Hey all! Just got home from fastlane, so I'll do the traditional reporting of certain points.

1. They didn't announce attendance numbers to the live audience, but it was damn near sold out for the seats available. Only the sections behind the stage and the upper deck on the hard camera side were covered, but those seats were never available in the first place.
2. Specific to this show, Miz was incredibly over being from Cleveland and rocking Browns colors. Elias likewise got tons of heat for bashing the Browns, Cavs, Ohio, ect.
3. Discounting the reactions for those two:
Biggest Pops
Shield
Becky
Kofi
Randy Orton
Samoa Joe
Aliester Black

Biggest Heat
Daniel Bryan
Drew McIntyre
Mustafa Ali (they made zero announcement to the live crowd, everybody was still expecting Kofi). Ali turned them around later
The Bar
Andrade for imitating Eddie Guerro

4. Other observations:
The K.O./Bryan/Ali match suffered from no idea about where Kofi was. Ali got heat because of it, not something you want for a babyface. K.O. Was over like 40% of what he would have been if it weren't for showing the crowd when Vince said Kofi was in the match, then no follow up announcement. Crowd shit on the first 10 minutes of the match because of it, when it was a really good match.

Lashley and Corbin got really no reaction. They are dragging Drew down a lot.

Ronda had heat, but once the crowd realized what she did, there was a pretty loud "Thank you Ronda" chant.

Mandy Rose's entrance actually looks amazing without that weird blurry screen effect. I didn't expect that.

Asuka, Rusev, and Nakamura were all more over than they come across on TV after such shitty booking over the last year. Sadly the same can't be said about Bobby Roode. Him and Gable really didn't get a reaction for anything, even the entrance.

AJ got slightly booed for taking out the guy who took out Elias for about 10 seconds, long enough to be funny because of the Elias heat, then got cheered again, which was funny to me.

There was also no announcement about the Rey Andrade preshow match. I just figured It got cut for time, then BAM there was a fatal 4 way US title match, which was a nice surprise.

It was an enjoyable show from top to bottom.

Edit: Forget to mention, Shield music player for a good 10 minutes after the show ended. Kevin Dunn must have not realized it was on repeat lol
