Aside from Reigns overcoming the odds one too many times, the Main Event was fantastic. AJ did a phenomenal job carrying him in that match.

Why is a heel visiting a face in the hospital?

I'm pretty sure he's about to heelishly attack the injured guy while he's distracted.

Ah, like Stone Cold hitting Vince with a bedpan in the hospital. Got it.

Johnny Grunch but I thought this show was pretty average. Glad Enzo is ok, that bump was really scary, I had pause to check out how he was doing.

The only segments I enjoyed were Sami/KO and Miz/Cesaro. I'm guessing most people would prefer it just be a triple threat but I kind of like Miz getting thrown in there. He's clearly the odd one out but I think that gives him potential to do some funny heel stuff. Ryback is still lame but his "pre-show stopper" belt made me laugh. AJ was pretty awesome but Reigns gonna Reigns and leave a bad taste in my mouth. Everything else was boring.

Remember when we were joking around about them signing the BC to feed to Reigns. We were joking around. I knew AJ was never winning but once again they built up an interesting situation and used it to get Reigns a clean win. Complaining about the booking is getting really tiresome but ffs.

Enzo and Cass mentioned on the Stone Cold podcast that there's a dress code. Business casual and Tapout gear are the only allowed clothing. Cass may have only brought his suit to the arena.

That sounds like a fun podcast, going to check it out.

Surely they could also wear their own WWE merch as well?

I love how it's a new era except that all the new era guys are losers.

Corbin lost.
Styles lost.
Cesaro lost.
Zayn lost (relatively new compared to Owens).
And the only match with exclusively new era competitors - the tag tournament math - ended in a no contest!

In all seriousness though I think the product has been much much better lately.

Corbin losing was the worst reminder that 50/50 booking is alive and well.

Love Dolph, but that win did nothing for him.

For the first time in awhile, I watched a PPV not wanting to see a dirtsheet or find results beforehand.

Thoughts:
Owens is incredible. After the accident in the opener, he's part of the show for 40 minutes between match, post match interview (which I wish there were more of in general) commentary and the final melee and all was gold.

Thought Ambrose looked like he's really taken a toll on his body the last year or so.

The slingshot into the bottom rope in that match seemed in poor taste after the opener.

Ryback match was possibly the best work he's done in WWE.

AJ/Reigns was what it needed to be.
