I loved it, and I actually liked the finish too. Ambrose had no choice but to basically run into a Pedigree because otherwise he would've been counted out. The whole match seemed designed to say, the stars conspired to give Hunter every lucky break in the world. And if just one of those breaks hadn't gone his way, Dean Ambrose would now be Champ. Thought it was really well laid out personally.

Good Match, Shitty Finish, will be about the consensus for it Shitty finish as in "A legitimately bad finish" or "The guy I like didn't win"? It's seemingly one and the same to many of you, so you may have to be specific. I'd say both. It was a legitimately bad finish regardless of the result. It made Dean look like an idiot twice over, it didn't work for making Triple H look threatening for Reigns because he just barely squeaked by on an utter fluke basically rendering the match pointless on that front as well, and it was very awkwardly paced with Ambrose making the big miracle recovery then just immediately being killed right after to where it didn't even have time to sink in.

The one match I was able to catch (its been a weird weekend), but I loved it. Wished it could have had more time after Ambrose kicking out of the Pedigree but it was still great. I'd love for the false pin he got to be used to get him into WrestleMania, but I don't know that will happen.

Ambrose's job was to make Triple H look legit so his match with Roman doesn't look so one-sided in Reigns' favor. The problem is that the fans wished Roman and Dean were in the opposite situations. And now Ambrose gets to 'look good in defeat' to Brock at Wrestlemania. The one guy on the roster who can pile up L's and not lose any of his momentum with the fans. Ambrose is winning at Mania though! Naaaaah. They're saving Brock's next pinfall loss to be courtesy of Reigns as well. Ambrose will keep it close and will probably earn Brock's respect at the end of the match.

Honestly with how much WWE's in, "F*** sense, we're doing what we want!" mode I am confident at SummerSlam Brock's losing to Strowman.

Before tonight I would've agreed with you but judging from what went down tonight it seems like either Ambrose or Wyatt is getting the win over Lesnar in the end. Then they'll do the "REIGNS HAS BEATEN THE CEREBRAL ASSASSIN I LOVE IT" deal and treat it as much as a big deal as beating Lesnar clean

I'm thinking Wyatt and Brock was pushed back to Summerslam with the change to Ambrose for Wrestlemania. They'll probably write off Brock by being attacked viciously by the Wyatts at the RAW after WM. It's possible I suppose that they go with Strowman vs. Brock, but I'm sure whether that happens or not, Ambrose will have to job to Strowman as well.

Thought it was really well laid out personally. Not only this but Trips wasn't even really being a major heel in this match. The promo before the match, Jojo calling him a 14-time champion, Trips not doing major heel stuff (except maybe the feet on the ropes thing), no sledge, just he was really portrayed as being a face tonight. Even though he might be a heel outside of an actual match, he'd been made to be a real fighting "face-like" champion if that makes any sense. He just barely beat Ambrose due to luck like Rollins did during MITB and EC.

My pizza arrived during this match, so it's an automatic 5 stars.

The psychology of going after Triple H's nose and his quad was so simple but effective. Take out both his mental and physical weak spots.
I also like how this match solidified that whilst Ambrose appears erratic that he is more in control than it seems.
It was a refreshing change from the spot heavy fast paced main event scene as of late for sure.
Triple H may not be flashy but he is an extremely competent wrestler.

I've never been a fan of The Dusty Finish, no different here. Even the Dusty finish on its own would've been alright without the last sequence of events. Like say the countout was the finish, that woulda been odd, but you could've excused it. Him sliding back in to immediately get Pedigreed is just goofy. Decent match except for that last few minutes. Although I do think HHH was in both submissions a bit too long before escaping.

Wasn't even the best match of day (if we're counting other promotions as well)

Which is bizarre, because on Monday, he'll just be talking about Authority and bowing down and the usual HHH stuff while Reigns returns to boos.

For me it's the first match of Ambrose I saw a main event guy. Every one complains about hhh but three guy it's still great in the ring. For me this was elevation in a loss for Dean. Loved the match

I also want to give props to FAN because I see on other boards they're not getting the entire point of the match. They're only seeing Ambrose losing and they didn't get the fact that the match told a story, one guy even thought the story was Ambrose "proving he's better than Triple H" but that's not what the match told, that's the point of the feud in general. There's a difference between the story of a match and the point of a feud and the entire point a match is made. After seeing the responses on this board I'm glad I came here because you guys really know your shit.
Glad everyone enjoyed the match (sans the finish) though. Forreal.

Ambrose's job was to make Triple H look legit so his match with Roman doesn't look so one-sided in Reigns' favor. I'm not buying this as a match to build Triple H up so that Trips looks like he's on Roman's level, not in a heartbeat. Roman's built up to be stronger than Dean, and Triple H barely put Dean away. This looks to me like Roman's going to decimate Triple H.

Triple H was dominated the whole way through, was beaten at a point but saved in a way that came off more like luck or a corrupt ref than any sort of effort on his part, then he won basically because Ambrose first threw himself through a table like an idiot then, after knocking himself out, staggered into a fluke Pedigree. Triple H looked just as bad as Ambrose did.

I...thought that the match was pretty dull for the most part, but the false finish was brilliant, and everything from that point onward was pretty good.
