Back to my hotel room from the stadium. My thoughts:
By sheer coincidence, I was sitting next to a nice gay couple from the UK. We were chatting all throughout the show and for a while afterwards. I made some new friends.
The crowd was overall great. Afterlife messaged me during the PPV, asking if the crowd had gotten dead. Maybe WWE was being overly aggressive in editing crowd reactions?
Neville/Aries was a great opener. Good way to get the crowd warmed up. Well, we were already dying in the heat. Different kind of warmed up.
The ARMBAR was good. No idea who that football guy was. I'm guessing one of Mojo's former teammates? Sami getting eliminated sucked, but it was nice, for once, to see the crowd's last chance pick to actually win.
Ambrose/Corbin... we kinda just didn't care much about this match. I wanted to care. I like Ambrose. I've liked Corbin recently. But this feud has just been nothing to me.
AJ/Shane was way better than I expected. Shane's offense looked significantly improved over last year.
Jericho/Owens was good, but I expected it to be. It didn't exceed my expectations. Jericho's entrance was cool.
Raw Women's Championship match was pretty good. Nice to see the
Shield Horsewomen triple powerbomb. Kinda weird that everyone except Nia Jax got fireworks.
Holy shit the Hardys are back. That was amazing.
The mixed tag match seemed weirdly-paced. Miz got a ton of offense in, and then Cena & Nikki just win.
Rollins/Triple H was kinda meh. There should have been a good story here, but instead it was some crap like "you betrayed my by getting injured".
Wyatt/Orton bothered me. Like, Wyatt debuted the ability to manifest the form of Sister Abigail in the ring. And he still lost. What?
I expected to dislike Goldberg/Lesnar, but I didn't. Ending the suplex count at 10 was a nice touch for the crowd. Glad to see Goldberg lose the title.
Smackdown Women's Championship match was also good. The crowd wasn't too hot for it, since we were all waiting for the main event. The women still put on a good match, even though they didn't have a lot of time.
Undertaker/Reigns was kinda insane. The crowd booed literally every bit of Roman's offense. Even though Taker losing is a bug downer, I think it's probably good in the long run. Undertaker really needs to retire (and it seems he has). His legacy has been cemented for a long time. A Reigns victory gives the crowd even more to boo him for. Is he officially a heel yet?
