Just finished watching this. Great show.

- Kevin Owens debut was great, and I liked all his vignettes leading up to his debut over the past few weeks. Especially the one about all his friends getting called before him, which explains the chip on his shoulder and the end of the show.

- Lucha Dragons are pretty great... I think they could get over on the main roster. Sin Cara will never get over on his own (Hunico could have, but not Sin Cara), and I wonder about Kalisto.... Kalisto has all the tools, but none of the "context"/"environment" that Rey Mysterio had to establish him as such a big star.

- Women's match was real good but loses points for Rich Brennan being on commentary. As I have previously stated, he says "Charlotte" as "Cherlit" and it really annoys me.

- I liked Balor's entrance, and definitely a cool thing for special events. Not an every week thing, so I hope he doesn't do it on regular shows. Him and Hideo impressed me more tonight in the ring than they have thus far. I still really dislike the double-foot stomp maneuver, though.... it always looks sloppy and dangerous.

- Main Event was real good, even if it was obvious that Zayn was winning. Loved the story. Thought the multiple ref bumps were unnecessary, though. Should have only done the one with the belt.
