I thought the opener was solid, though the Usos had much better matches throughout their reign with Harper/Rowan, and I thought the triple-threat Women's Championship match was pretty good. Everything else was whatever except for maybe the last four minutes of Sheamus/Cesaro, which saved the rest of that match. 

 

But the main event was GREAT! Plus, if you're overbooking a finish to protect both guys, that is how you do it. I genuinely had no clue what was going to happen. Plus, they came out the way Henry and Rusev should have - throwing bombs at one another immediately and trying to get a knockout early. Loved that match. I wouldn't call it perfect or anything, but man, was it entertaining.

Tag opener was pretty good, and I loved seeing Goldust be so happy for Cody again being a champ. Sheamus-Cesaro started off fine, but got great in the second-half. Much like the Takeover fatal 4 way, it got damned great then with some hot nearfalls. I'd have had Cesaro lose, but this was a fine loss for him. Dolph-Miz was murdered by the country guys. Seth-Dean was an amazing brawl. Dean is basically made as a main event-level guy. Henry-Rusev was underwhelming, while Orton-Jericho was a bunch of nothing, and the divas title three-way greatly over-delivered. The tower of doom was fantastic, and Nikki took a nasty bump on the floor. Glad AJ won, although I'm sad Paige lost. Brock-Cena was the weakest of the punch, but still really exciting. The Seth DQ was a bit lame, but exciting with the cash-in tease. Now you've got Seth and Dean intertwined with Brock and Cena in the title hunt, so things look more exciting after the match than before when it comes to the title. Other than the country guys further killing a dead IC Title match, and Jericho and Orton going through the motions, this was a really good show.

Fucking cop out booking. Vince protecting Cena from another job. That was fucking incredible until the finish. Also Cesaro/Sheamus was bad ass even though Sheamus won.

If Cena were smart, he would've helped Rollins beat Lesnar after the cash in. I guess Cena is too honest to do that or something. 

 

Let's talk about Ambrose though, looks like he totally skipped out without paying his cab fare.

That Main was extremely well laid out, with Lesnar working the subs and Cena swinging for the fences every time he got an opening, until that fucking finish.  That was so fucking shitty, Cena doesn't need the protection, dammit.  You could've done the same fucking thing without the DQ and had Ambrose break up the cash in.  Shit.

 

Tag title match was fun.  US TItle match was fun.  Fuck the Miz.  Everything else was eh.

Good show. Main was great, but you know...bit of a cop-out finish...

 

Divas match was good. Nikki is pretty hossy in there. Pretty interesting places they can go with the booking. Can we get posts of people apologizing for bitching about how they just knew Cena was getting the belt back?

The ending was fine.  They extend out to the decisive match in HitC, where no one can interfere.  Brock gets a completely desperate Cena in the cell.  Cena takes his best shot and will come up short. (Hopefully providing some depth to the character as he has to actually deal with this... (lol no))

 

Anyway, the rest was pretty good.  And hell, AJ & Paige are miracle workers... they got a good match out of Nikki!   Good for them.

To be fair, the downside of that match layout makes it pretty obivious that Cena conquers all at HitC.

I think Nikki is just pretty good at this point. She was working pretty tight in there. Plus, every time I see her wrestle on Main Event or Superstars, she looks solid.

from what I saw of the main event, essentially the section with Cena in control was still handled like Cena was trying to finish off the Terminator.

 

Also, if we're talking Cena ways to get back at Rollins, shouldn't he try to just run in after the match begins to instigate another DQ?

Or just sit back and watch the match start and laugh as Brock immediately picks up Seth and snaps him in half while Seth screams "BUT I'M THE SMART ONE!!!!!  WHY IS THIS HAPPENING???  AND WHY IS NO ONE BUT ME SURPRISED?????"

Can you really do another Cena vs. Brock match without involved Rollins? Rollins now involved with Ambrose AND Cena. It almost looks like a 4-way: Cena vs. Lesnar vs. Ambrose vs. Rollins is in the cards, but that seems kinda goofy too. I don't know.

Posted

Why would you cash in in such a way that even if you won, you're first defense would be a rematch against The Mountain?

 

Because Vince doesn't want Cena to lose again. I mean there's no other explanation that makes any logical sense. So let's just have Seth look like an idiot and head towards Hell in a Cell.

This is the first time Rusev had felt over pushed to me. Squashing out Mark Henry after that build? fuck that Rusev also looked a little cartoony for me with some of his expressions.

 

So much great talent and no one to book it except a 70 year old out of touch old man.

Whatever plans they had for Reigns, the reaction Ambrose got tonight should make it pretty clear who to plug into that spot now. Dude could honestly be their next Austin (in terms of character, if not crossover appeal).
