This PPV was actually better than I expected, each match until the main event was given ample time to play out and they all delivered, even though the eye-for-an-eye stipulation in Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio was reminiscent of the Attitude Era at its most indulgent, the finish to the otherwise probably best match of the night Asuka vs. Sasha Banks was messy and the ending to the strong Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler was silly. As for the main event....these "cinematic" matches that WWE came up with in the COVID era were a novelty at first, but now they are growing tiresome. Also the noise of the designated "fans" is arguably more of a distraction than an asset; I prefer the quiet approach of Impact! on the matter. 7/10 on the whole.

The Horror Show !

Warning: Spoilers
I didnt see the kickoff show thats why not gonna say anything about it.
The Smackdown Tag Team titles was a good opener to the show. I dont remember the last time i saw a tables match. The match was really enjoyable. I wish Cesaro and Nakamura always looked this good. Congratulations to them for winning the tag titles. I really didnt think they were gonna win.
Smackdown Women's title was also a good one. Nikki Cross needed to lose. I think she will become crazy soon. The losses are the buildups. I did want Bayley to retain but I wanted her to win clean. She's champion for almost 300 days now. I mean it makes her look so weak.
The eye for an eye wasnt a bad one. It was fast paced action for the start. The stipulation was bit let down for them. They could have had a better match otherwise. Still it wasnt bad. I wanted Rey Mysterio to win but deep down I knew Seth was gonna win.
I was gonna say the RAW Womes's championship match was the match of the night but i didnt because of the ending. What the hell was that !? The match was awesome but the ending ruined it. Both Sasha Banks and Asuka are great but the ending sucked. Thank god Sasha is not the champion. I guess it counted as a no contest because Sasha winning wouldnt make any sense.
The WWE title match was awesome. I was not a big fan of Dolph Ziggler being the number one contender still the match was awesome. Dolph Ziggler fully utilized his oppourturnity to pick the stipulation. I was shocked in a good way. As for Drew McIntyre, he is the best world champion at the moment. He hasnt had any bad match since winning the title. This was the match of the night.
The Swamp Fight wasnt bad. I didnt hate it. People have different opinions about it. If there is one thing WWE does well its the cinematic matches. We saw so many clips of the past. Would have loved to see Erick Rowan there. Alexa Bliss was the Sister Abigail there i think. Good to see Fiend at the end of the show. I guess The Fiend will now challenge Braun for the title and i cant wait to see The Fiend retain the title. Thank you for reading.
