I'm hyped for the big two matches for sure. This should be a fun card. I've enjoyed most of the Raw shows from this year, and really most of the PPVs outside of the bloated major shows

I have decided this is the show that I am going to give WWE a chance on again. Reigns v Cena is a big match and should in theory be exceptional.

I have no doubt Reigns vs. Cena is going to be an excellent match even if I really don't like how they've built it. Nobody should be accusing someone of 'burying young talent' on a wrestling show.

I really really hope that Neville keeps the title but I don't have a good feeling about it.

 

I also would really hope for Braun winning the title and have a good couple month run with it but i don't think that is happening either.

 

Cena vs Reigns and the tag title match should be incredible

I really hope that we get the 2007 version of Big Match John who actually delivers instead of 2017 Big Match John who wrestles like he's in a video game.

I can't see him having indie-ish matches against a Roman Reigns. He might be able to do those spot fests against Owens or Styles but Reigns not sure

Pretty damn good promo there by Neville on the pre-show.

 

And Elias was right. That song did change my life.

The video packages hyping the big matches on tonight's show have been excellent. If I was on the fence about this show, that would have made me want to order. You have to give WWE credit, what they do well, they do really well.

Wonder what was up with randomly adding 5 minutes to the pre-show?

Were the fans just chanting "Let's Go Miz?"

I can't think of two bigger flops in recent memory than Apollo Snooze and Jason Jordan. Both are phenomenal athletes but neither have that "it factor." Maybe it's because they're Swiss? I dunno...

You've got that right. Jordan has all the tools physically, and then some...but he is the proverbial "black hole of charisma." Giving him a storyline father who does actually have a personality hasn't helped.

 

It seemed like the longer that match went, the more the fans got behind Miz and turned on Jordan. Not a terrible match though, all things considered.

 

EDIT: LOL right as we're discussing this, JR tweets that Jordan has "it."

Holy shit, Miz was over as fuck. Why does the crowd hate Jordan that much?

Jordan-Miz was a really solid opener.

Holy shit at that wretched promo by Jordan. He's hopeless!

I never thought I'd see the day when a Miz match would unironically receive "this is awesome" chants.

 

Really good opening match, but that Jordan promo was so bad I thought it was an attempt to plant the seeds for a heel turn for a second.

You know what Jason Jordan needs? Paul Heyman as his advocate.

Here's the bathroom break match. Bray Wyatt is ice cold, and Balor has been cooled off considerably (I've never been a fan of either, but I could at least understand their respective pushes when they were at their hottest).

I thought for sure he was going to turn on the crowd, seemed planned after the reaction he got. Then he cut that promo and I understood why he got booed out of the building.

The Wyatt-Balor feud is unbelievably stupid. Two ill-conceived characters, not to mention Balor already beat him clean in 10 minutes.

Know you know what Jordan needs- to be in a tag team with a really strong tag partner. You know to be the Robert Gibson to somebody else's Ricky Morton... oh wait....

A third Wyatt/Balor PPV match is not exactly a strong argument to keep me from changing channels and checking out the debut of the new Star Trek show. Here in Canada, it starts exactly at 8:30 pm EST, right as Wyatt enters the ring.

Bray is SO bad on the mic. How the hell did he ever get a reputation for being good?

The Wyatt-Balor feud is unbelievably stupid.

 

You said it. I'm still not clear on the reasons for the feud to start with. Sure, Balor is upset because Wyatt keeps attacking him, but Wyatt keeps attacking him because reasons.
