Top to bottom, t2b, a real fun show. Hated that Ali lost, but I haven't watched the tv in forever, so I don't know what his actual chances were. Everything that was supposed to be good was and stuff like Corbin/Moss over delivered

Probably liked it better than night 1 of Wrestlemania. Lower ceiling, but less slog

I completely forgot this was on tonight and tuned in to see the end of Ali/Theory and then the main event. Was the rest of the show worth checking out? The women's match is the main one I'm curious about.

So that gnarly bruise Cody is sporting is legit? Working with that was a questionable choice and I'm surprised he got cleared, but that's his business. The match came off as just another WWE style hardcore match and I kinda thought the sledgehammer bits were a bit cringy. Their two previous matches were a lot better, IMO. This has to make Cody the #1 contender now, right? Providing his injury doesn't keep him on the shelf for a while that is.

Definitely worth a watch. Women's match was great, rest of the card was fun. Edge's hair by the end of the match was worth seeking out on its own

YES.  

If Cody weren't wrestling with literally one arm tied behind his back, it would've been an easy match of the night pick.

Women's title match was good stuff though it feels like Becky should have ate the pin.

The handicap match was surprisingly decent. If Lashley is moving on then hopefully he is Roman's next challenger.

Owens/Ezekiel was solid. 

Mixed tag was good. I missed Rhea's usual gear though apparently it was just late to arrive.

What I caught of Moss/Corbin was far more enjoyable than I expected due to Corbin being a dick to the crowd I only wish Moss actually paid it all off by putting Corbin through a table.

Ali/Theory was solid stuff.

Cody/Rollins was good though Cody is a dumbass for wrestling with that injury and someone should have smacked him upside his head for choosing to do so.

That said, The cell match was great, but the Raw Women's  match stole the show.

Saw the last few minutes. There’s selling and then there’s how pale he was. That crazy bastard sure gets his kicks from betting on himself. If he makes it back, people are going to be talking about this in twenty years though.

That's  not an if in Cody's case, it's definitely a when. Agree that he does love betting on himself. It's  worked out well so far.

Today is my birthday and we had over some friends and the kids across the street over for the show and some grilling. The boys, my nephew included were in and out of the show. They loved the Women's title match, but when Cody revealed that bruise? All three of these 11-12 year old boys were transfixed. They know what wrestling is. I've taken them to house shows and a RAW. This was the first time they were captivated by the idea that " Oh shit. That guy is hurt for real and is still doing this crazy shit, and WON!" They were wincing every time Cody took a shot. And by the end Cody became one of their new favs.

edit: Oh, when I explained to the kids what the polka dots were about, they started talking about how Cody is fighting through the injury because it's messed up to make fun of his Dad.
