As someone who's been critical of WWE recently, tonight was a very fun show. Watched with my brother and felt like the clock was turned back to 2000 when every one of these monthly shows was a huge deal. Exciting stuff!

What a weird match. This felt like something a kid would do with his action figures: bat crap insane with no real reasoning behind a lot of it, but still pretty fun. Absolutely 100% true. If Batman and Optimus Prime had shown up, I would not have been shocked. I would have been really glad Roman wasn't there and have to see them job to him.

Watching RAW talk and hearing AJ say him and Finn were able to have a match like that with NO build up makes me excited to think just how good their next match would be with an actual storyline š©

I should know better, but I don't think there's going to be too many fans upset with this show. WWE delivered.
And I guarantee nobody there is asking for a refund.

WWE did a fantastic job with this show under the circumstances that they were dealt with and they definitely should be commended for that. They gave us a classic in AJ/Finn and the main event was a fun spectacle. So Kudos to WWE for tonight. That being said, if WWE delivered in the way that they delivered tonight every night, I doubt there would be as many complaints about the WWE product.

considering all the crap that happened, that was a decent PPV but really a 2-match show anyway. AJ/Finn was amazing and worth watching any time

Let's put it this way, That main event was like the best worst thing ever. A lot of botches, head-scratching spots, cluster sequences. But I was entertained. Props to WWE for trying to put on a freaking show.

PPV was fun to watch, I liked TLC more than Hell in a Cell. I wished Kurt Angle came out in his singlet and entrance, but I'm sure this isn't the last time we'll see him wrestle.

Really enjoyed the show. Main event was mental, AJās the best in the world, rest was decent bar the JJ match which felt flat

Great in-ring performer but a charisma vacuum. If it wasnāt for the āDemonā heād be another bland, characterless performer like most of the guys in the CW Division. I was hoping AJ would win but knew Balor was favored due to being on āhome turf.ā

The main event was a mixed bag. Tons of botches and no selling but at the same time it reminded me of the amazing brawls we use to see during the Attitude Era. Considering the match had a HUGE wrench thrown into it only 48 hours ago Iāll say it was a fun time.
Biggest let down though was Angle not coming out in his gear and to his theme. I get they wanted to continue with the āShieldā reunion, and likely want to wait on a full return of the Kurt character until WM, but it was still a letdown seeing him cosplay as a member of The Shield.

The main event was probably the biggest cluster I have seen in years. Didn't like it and felt it was way too long. Smartest thing they did was save Angle's intro and gear for his own match, just to keep that special.

Had to watch on my craptastic phone tonight,so i couldn't share my thoughts here as the action unfolded. However, i have to say i enjoyed the show as a whole. The crowd being on point most of the night helped too, so kudos to the Target center fans. I'm not sure i would have been half as kind to that main event if thats how it was originally supposed to go with Roman. Angle,however, made it for me. So good call having him inserted, even better call saving his real comeback match for later. AJ vs Finn went down the way i figured. I knew once they said Balor would still be doing the Demon schtick (for no logical reason in this match). It does serve 2 purposes though. 1. They've made it a point to mention the Demon has never been beaten. 2. The rematch can be "Demonless" ,and AJ gets his win back...Demon Balor still protected. Bottom line is i did enjoy myself for a longer duration for TLC than i did HIAC. So, solid action, nothing offensive, no confounding booking decisions, decent nostalgia pop. No complaints. Even that over booked cluster of a TLC match had a certain element of AE nostalgia to it. Just a big casserole of Russoesque nonsense, but it gets a pass tonight. I hope everyone enjoyed their night.
