Cody vs. AJ:
These two just have amazing chemistry, and put on yet another fantastic match.
I thought with Cody's mom there AJ might do something despicable to win, but nope. Great way to open the show.
Women's Tag Team Titles:
Legitimately shocked Bianca and Jade lost so soon. I'm not against Alba and Isla winning, but would never have picked them to win going into it.
Cargill "tapping" was awkward, but good on the commentary table for not ignoring it.
The match was fine, but nothing more.
IC Title:
Thought Gable had this one, but maybe he's not renewing after all. Or he re-signs and snaps completely.
Sami as IC champ is ice cold to me, but I know I'm in the minority there. Good match, and Maxxine's acting is still on point.
Also, this is how you do announcers bickering during a match.
Bayley vs. Piper:
Niven is so meh she got like zero pop for her entrance. Eventually the crowd warmed up, and were booing Bayley, but man...
Fundamentally sound, but honestly I was bored.
The black hole slam on the outside getting a "into the Abyss" line was my favorite bit.
Glad Bayley didn't do the roseplant, still the worst finisher in WWE.
Priest vs. Drew:
ughhhhhhhhhhhh...
As someone who can't stand to hear or see CM Punk, it was annoying.
Props to Damien for working through what I assume was a legit injury (I haven't been on here all day to avoid spoilers).
Great match til the end, but I've said it before, and I'll say it again the day CM Punk is no longer on my screen will be a glorious one.
Overall I'll go with 7/10
1 great match in the opener, 1 decent main event til the end, and this was a good crowd that was still chanting stuff, but they weren't doing it JUST to do it.
They took breaks, let the wrestlers perform for them, and respected the show. France could take notes. This is how you balance it.
