Enjoyed the show, even if I didn't agree with some of the decisions.
Ladder match was fun, but then they always are. I actually had kind of a gut feeling Ryder might win, as he has been winning more matches lately and delivered a phenomenal promo on wwe.com. Also figured Zayn vs Owen feud could continue without the title by sami taking owens out of the match, which is what ended up happening. Anyway, super happy for Ryder. Guy totally deserves it.
AJ and Jericho had their best match yet, but something still feels a little off. I honestly think it's Jericho being older and slower these days. It looked like they were on two different speeds. And my god will anyone be able to take Styles' springboard reverse DDT without botching it? Still a really good match, and I don't mind Jericho winning. As someone else said earlier, at some point Jericho needs to get a win or else beating him doesn't mean anything.
Divas match stole the show at wrestlemania. Still feels surreal, but those are the facts. Flair's interference in the finish didn't bother me that much as it wasn't direct interference like in previous matches. Charlotte still made becky tap all on her own. I would have preferred a becky or sasha win here, but I'm okay with charlotte retaining. She's earned a long reign.
Ambrose vs Lesnar was fun, but it was really short. And I don't see the point in Lesnar winning at all. Especially since Lesnar was almost completely dominant in the build up. It does literally nothing for lesnar, when a win could have done worlds for dean. I actually think that given Dean used every weapon he could and Lesnar barely used any if at all, and then Dean got dropped by one f-5, he comes out looking weaker than when he went in. Granted, it was an f-5 on chairs but we're talking about a semi-main eventer who's whole tagline going into the event was that he was indestructible, and Lesnar couldn't keep him down no matter what he did.
New Day vs LON was just kinda there for me. Some cool spots. Like everyone else though, I couldn't care less about LON so it kind of hindered my enjoyment. Marked out for the new day entrance though. Legends kicking ass was cool.
HIAC match was a decent spotfest. Obviously, shane diving off was insane. Not much else to say about it.
Corbin winning the battle royale was cool.
HHH match was okay I guess. HHH entrance was great, but steph's monologue reeked of trying desperately to get some last minute heat. Good lord was she looking hot though. Also found it funny that the only time Reigns got a pop was when he speared steph. Guess to get reigns over he's just got to beat on some women.
So yeah, enjoyed it, but I definitely enjoyed Takeover more.
