Was it ever explained why WWE does the really odd habit of having champs coming out first for title matches almost all the time?
Nobody else in wrestling and combat sports does that or as often as WWE does. |

Bet a lot of people backstage were wincing in fear from those swings Nia did to Sasha on the turnbuckle pad.

at the ref not calling a DQ after Shayna nailed Nia in the ring albeit by accident.
That match was weird. Pretty much was almost all Nia beating the crap out of Sasha and Sasha needing shenanigans just to be able to win. Nothing about that match made Sasha look good nor Bianca Belair who showed up for support at ringside. Even managed to not make Shayna look good either. |

Did Rollins accidentally spill clothes detergent or ink on his suit since that white suit with blueish colors on the cuffs and bottom makes it look like that happened.
Don't think I've ever seen a white suit look like that before. |

Street Profits vs. Dominik & Rey Mysterio was pretty good.
Maybe the best Dominik has looked in the ring in a while. |

The pre-match hype video was true after all since that Corbin vs. Zayn match sucked a lot.

That Big E & Apollo Crews segment was great.
Big E channeling his inner GTA playing days with trying to run over Crews with a golf cart. Their match and Bryan vs. Reigns are the only matches I'm actually interested in seeing at Fastlane. Drew vs. Sheamus would have been another but WWE made that match completely meaningless once they announced Drew vs. Lashley for Mania and Sheamus not caring at all afterwards nor wanting Drew to put his title shot on the line. |

at Bianca vs. Baszler ending via DQ because of Tamina & Natty.
SD's women's division somehow managed to become way less interesting after the Rumble despite having what should have been the best main roster women's storyline on paper going into Mania. |

Edge vs. Jey Uso was pretty good.
This week's show was average at best but also one of SD's weaker shows in a while. Was still way better as a go-home show than RAW was. The Big E & Apollo Crews segment and the comical hype video for Sami vs. Corbin were the best stuff on tonight's show. Everything else ranged from okay to awful. Fastlane still feels like a completely unnecessary show after this week's go-home shows. |

Not sure if Bryan is making fun of WWE's shitty Mania match booking for RAW or their booking in general for Mania this year with that dig about how a bunch of people are getting handed dream matches and title matches without having to do anything to earn it.
Like that's pretty much how the RAW Women's title and RAW Tag title matches were made on the RAW side for Mania. They even did it twice with the RAW Women's title since Charlotte claimed a title match first and then Rhea did the same weeks later. |

They’re putting Sami and KO back together. Face KO and heel Sami will never work.
BUT if they were to put KO and Sami back together. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

Opening segment was very good but neither Edge nor Bryan came off looking like the good guy from it in the end.

Rollins vs. Nakamura was pretty good and maybe even better than the match they had at Fastlane.

at Cesaro swinging Rollins backstage.
All those people screaming and the echo it created was annoying as hell though. |

Apollo Crews' new spear looks a bit goofy compared to the one he had before.

Yikes at Dawkins landing right on his head from that clothesline & German suplex counter by Alpha Academy.
6-man tag match was pretty good overall. |

Otis is literally the best natural babyface of this new group and instead of pushing him as a lovable goof, they make him a boring generic heel.
Fuck this company in perpetuity |

Kevin Owens complaining that Sami hurt him.
There’s literally a decade of evidence of KO hurting Sami. This fucking company I hope Vince gets cancer |

at Sami (and WWE) inviting Logan Paul for next week's show.
WWE really has become a magnet for bad publicity these days with all the PR blunders they keep committing. |

How many matches is that now for Mania's card where it was mostly just someone challenging someone else to a match with little to no build done beforehand or wasn't rushed?

Sasha's new heel persona is pretty much Bayley's heel gimmick but if it was more annoying. Even her laugh is like a more annoying version of Rollins Waluigi laugh from back in the day.
She's even doing the same shtick of mocking Cole like Bayley does. |

Poor Rey, got killed off again in WWE I think. Ziggy just hit a Nash style powerbomb on him over the ringside barrier.
That's like what, 3 times this past year? Nevermind, Rey lives again. |

Cole sounds like he's bored of this Ziggy vs. Rey match.
Just makes what JBL said in a recent interview about Cole being the best ever commentator in wrestling and/or WWE history even more laughable. |

All those words by Pearce just to say the Universal title match at Mania is now changed to a Triple Threat match for the belt.
The show closing brawl between Edge, Bryan, & Reigns was really good. Wasn't really feeling SD that much this week. Show itself was somewhere between meh and average overall. Take away all the Universal title related stuff from this week's show and it was somewhat boring which is bad for a Road to Mania show this close to Mania itself. |
