As mentioned in the WWE Network thread, I haven't been watching WWE for years and this is my first PPV since... I don't even remember what my last one was.
Happy to have a Euro-time friendly PPV though - so rare I can watch these live.
I could always do without a champ taking a pin in any spot that isn't specifically jobbing a belt away, but the overall result was good and it was a solid opener.
Perhaps spotlighting Cody during his absence points to something different than the cliched SHOCKING Rumble return for the win.
"It has been a match that has been labeled by the greatest match in the history of SummerSlam" by people who haven't rewatched it since it happened. Not even the best Bret Hart match in the history of SummerSlam.

Looking forward to seeing what Liv Morgan can do - when I last watched she was certainly nowhere near being champion material and coming back and seeing her with the title, I initially mistook her for Alexa Bliss.

I've only returned to watching recently also, but as far as I can tell, she's still nowhere near being champion material. And a lot of crowds have begun to reject her, though this Wales crowd is being supportive.
Still morbidly curious about what it will look like if/when he turns heel though.
This is like the time that I was morbidly curious for years about what Subway's seafood sensation sandwich tasted like, eventually leading me to cave and try it, confirming that it was indeed as awful as you would expect.
Why the **** did his turn include him actually helping them win?
