I went into this with an open mind. I had not seen any of the build up to this show so, I wasn't sure what to expect.
I quite enjoyed the show. Good matches, Especially the cell matches. Wasn't big on some of the out of nowhere finishes, but overall, it was quite an enjoyable night.
I suspect my enjoyment of this product will not last long. My gut tells me raw tomorrow night will not carry this momentum. I know it sounds pessimistic, but this company has given me zero reason to feel otherwise.

I was watching with my buddy who I'm slowly getting into wrestling (broke him in with NXT a couple months ago and now he watches PPV's with me).
He's mystified when I tell him Charlotte was a badass in NXT, super dominant, and helped elevate the division. "Then why does the other lady control most of the match" he asked. I tried to explain but end up going on a smark rant. Easily my least favorite match of the night. When it ended I said aloud, "can we please get the f***ing albatross that is the Bella's out of the title picture?"
I found the tag match boring. I love The New Day but this match just didn't click.
The cell matches were decent. Only Wyatt can lose earlier in the night and then show up and still be some kind of threat (in numbers). Btw Bray is my friends favorite, he liked him immediately. I told him I'll have to show him footage from when Wyatt was actually super over and awesome (pre-Cena).
That Cena match was....there. I was underwhelmed but surprised by Del Rio. Odd they put him with Coulter. The place would have erupted had Ricardo walked out. I don't think it did ADR any favors though. Getting pinned that fast just felt like Cena being like "I came, I jobbed, I'm out". Not saying he had to give the rub to Del Rio, unless he's more hurt than I realize, then bravo for even being in the match. If not, c'mon....
Rollins FINALLY wins a match. No more Korporate Kane stuff. yay?
I won't let my friend watch Raw. Every now and then he asks why, I tell him it's awful, explain the low ratings, and go on a rant about Vince. "But the video packages before the match look great" I tell him it's because of the amazing production team, and if Raw was half as exciting as the video packages it'd be 100 percent better.
Undertaker vs. Lesnar was amazing. I so wanted Sting to come down and help 'Taker, the place (again) would have erupted. But oh well. I guess Vince doesn't want to bring him out of obscurity.
I think those two have more than made up for the WM match, they have great chemistry. Solid PPV.

Kofi Kingston playing the Bongo Drums on D Vons Head will make me give this PPV a 10/10 "I should be resisting this, but I'm paralysed with rage... and island rhythms." I haven't been from Jamaica for years you idiot!

Next PPV, Ambrose faces Orton's trash for costing him a paycheck. (Insert obligatory Orton's Wives joke here)

Too damn quiet out there without Wood's shit-talking. I wish they had brought in a "Special guest Shit-Talker", for the night. my first pick would have been Slick. I sat in the front row for Hogan vs Bosman at MSG in a cage. TV at the time didn't do Slick's during the match performance justice.

I don't mean to be overcritical but seeing Triple H there makes me think...did any other booker constantly pat themselves on the back as much as he does for NXT? I mean NXT IS really great but I feel like after every show it's always Triple H taking "look what I did" pictures or what have you... You gotta admit - it was pretty badass when he drove the NXT tank into the Impact Zone to save Samoa Joe and James Storm.

Kane needs to stop wrestling. Was nice to not see Big Show either.

What is the deal with WWE having senior citizens in these high spots on a table. That's why the couldn't go last. They had to get Kane 's table during the senior citizen discount window.

When did the heel controlling a majority of the match become some sort of huge awful problem? It's been happening in wrestling FOREVER!

Psst, Nikki was the heel. Heels usually control the match. Yeah seriously. When did the heel controlling a majority of the match become some sort of huge awful problem? It's been happening in wrestling FOREVER! I could kind of get the complaint if it was someone like Brie doing it just because her offense looks very, for lack of a better word, fake. She looks like she's just awkwardly tip-toeing through having a fight without chipping a nail, so yes, it's weird whenever she dominates someone who's built up as a serious competitor since it just comes off awkward. Nikki though it's a really bizarre thing to get hung up on since she honestly tends to be very hard-hitting and has a good power game.

It's been happening in wrestling FOREVER! oh okay so she's full heel now, not heel that is trying to be sympathetic face, trying to take credit for the "Divas Revolution" (as a face), and still controlling most of the match even though last PPV people were annoyed Charlotte got all of like 3 moves in. yeah. my bad.

Del Rio looks like he has no passion whenever he's in WWE.
