That promo by Paul Heyman was one of his best in recent years.
Reigns pretty much pulled a Lesnar by just doing nothing and standing there while Heyman talked. |

Heavy Machinery vs. Miz & Morrison was somewhat dull and went on for too long.
Guess Otis is feuding with Morrison next over his MitB case since Morrison just stole it. |

Starting to think WWE really doesn't know how most of the injuries they have someone blurt out for medical updates actually works.
If Big E suffered major lacerations from getting smashed through a car windshield, then shouldn't there be blood somewhere. Same for him suffering internal bleeding but medics treating him the same way like every other storyline injury. |

Almost half of the show done and not really much has happened in terms of interesting stuff.
Just Paul Heyman's promo to start the show and Sheamus' ambush of Big E backstage. |

at the cameraman missing the powerbomb on the outside spot.
Made it look like Nia just dropped to the floor because Sasha couldn't hold her weight. |

at the piped-in boos for Nia Jax breaking the submission attempt and her top rope Samoa Drop attempt.
Guess Nia and Shanya are supposed to be heels since the crowd audio was bit all over the place during that match. Women's tag title match was better than the one they had at Payback though. |

WWE finally pulled the trigger on a Sasha vs. Bayley feud after waiting way too long to do it.
Don't blame Bayley for beating up Sasha since Sasha's obsession with wanting to be a Double champ just like her lead to a bunch of losses and more headaches for her to deal with. |

at Bayley whiffing on the top rope chair stomp spot.
That was such a bad cam shot to use for the spot. |

Going from Big E to Jey Uso as a potential title challenger to Reigns is a bit of a buzzkill.
Then again at least that saves Big E from being the throwaway sacrificial lamb for Reigns' first title defense since he's not dropping that belt any time soon. |

at Otis pulling a fast one on Miz & Morison.
His MitB lunchbox is now his new MitB case while the MitB case is now his new lunchbox full of meats. |

That toss into the virtual crowd spot by Corbin was a bit lame more so because no way was Corbin going to smash those expensive screens.
Jey Uso won the match. Guess WWE really was going to put Big E in that spot before writing him off for the time being. 4-way match was pretty good though. Same for Smackdown in general this week since it was one of their better episodes in recent times. Flowed by pretty well and had very little dull or boring moments unlike most SD shows. Need to think about it a bit but currently leaning towards feeling SD was more enjoyable than NXT for this week's WWE shows. |

Let's see how it goes. Better than Reigns vs Strowman/Wyatt for the umpteenth time. |

This opening Heyman & Reigns vignette is pretty good but sort of miss the show preview run downs WWE did for a few weeks that had wrestlers talking about their upcoming matches and other stuff set for the show.
Those were way more effective in generating interest to start a show than the stale and dragged out 15 minute promo format WWE almost always does. |

That heelish promo by Reigns was good ... and now the walking dullard known as Baron Corbin decided to ruin the good mood of this opening segment.

they blacked out the chair stomp spot Bayley did to Sasha last week for the highlight replay.
WWE makes some really dumb choices at times when it comes to production and cam work like this new shitty censor style for dastardly spots. |

IC title match was decent despite the non-finish.
Was going to laugh had it been a squash since like two of the first three moves in the match were Jeff Hardy's signature and finisher before it quickly went to a commercial break. |

at WWE doing a Hardy collapse spot.
Not sure if that was meant to be a cheap dig at AEW's Matt Hardy controversy or just another dumb thing added for a Jeff Hardy storyline in recent months. |

Lucha House Party vs. Cesaro & Nakamura was pretty good despite the abrupt finish. Gran Metalik is soo good in the ring and arguably the best cruiser WWE currently has on the main roster and also the best cruiser that hasn't held the Cruiser title yet.
That's also two matches in a row that ended either via no contest or distraction and there has only been two matches so far. |

Bayley's promo was decent although WWE really needed to turn down the nob on the crowd audio since it was drowning out her promo.
Bayley also gave a pretty great reason for her attack on Sasha since she claimed both were just using each other for their own selfish means and she decided to be the one to strike since she had no use for Sasha anymore. |

at the botched crowd reaction for this women's 4-way match. Ref only counted to 1 but someone in the back didn't pause the fake crowd audio in time so they counted to two.

This women's match has been meh so far but Alexa moving one step closer to becoming Sister Abigail is interesting.
She did Bray's finisher to Nikki and even included the kiss part to Nikki's head. |

Ouch at Tamina botching the Tornado DDT spot.
That women's 4-way match was pretty bad. Whole thing fell apart after Bliss left. |
