This was such a HHH show. Vince would’ve never had guys like Savio and Carlito show up to this event, let alone come out of it looking like mega heroes saving the roster’s babyfaces. It was a great show all around. Bingo. The pops for those two were amazing and great to see for those guys

9.5
Goddam this was a fun show.
There'd be moments I'd be into it, listening to the crowd, and realize I had the biggest dumb grin on my face. Like I was legit happy to be watching a WWE PPV. That's the energy this one gave off.
Iyo was treated like the megastar she is. I'm so happy she got that kind of response at least once in WWE.
Wrong main event, and Bianca being Bianca took it down a bit, but holy shit was this one a blast. Easily best WWE event I've watched in AGES.
Y'all need to put Puerto Rico in your regular yearly rotation somewhere. Guaranteed one hot ass crowd every time you play it right.
This one felt special. This is why I became a fan decades ago. This is what I've missed from WWE.

Didn't watch but looks like there were no title changes and The Bloodline won so I regret nothing.
But, holy shit, am I glad/shocked Cody won.

Man, I guess I may end my WWE exile to watch this show! For a WWE show to get this response from FAN, it must have been good!

How is Bad Bunny this good, already?
Has a celebrity ever picked this up as quickly as he has? Kaufman and Mcafee are the only guys I can say are comparable.

I'd argue McAfee is a very distant third. Yeah, he's passable, and that's not an insult, but Bad Bunny, and Logan Paul are just GOOD at this. Which is crazy to think about. Logan Paul is a YT dbag, and Bad Bunny is a f***ing musician, and both come in like it was their destiny to be in professional wrestling.

Also can we get some love for the people in the crowd singing along to the songs? Like the dude singing along to Cody's entrance like his f***ing life was on the line if he didn't give a goddam Celine Dion performance. Just epic. I adore this crowd.

Mayweather was great, but Pat and Mayweather might be cheating since they're athletes. As for how he's this good, a big reason is that he's f***ing loved wrestling his whole life. There was an interview with Savio on the Bump awhile back, where Savio mentions that the wrestlers pretty much all knew Bunny before he hit it big, because he was always at the shows. He'd volunteer to help put up the ring. He loves wrestling and put in the work, dude bought a house so he could train at the PC before the tag match.

Fun fun show. 9/10
The crowd and the celebration of Puerto Ricans was the mvp. Just fun stuff.
Only complaint is that Bunny should have gone last and it ended on that celebration

Honestly like a 7 or 8/10 show that the crowd boosted to a 9
Like I don't even give a s*** about Bad Bunny and I was super hyped for that match just because the crowd was so wild. Awesome show!

I’d give it an 8. Bad Bunny’s still proving himself to be the greatest celebrity wrestler in company history, and as pro-Iyo as that crowd was both superstars were damned good in that, Bianca’s top rope powerbomb is nice. The main event was good, but it felt rushed. Cody and Brock have good chemistry but I got the vibe something went a bit too long and they were told to just take it home.

Io vs Bianca was great up until the “Bianca wins lol” finish. Rollins vs Omos was better than it had any right to be. I skipped the US Title triple threat. Rhea vs Zelina wasn’t much as a match but the reaction Zelina got was a great feel-good moment. Bunny vs Priest was insane and perfect, with an absolutely nuclear crowd that I’ll remember for a long, long while. Zoned out during the six-man tag because I don’t care about any of those guys. Cody vs Brock was good, but even though I’m glad Cody went over, I hate that it was off an abrupt, flukey pin. It also had no business main eventing over Bunny vs Priest.
Was a fun show overall. 8/10

9/10
This was an outstanding show from start to finish. Seth vs. Omos was even entertaining.
I loved the Bianca-Iyo match. I'm a huge Bianca fan, as are my wife and son, so I'm glad she won. Iyo looked like a huge star, for maybe the first time on the main roster, and it seems like seeds were planted for her to separate from Damage Control.
Bunny vs. Priest was incredible and might be my favorite match this year. I agree with the sentiment that it's just crazy how good Bad Bunny is at wrestling. I popped hard from the couch Carlito arrived. I'm certain it won't, but it would be great if this led to a WWE return for him.
6-man was good. I like the continued Bloodline story and am looking forward to the eventual (hopefully) climax of Jey Uso taking down Roman Reigns. It's amazing to think that this match featured four main event caliber guys who arrived at that level in large part simply for being in Roman's orbit.
Cody vs. Brock was great. Cody is my son's favorite (first favorite) wrestler and it was good to see him beat the odds and get the win. The surprising nature of the finish gave me the second couch-pop of the night.
The triple threat was the only thing that kept this show from being a 10.
