Mostly a good show but holy f*** no story is ever going to progress in this company. I'll go with an 8 since I had a good time but there's a part of me wanting to give it like a 2.

6.
Some of the matches felt like it didn't click into high gear.

Very good triple threat, strong main event, women's War Games was okay I guess, AJ/Finn was nothing, and Shotzi/Ronda was awful. So probably a 6 based on the last two matches delivering.

Matches were fine outside the Rousey match but it feels like the wrong winners happened in EVERY MATCH.
I can at least take the men's WarGames mistake because Sami being loyal yet seeming somewhat conflicted adds a new element but while I am not gonna consider Damage CTRL RUINED FOREVER that team dearly needed the win tonight but nope, LOLBIANCAWINS and LOLBECKYWINS.

I was hype for it all week, and...eh. I feel like I could take a 5 year break from this shit and it'd still be Bloodline winning everything. They've got themselves stuck in a holding pattern that's hard to break out of by making the heels who desperately need to f***ing lose anything the most over people in the company.
Positives: Seth is the f***ing man, BEYBLADE (I think that's a positive?), camera work was good tonight I felt, it's good that War Games gets this big stage finally, the only really bad match was Ronda/Shotzi

I gave it an 8. Both Wargames were entertaining enough and the triple threat was a lot of fun.

An 8/10:
The Women’s Match was fun. Lots of cool spots. I really feel like Damage CTRL needs to disband now. It’s run it’s course.
AJ vs. Finn was very good. And AJ got a MUCH needed PPV win.
Ronda vs. Shotzi was BAD. As someone who liked Ronda’s first WWE run, she’s just so boring these days. Her reign is going to be a SLOG to get through. The SD Women DESPERATELY needs a refresh.
The US Title match was great. Rollins is a genius when it comes to triple threat matches. And the finish was clever as well.
The ME was great. As for the ending, I think it worked for this match. However, It was a finish that worked for thus match.
But Roman and co have to suffer an actual setback at some point. Constantly going “Roman is saved ag the last second by someone else” has been done A LOT at this point.

7.5-ish
Enjoyed the women's War Games match well enough.
Wasn't really paying attention to AJ vs. Finn.
Shotzi vs. Ronda was terrible. *sigh*
Triple threat was really good. I guess Seth's going to SD now.
Men's War Games was great.

I'd say 7. Triple Threat was a lot of fun. AJ/Finn was solid but not that memorable. Ronda/Shotzi was trash. The War Games matches were cool but it just didn't hit with me the way NXT's often did or Blood & Guts does (although they've become pretty different matches at this point). The Sami stuff at the end was great though. That's really the only storyline I feel invested in right now. So solid show with a memorable moment and some good stuff but nothing truly fantastic.
I will say, I think they need to rethink War Games for the future. Hunter should watch some old ones. It can be a MOTY contender when done right.

Like, an 8. But a lot of it rides on the war game matches, which I thought delivered. Finn and AJ developed nicely, as did the US title match. The womens title match certainly happened but the War Game matches were dope.

8/10
For most part a pretty enjoyable PPV.
The War Game matches were great as well as the Triple Threat.
I actually nodded off during the Womens title match though sounds like I didn't miss much there.
Either way I'm interested to see where this Sami in the bloodline arc goes from here.

7/10, enjoyed both WarGames matches.
I didn't watch AJ/Finn as it didn't interest me.
Shotzi/Rousey was dreadful.
I loved the 3-way U.S title match as I had Seth retaining, especially after that sweet super curb stomp.

I said before the show that of the 5 matches I was looking forward to 4 with one that I had no interest in. And well those 4 matches delivered and the one I thought would suck did but Ronda/Shotzi was somehow even worse than I was expecting.
Very good show overall though and the Sami story is just great. 8/10.

7 or so.
The ladies war games was a sloppy spotfest but it was decent enough. AJ/Finn was about what you’d expect from those guys in 2022 ie good but not a 5 star match, the Ronda/Shotzi match should never have happened-that match was truly bad, US title match was fun, and the men’s war games told a great story.

I had zero expectations. I went in with an open mind. (You can feel the draft from here, hey!)
Women's match was best, even though I don't like pinfalls in grudge fights.
I liked the US Title 3-way, even though it seems like these are the only contenders for this belt. That guy in the crowd lies, he's NOT "Theory's only fan".
The rest you can have. I gave it a 5 based on two matches.

Going with 9. Would've went 10 but I gotta subtract a point for how awful Ronda vs Shotzi was. Everything else was great.
