Looks like I made the right choice napping when I got home from work and catching the west coast airing rather than the live airing.
I'm actually getting more engaged in the tournament matches, or at least a couple of them. Cesaro/Reigns was pretty exciting and interesting, and they made me bite on a couple of nearfalls that maybe Cesaro was going to win it. The rest were just kind of there at worst, but the likely Ambrose/Reigns final is going to have a lot of potential.
Here's to hoping they pull the trigger on something; I'm really hoping they don't just have a face vs. face respect match, Reigns wins, handshake, the end.
It's really interesting how they keep talking up Cesaro pretty huge on commentary. It's been like that the past few weeks, even if he can't buy a win.
And yeah, that ending was pretty rough. WE WANT SASHA. I do have to give them credit for at least trying to give it some emotion and verve as opposed to the usual "I BEAT YOU! I GET TITLE SHOT!" Maybe not incredibly well put together and kind of cringe-worthy, but it's something different and they gave it a chance. It has to start somewhere. I'm okay with it in the end.
