I thought the end was a little abrupt (a lot of the finishes felt "off" all night) but I loved it. So happy for Kofi. Totally a dream scenario I never thought would happen. It's weird when you're a huge fan of a midcard guy and think "it would be cool if they became champ but it'll never happen" but then it actually happens!

amazing...here is to hoping they do one of those championship lineage photoshoots with Kofi holding the Winged Eagle belt now....The man deserves everything he has gotten and is always so humble

MOTN easily, had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Props to DB looking like a beast that could tap Kofi any moment.
Really happy about WWE going three out of three with Kofi, Becky and Seth.

I'm glad Kofi won. Just a shame it was a mid card match because heaven forbid that Trips should go before this !!! To me that just says what Vince really thinks 🤷♂️ With the crowd as dead as it was for his match, he probably wishes he had gone before this. And that is just fine with me.

When they cut to the other wrestlers in back, was that Nikki Cross standing right there in front clapping politely?
It's a minor thing, but it really distracted me. Did she just take her meds for this one occasion, or something?

Question :
Has Kofi ever busted out that Inverted Suplex before?
Because, if not, that should become a permanent part of his moveset now. Not a lot of people do it.

Ugh. I just started crying thinking about it again. I know how much it meant to me, but I can’t imagine what it meant to Kofi and all the African-American wrestlers and fans out there. Just so much joy and pride in that win.

Brilliant moment perfectly done. So pleased for Kofi.
Bryan for me though is one of the greatest there has ever been after this. His heel turn has been flawless and when you consider how beloved he was as a baby-face, to go from that to this is some outstanding character work. Thank you DB.

Keep watching it back on the network. TROUBLE IN PARADISE! COVER HIM! KOFI DID IT! Still kinda surreal.

It was everything the main event should have been. That SHOULD have been the main event! Yeah, I will riot if Meltzer doesn’t give it 5 stars. That was just a great performance from both of those guys. He gave it 4 1/2 stars, 3rd best of the weekend that he saw (behind Gargano/Cole from NXT Takeover and White/Okada from ROH/New Japan MSG)

The best part for me was it was one trouble in paradise. I'm so tired of spam finishers, it was refreshing to have it end when it did and how it did.

I just can't agree with Cole vs. Gargano being better than Kofi vs. Bryan, but hey, Dave has his tastes and I have mine.
