7 + 2 for the crowd = 9

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

8 in the hopes that they split Montez Ford from the 600+ lbs. of dead weight that is The Pride.

[john84]

7 for me (8 from Peter if that means anything lol) which is kinda odd given how many thumbs up I gave it but I guess I felt a 7 was a fairer reflection of my personal enjoyment...Ah well, 7 from me it is

[FALLOUT Goldashausen #BLM]

Honestly? Going with a 9 here.

Matches were good-to-great but the crowd? 1000/10.

It certainly seemed like a way bigger show than it was, you could tell Lyon was hungry for WWE.

Please make shows in under-utilized markets a regular thing, Papa H.

Can't wait until tomorrow (and the inevitable SmackDowns before MITB, CATC and Bash in Berlin).

[schma]

I went with 7. The crowd was the best part of the show, you could tell they were loving every second of the experience and that added a lot to it. There was some interesting stuff in the show but little of it felt must see and I will never get used to matches constantly being interrupted by long commercial breaks with no attempt to show what happened during the breaks, only a sentence or two form announcers to catch you up. I think it speaks volumes that I started watching Smackdown from the beginning at about 10:20pm and I wrapped up the show at about 11:25pm. I didn't skip any segments, though I skipped past some of the longer entrances and it took me just over an hour to watch a 2 hour show. That was also with a bathroom break in there. Egregious is a word that comes to mind.

[4real]

6 or 7 is fair. Show was enjoyable but not a lot significant happened. The crowd obviously elevated this and gave it a higher score.

[Lance Uppercut]

What were they chanting in French?

French already is a rather hard to catch language if you’re not familiar with it, but then throwing in chanting and I can’t make out a word of what they’re saying.

I swear it sounding like they were demanding Waller

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

In front of any other crowd it's kind of a dull show, but the fans made it fun. 7/10

These international shows are great and I'm glad WWE are doing more of them now. One of the best decisions the company's ever made.

And it helps sleep wise LOL.

[chronocross]

8/10, a lot better than last week's draft shows and the France crowd was hot all night.

[J is Justice]

8.

[koreycaskets]

Alex Riley vs Rob Conway would have gotten massive pops..Amazing crowd!

[john84]

Apparently the crowd were so loud that they received a noise environment warning.

After the 2 counts they were saying "Simplement Deux" (only two) which is an iconic catchphrase of one of the French commentators.

In the main event segment they were singing a french song called "Il est vraiment phénoménal"(he is truly phenomenal), for AJ Styles 😂
