A few things:
Surprising and a bit disconcerting that Axel vs Truth made the ppv yet a title match did not.
I was glad to see both Owens and Charlotte retain as Dolph usually gets booked like shit when he wins a title and Brie is still awful in the ring.
AJ vs Y2J was better than I figured it would be. Still I'd rather see AJ work with Owens or Neville.
With Reigns winning, my interest in Wrestlemania took a massive hit.

I enjoyed it. I never expected Ambrose to win so I'm not disappointed. But he was beautifully booked coming into it and I think he looks good coming out of it.

I watched the show late last night and fell asleep during the main event (shame on me). I had to avoid results all day until I got home to watch the end of the match to see how it ended. What a dud. I was pulling for Ambrose.
One thing on the show that surprised me is that that Machine Gun Kelly didn't get involved in Kevin Owens' match.

Fun PPV! Owens-Ziggler. Y2j-AJ, and the main event were all really good matches in my book. Lets enjoy whats good about the ppv instead of picking it apart!
