Overall, a decent PPV, I was entertained by it.

And of course, the question we can't help asking is... Will DB eventually get in the ring against Shane? Yyyyyye...

Nah, probably not, but...

Kind of bothered but they don't call them Lumberjills anymore?

Yeah the Bludgeon Brothers are awesome.

Jinder has to be done in the main event picture. Didn't draw in India as planned, and he just submitted clean in the middle of the ring. The end.
