Great show for a main roster ppv. I had a lot of fun watching it.
But what strike me is that the excitment came mostly for the Nxt roster.
I watched the show maybe with an 1h30 delay so I could choose what i really wanted to Watch. Every match that had Nxt guy, i watched from start to finish. In the pre-show, the tag team match was good. I'm ok with the Viking raider winning. They needed that Victory, and UE taking the pinfall doesn't bury them especially with the work they have done in that match and the damage they took the night before.
Womens 5v5v5 was ok if you take everything into account. When the meh Wrestler were out, the match took a better pace. the 1v1 with Ripley and Banks was enjoyable. Banks is a really good worker and Ripley is such a badass. I wasn't sure what to think of Candice and Io coming to help, but it make sense. They were never eliminated and Nxt has built that sense of team that was stronger then Raw's and Smackdown's
Strong vs Nakamura vs Aj Styles was GREAT. I loved everything. I didn't think that Strong would win this. I was very happy with the result. I think that Nakamura should not have took the pin, but hey.. one of them needed to be pin and Nakamura look so good in that match. BTW I love Samy Zain, i hope he goes back to Nxt or they really push him after that managing role.
Adam Cole vs Pete Dunne : Match of the night. Is it me or the crowd at some point seems to quiet down in that match? But when the pace went to another level, the crowd was back into it. Adam Cole will be a major star for this company. The moment they were side by side breathing after Dunne beat the 10 count was good. Nxt has almost no bullshit. Everything is done for a reason.
The fiend vs Daniel Bryan. Side note : What will they do with Miz? I would love him back as a heel, but Bryan's action are more heelish that Miz's.. I almost skip the match. It was so obvious the Fiend would win and that he would like unstoppable.. For the little I saw, the action was good.. but the fact The fiend is so unstoppable really bother me from an enjoyment perspective. Even if I love Bray/Fiend. I wasn't interested.
Men 5v5v5. Walter should not have been eliminated that easily. The crowd didn't like it either. I'm okay with the actiong. It seems everty superstar had their moment. Again, when their was less superstar the action picked up. The Shield moment was predictable but enjoyable. Ciampa was greatly built in that match and Keith Lee... what to say.. It was the right choice to be the last member of Nxt. Roman Reigns winning is okay with me, especially since he took Corbin out. I didn't want to Watch Corbin on friday talking how Reigns took him out so the lost because of it and Smackdown needed a win. Reigns is still one of the biggest superstar and he hasn't been so dominant lately. Lee pinning Rolling and looking that good vs Reigns pushed him even further. Nxt can't win them all.
Rey vs Brock : I Skipped.
Womens triple threat was.. Meh At this point, i knew that Smackdown wasn't going to win because i was sure that Nxt was winning that night. I was surprise that Shayna won but i didn't want Bayley to take the pin or tap out. Newly Heel, she need to keep the momentum going. Becky should have took the fall to make Shayna look even stronger and a threat for when she will come up the Raw which right now look like a plan. Beck vs Shayna will happen. Match was Meh. and the after match was stupid.
