I've decided I hate I Quit matches, not quite as much as Last Man Standing, but I definitely do.
Also, still pretty pissed off that Lana is only face because boobs. She has done nothing else face-ish, she's just been the anti-American heel mouthpiece for a killer Bulgarian for however long and Rusev isn't even noticeably mean to her any more than any couple that ever has an argument.

So they really are doing the whole Mero/Sable thing over again? Because that worked so well last time around?
Going off the end of that match, they could turn this around by revealing that Lana is secretly in love with Rusev, and couldn't stand to see him in pain. Then they could keep them together, in a pairing that really worked well, and not have to try and find something else for them each to do. Because let's be honest, all that would be would be Rusev as a monster heel before falling into the midcard, and Lana as a valet/part time wrestler who quickly decides she can make more of her career anywhere but the WWE.
Also: Rusev needs to beat Cena. Clean. He needs to not go out of this feud looking like a chump who can't win a match.

Choida gets a new gimmick walking around backstage asking people if they want to quit.

I've decided I hate I Quit matches, not quite as much as Last Man Standing, but I definitely do. I quit matches are fine, but John Cena has been in (re: won) 4 out of the last 5 I quit matches according to Wikipedia. (Swagger/Del Rio being the exception) They would be much more interesting if one of the participants didn't have "I don't quit" as one of his primary characteristics.

Isn't Cena supposed to be a fighting champion who will put his title on the line every week? No one said he isn't. But there's a difference between selling a beatdown and mentioning what'll happen the next night. He should have sold Rusev's assault more, say something like "if I'm able to compete tomorrow then yeah I'll do another challenge" and he'd still be legit as a fighting champion. There was no need to no-sell the match. Yeah they could even use it to help the match/Raw "Is Cena fit enough to defend" "If he does defend will his hellacious match last night hinder his chances of retaining"

It was bad because Rusev would flick Cena on the ear and Chioda would ask Cena if he quit.
EVERY MOVE. YOU DONT ASK "DO YOU QUIT" AFTER EVERY DAMN MOVE

The ending...I get it, but here's my issue. Backlund and Bret lost to that finish, but this is the first time that I can think of where the babyface won with that finish.

This is supposedly what Rusev was screaming at the end of the match:
I
Next time?

That ending was just dumb; only because they made such a big deal out of Cena being unable to say I QUIT, then Lana is able to say it for Rusev.
Sure the story is "he was screaming in Bulgarian" or whatever; but bleh.

This is supposedly what Rusev was screaming at the end of the match: INext time? I'm sure he'll be this successful

Historically has the ref always been that annoying in I Quit matches? I can't actually recall an I Quit match on the top of my head right now, might be a network job.
I didn't really mind the match itself for the most part, the rope stuff at the end was kind of pointless and weird. It felt like they were trying to force a memorable moment, "Oh man do you remember that time Rusev broke the ring and Cena used it against him?". Just no.

I didn't mind the match. f***ing HATED the finish. They actually said the opponent must literally say 'I quit.'" Didn't f***ing happen. I really wish WWE would stop making me hate Lana, but God damn they're doing a good job.

The only time where I felt that rope spot was used to an awesome effect was when Cena did it on Umaga in their Last Man Standing match.
