Nah Cody’s story extended years back years. He’s been telling it to us the whole time. This is dragging things out just to drag it out. And it was the same boring interference crap that we always get with Roman Really??? Part of his plan was leaving, starting a whole new company to be the top star in and coming back to win at WrestleMania is like 7D chess. That’s not the story he’s been telling.

4/10. And that's entirely for the IC Title match. Best match of the night by a LONG margin. Absolute banger.
Night 1: HHH's swan song
Night 2: Vince is back
Every single match, outside the IC title, felt like it had Vince's input on it in some way or another.
What a badly booked, and clunky, and sometimes cringey show.
Purple f***ing kendo sticks, and chairs, and tables. Tell me that isn't some being way too literal Vince shit, lol.
And apparently Balor went from being cool and badass Demon to f***ing male Nikki Cross.
f*** Cody and Asuka I guess. And also Demon Balor is done.
What a mess.
I need a drink.

Can I give a hot take? I know Bianca’s reign has gone for too long, but I really don’t think Asuka is as over as many of you would like to think. I really don’t think much would have come if she did win.

How do you pass up Drew winning in Cardiff and Sami winning in Montreal, to have a show as good as Night One was, to get you to the absolute perfect moment to dethrone Roman, to...that.
Oh my god what is wrong with this company.

Ugh, this company has bypassed more natural endings than Return of the King.

What a cursed show. I feel like the only thing that went flawlessly was the pyro didn't light anybody on fire this time.... that we know of.
So strange how Night 1 was was borderline flawless with both circumstance and booking and Night 2 had multiple injuries and whatever that Women's Tag ending was and that turd ending.

The triple threat ruled and I would've been fine with any of the 3 winning. Finn vs Edge was very good. Asuka vs Bianca was a solid match that never got to that third gear, and of course BIANCA WINS LOL. Cody vs Roman was a great match with an all-time infuriating ending. Everything else was filler. Would be a 3, went with a 4 due to the hilarity of Shane pulling a Kevin Nash.

I really don’t think much would have come if she did win. PWTorch's live show last night mentioned in their onsite report stuff from last night on their podcast/review that Bianca was getting a pretty decent amount of heat for going over Asuka, and even if they didn't mention it, you could see the audience not reacting positively towards Bianca winning, with WWE desperately trying to find a camera shot of some crowd members NOT booing or giving a thumbs down. Asuka is (or was) way more over than Bianca has been since at least the Rumble. Live events, and even her matches on RAW pretty much prove it. Meanwhile Bianca is struggling to get good reactions these days because she just never evolves, and her character is so one dimensional, it might as well be zero dimensional. WWE missed the chance to strike while the iron is hot and put the title on Asuka, which would have benefitted everyone. But instead they gave a middle finger to the fans. Bianca is basically Charlotte 2.0 now, while Asuka is basically pre-"The Man" Becky Lynch 2.0, where she's going to have to fight to get good booking now. And WWE is going to make sure she doesn't get it because they don't want her being more over than the company chosen one. Hell, all you need to do is go back and watch the tag match from a couple of weeks ago, where the crowd wanted to see Asuka wrestle more than Bianca. But instead they had Bianca do all of the power spots and spots that would get her some shine while Asuka got stuck standing on the apron basically.

Eh, I still think this isn’t much of a crime, we’ve seen what they’ve done with Asuka as champ. I believe that of Bianca went over ladies in the showcase such as Liv, Raquel, and hell perhaps even Chelsea, then a bigger “crime” would have been committed. I really don’t think fans were dying for an Asuka win. Like I don’t think this was a Cody losing blunder.

Bianca's videos are MORE disliked than the Roman/Cody stuff. Just admit that WWE f***ed up last night and should have had Asuka go over Bianca. Because it's painfully clear that people are sick of her as champ now. And Asuka has been constantly screwed over by management in favor of company chosen ones.

Bianca going over Asuka was worse, in my opinion, because she's one of the few women that could be seen on Bianca's level. And now she's been dispatched, who else could believably beat Bianca?

I never said Bianca should have retained: I get people are tired of her. But I don’t think Asuka is some victim that got her momentum derailed. There wasn’t a strong build to this.

Time to build up Raquel or see if Damage control breaks up Raquel is never, ever going to work. They have tried to build her up multiple times and the audience does not care in the slightest because she's average at best in the ring and a black hole of charisma. And Bianca has already effortlessly chumped on all of Damage CTRL multiple times.
