#BnB as a face is gonna be fun. He really went out of his way to put Big E over. Big E was really good too. He's too abrasive to be the same sort of face Sheamus is/was, so I see him gradually getting over with crowds.

I saw the daniel bryan one. Are these completely scripted, or are they coming up with answers on the spot? They feel improvised, especially Rollins saying basically, "Ten years ago, Evolution was great, but now Batista's occupied with Hollywood, Triple H is occupied with running the company, and Orton was brittle ten years ago and is completely falling apart now." Like, that felt like the sort of thing he's going to get in hot water over. Speaking of Rollins, there was also the, "Justice is a metaphor, we wanted the company to be more entertaining," thing. If the 'metaphor' stuff was scripted, the scriptwriter should be fired. If it wasn't, they should probably just keep Rollins far away from the mics. (They probably should anyway, but still) That was terrible. Especially bad when contrasted with the other two who actually did well.

I can't wait for a real goofy match finish to happen, and have these guys deadpan responses on how they won. "Mr. Fuji, obviously, that was a huge win for your client. But I have to ask, are you and Yokozuna at all worried about how the Undertaker magically flew around the arena after you and your associates murdered him on live television?"

I thought they were really entertaining. They felt much more natural that the typical promos you see. Bryan was better than his usual, the triple threat guys were all good, it was good to see Big E show some personality and Barrett really put everyone over (as did the others).
I thought the justice thing was kind of a clever way to brush all that old justice talk to the side and move past it. The Shield were never about justice anyway - it was just a catchphrase and an excuse to beat people up and make a name for themselves. The Orton comment was funny and it was just smacktalk.

I'd swear AJ Lee was the reporter that congratulated Barrett on winning the IC title.

The biggest evidence of improv, to me, was Bryan rambling all over the place trying to reconcile Kane's current persona with the Team Hell No days. Like, he contradicted himself several times, and just had trouble making any coherent statement about how the history interacted with the feud. (Which says a lot about Kane's rapid swinging of gimmick and character.)
