I'll try to go over what I remember...
- Tag Match was solid, well what I saw, anyway. There was a LOT of issues from the Network on my end. They wrote off the Uso very well. Also, the finish was brilliant. I don't get why they don't do more with Cesaro.
- Battle Royal was cool. I liked Mizdow's face turn. Well played out. One thing I didn't like was Big Show winning. Way to push the youth movement, WWE.
- Who was that Lanolin Grey dude?
- Ladder match was ok, but I'm really not big on the spottiness of it. Also, the headbutt-a-thon was kind of ludicrous at the end. But the right guy won. Also, why isn't Harper higher up on the card? Seriously.
- Orton vs. Rollins was a decent match. It was much more balanced than I expected. The finish was cool, but I hated the delay between the finish and the pin. Glad to see that spry new-comer Randy Orton go over the established veteran Seth Rollins. I'll discuss this a bit more in a bit.
- Sting vs. HHH met expectations. It went on too long, was overbooked, Triple H blew up first, and he won. If anyone goes back to watch it, though. I strong recommend you do so on mute. You clearly heard Vince through all three of them. All I could think of during the entrance for Sting was "You know that Great Muta was a different guy, right?" And Triple H's entrance topped the Conan the Barbarian entrance for most ridiculous thing he ever did.
- All I could think of during the musical performance was "And the Tag Match was pushed to the pre-show because...?"
- Cena vs. Rusev met expectations as well. I loved Rusev's entrance. It was insanely awesome. But of course, Cena won. I think the only thing worse was how he won. Rusev is more or less dead at this point. Stick a fork in him, he is done.
- It's insanely rare when Stephanie gets her comeuppance. Far too rare, if you ask me. And huge props to WWE for getting someone when they are at their most relevant for a change.
- Taker vs. Wyatt was better than I thought. Taker did quite well for himself, though he looked really skinny. Of course he went over though, because we don't want to create new stars.
- The Main Event was an intense spectacle. I thought halfway through the Reigns' strategy was going to be to rope-a-dope Lesnar into wearing himself out and then take advantage. That said, Rollins' cash in was PERFECT. I wasn't as pissed about Orton going over after that. Because it sets him up until, if they play their cards right, at least Summerslam. One day Reigns will be the guy. But Rollins' moment is now.
