[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Really stopped caring about this WM/10

[Lizuka #BLM]

I'm kind of split between a 6 and a 7, I'll go with 7 to be nice. Show didn't drag too much and had some highlights without much in the way of stuff that was outright bad, though don't think it was really especially worth seeing either.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

5 - it was fine. I felt like the last segment was just there and the rest of the show was mostly meh. It had the Rey moment which was cool and Gunther/Butch was solid but that's about it.

[asuka007]

A 6/10:

It wasn’t a bad show. And there was good stuff here. But it was just kind of, there for the most part:

[Deleted]

9/10. Was entertanined by SD tonight from beginnng to end. Even Charlotte's dumbass saying that her reign's weren't built on nepotism had me rolling in tears lmfao. Good stuff.

[XIII]

same.  I'll watch it for sure and it will likely still be a very good show, but I just want them to get through it already so we can see which direction they go in after.

[welshpenguin]

Strong 9. I really enjoyed the show.

Part of it is that it feels VERY predictable, which isn't a bad thing exactly as it's gonna bring some massive freshening to things (except for the RAW Women's title scene, of course). The other part is outside the Bloodline vs. Cody/Sami/KO story, the build hasn't even been just there. It's barely showed up.

[john84]

I'll go with 7 - Main positives being Mysterio segment, Rhodes v Ludwig as well. Main negative was Charlotte's promo.

[saneiac]

5. Not bad, just boring.

Prettymuch. The Sami/KO stuff got a tad too cutesy and it felt like a weird choice trying to follow up last week's brawl with a fairly routine Charlotte promo.

[Fade]

I really enjoyed what I saw. Shoutout to Barrett who’s acclimated well in his role despite big shoes to fill.

Strong 7 or 8

[chronocross]

6/10, it was a decent show.

I liked the Rey/Dom segment and the opener with Cody vs. Kaiser was good as well.

Aside from that, it was so-so.

[polarbearpete]

10! The build to this Mania has been fire

The other part is outside the Bloodline vs. Cody/Sami/KO story, the build hasn't even been just there. It's barely showed up.

A bunch of the matches have seemingly been built over a long period of time and with varying degrees of good story to it (ymmv): Reigns-Cody; Usos-KO/Sami; Dom-Rey; Finn-Edge; Gunther-Sheamus-McIntyre; Rhea-Charlotte; Paul-Rollins; Damage CTRL-Becky/Lita/Trish.

The rest were thrown together quickly: Theory-Cena ; Lesnar-Omos; tag showcase matches; Asuka-Bianca
