Cole has some stone-cold tells where he basically announces "THIS IS THE FALSE FINISH THAT DEFINITELY ISN'T WORKING!"

It's almost as if someone should suggest that he discard those tells.

Graves is even worse about this imo.

I mean what's more exciting than the exact same kickouts they do every single year, while simultaneously relying on those to anchor the match? Nothing broken about that at all.

I guess we needed a ref bump.

Alright I approve of this as the booking for the endgame of the match.

Err, well, obviously I was willing to actually fall for that fake finish if they hadn't telegraphed by the start of the count that it wasn't the finish.

By the way, hat tip to this crowd for actually being hot in all the right ways and not being obnoxious as ****. As a matter of social engineering, we should always compliment wrestling crowds that aren't completely riddled with oxygen thieves.

I can't believe they went that way with the finish.

Summerslam I guess.

I mean I've really supported carrying this title reign on forever, but this sure felt like the time to bring it to a proper close. This is the very first time that Roman retained and it felt like kind of a crappy result.

I guess it's gonna be Jey that takes the title off of him?

Anyway, not a super memorable WrestleMania but it was a good event, enough entertaining moments. Pretty much met the mark overall of what I hope for when I tune in anymore.

Roman vs Jey probably will be the end game, and I’m all for it.

Loved this.

Cody couldn't win the big one, just like his daddy.

Jey isn't even the best Uso.

I’d be absolutely stunned and somehow disgusted if this ends with Jey as the undisputed champ

I assume they want to get to 1k days and split the belts

Jey isn't winning any singles title. Cody wins at SummerSlam. Just had to get Roman past 1,000 days so tonight was very necessary.

Yeah I mean there are ways to have a Jey/Roman end to the bloodline story without strapping Jey.

He can be the one who ultimately costs Roman his belts also
