Given the current situation, this was a good show.
-Tables match was a solid opener with a memorable finish.
-Bayley/Nikki was a good match.
-MVP segment was short and fine.
-Seth/Rey was very good. Chicken shit to chicken salad.
-Sasha/Asuka was also very good. The finish was a mess, but I want to think that was by design to have a layup rematch for Summerslam, which sounds good to me.
-Drew/Dolph told a solid story. It’s not easy to create sympathy for a 6’4” 250 lb dude when he’s facing a guy that he towers over. This was good stuff.
-Swamp fight was cheese but Wyatt‘a character(s) has no boundaries, so I was open minded to whatever whackiness the WWE had planned. Hoping the Fiend takes the title.
I appreciate that this show was focused. What I mean by that is the WWE had a plan to elevate a handful of people tonight, and I thought it was effective. Bayley, Sasha, Wyatt, Drew, and Seth all came out better than how they entered the night. Meanwhile they protected other stars such as Asuka and Braun.
This wasn’t a must-see by any stretch, but for a night of wrestling with a few beers, it was definitely fun.
