Okay, for real, Miz / Rollins was really damn good but any show that had that Charlotte / Carmella match AND that Styles / Nakamura finish AND Alexa / Nia AND that main event is in, "Worst PPV of the year," territory. God that sucked.

[The Rick Jericho]

1/10.

Gosh. The crowd was lost. Finishes were horrible.

If Bryan had jobbed to Cass, this would've been -1.

If this was an experiment then it failed.

[The Legend of Groose]

6 out of 10. The first hour was good and the 2nd hour was not bad, but god that 3rd hour was just awful.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

f***in' 1/10.

Daniel Bryan wins +1.

Everything else -9.

This was December to Dismember tier.

I don't get as down on the product as a lot of people do even when it's bad, but even I have to say that was a f***ing horrible PPV aside from the opening match.

[Some Guy]

IC title match was great, the music segment was fun, I enjoyed the Bayley/Ruby match well enough, AJ/Nakamura was decent until the dumbass ending and it's nice to see Bryan win. That's about it. A 4 sounds appropriate.

I'm not sure why WWE doesn't want to make Joe a top star when he's running on fewer years left than most of the younger talent. Like, get your money on your investment and push guys that people like to see instead of forcing Roman into a place he doesn't belong.

Anyway, strong, strong opener with Rollins/Miz, AJ/Naka was getting good until that finish, and....I don't really recall anything notable about the rest. Some of it was fine (Orton/Jeff and Bryan/Cass), and some of it was downright bad. Carmella/Charlotte should hopefully wake the company up on Carmella - her time may be down the road, but it sure as hell is not now. Joe/Reigns was disappointing, and the fans had already been burned enough and a Joe loss was not going to help.

This was not a show that will be fondly remembered.

Didn't think it was bad at all, pretty average.

That Miz/Rollins match was spectacular though. Wow.

[The Rick Jericho]

Don't forget, the product was SO BAD the crowd chanted for a rapist.

BAD BAD BAD!

I would actually feel robbed if this was my "Free Month" Network Subscription PPV.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Please retire, Vince/10

[Lancers]

I don't think the heel/face dynamic on RAW has even been so lopsided before. I guess when Ambrose comes back, he feuds with Roman, Seth, Braun, Balor and Lashley.

It was so bad Aleister Black, nude subscriber, decided to turn it off and put some clothes on.

I think most of the guys/girls look exhausted from all the travel recently which has some effect on match quality. Not on booking though.

Was wondering how much of a toll the traveling has taken on them. The schedule has been ridiculous AND they go to Europe in a couple weeks.

[Rudy Gobert Fadeaway]

I can't tell you, I gotta keep this resthold going for another 5 minutes

2/10. Sleepy sleepy show.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Started out as a 7 and went down to a 5 for me

Could be lower but some of the matches were decent with Miz/Seth killing it

[The Gallus Mark]

3.

1 each for Bryan's return match, Seth vs Miz, and the awesome Elias/every other entertaining character segment.

Other than that it was awful.
