Tag team match was best of the night I think. Both those teams are so good and Cesaro's performance after losing his teeth was insane. Do agree with thread that Dean kicking out of that powerbomb spot was lol, but I'm kind of numb to that at this point.
I liked the women's match and thought every wrestler looked good in it. I've never been a big fan, but I thought Nia had her best match by a lot and the crowd seemed to agree.
Cena/Reigns was the finisher fest I expected it to be with two guys who just spam three moves every match. The mega push of Reigns is still just too absurd for me, even though he's improved immensely from the initial babyface push. Cena legit retiring seems unlikely and I imagine it's so Reigns can run his mouth about retiring him and Undertaker (which leads to something I assume).
Lesnar/Strowman wasn't bad, but didn't live up to the build obv. Definitely thought it would be more of a fast-paced car crash but it ended up being pretty methodical and short. Given how hot Strowman is (was?) I felt like it should have been less definitive to set up a rematch, but Vince seems deadset on Reigns/Lesnar the way this PPV went.
I watched Raw Talk specifically for Cena because the end of that match had a retirement/moving into on from NXT feel to it. Cena said nothing of retiring, and actually spoke about wrestling in the future, so I just chalked that moment up to being out of sync like pretty much the entire PPV
