I honestly think this PPV was very solid based on the in ring work alone. I could care less about the storylines anymore.

I don't know about this year, but maybe next year. I don't think these brand split ppvs are too much. If anything they build up towards the big 4 ppvs. I like the idea of biweekly events, but they shouldn't be these all out events every time, maybe have the IC title main event one and give the world champ a PPV off. I really think it should be like when they were first doing brand exclusive pay per views back in 2003? Every month they switched off. Backlash was raw, judgement day was smackdown etc.

While I agree, will the casual fan bother watching if the World champion isn't on the show and the World Championship isn't defended?

Alright so I watched TJ Perkins' entrance... It's cool, but nothing special. And plus he takes it down every notch for dabbing. And plus that guy is so unlikeable he's so ing smug. I feel like we agree constantly.

It felt odd in 2014 when Brock was champ and took a 4 month break with the title. I think the belt needs to be defended at every ppv.

I don't really get the hate for dabbing tbh What is there not to hate? There's been much worse fads in the past few years lol

It could always be tested once and if the watch rates or whatever it is are low, then don't do it again. But I think there'd be a better chance of them watching because of the 9.99 price of the network, instead of a higher PPV price.

About 8 weeks to build programs. Not 4. Then again, this day and age I guess the fans don't have the attention span/patience to follow a story for 8+ weeks.

Hence why people are complaining about the hhh/Rollins story lol

They just seemed a little off and almost started to lose it with the few botches in the middle but the final product was still really good.

Solid show from top to bottom. Nothing bad but nothing great either. One thing I'd like to nitpick on. Guys like Rollins and Owens are capable of having a match of the year, so why don't they let these guys go all out? By the end of the year, all of the top matches of the year will have come from either NXT or CWC. I had the same thoughts about Rollins/Balor. Just let these guys go out there and kill it!

Definitely seems like they're holding a few of these guys back. KO especially has had some of the best WWE matches since his debut with Cena and Zayn. But a lot of the time it feels like he's holding back. Owens, Rollins, Balor, Zayn, pretty much everyone from NXT seems like they're holding back or being held back once they are on the main roster. The only person I haven't noticed this with is AJ Styles. Ironically one of very few guys left on the roster that didn't go through NXT.

Anyone else dig TJ Perkins' theme song and entrance? I love the atari like vibe to it. I very much dig TJP, and I think it was the right move to put the strap on him.

Good show tonight. Women's match was the best match of the night in my opinion.
