So hey kudos to that report that Brock was learning how to take the curbstomp earlier. But let's get a round of applause for the guy who brought this info to your attention.

Honestly, I thought it was a really good show... 8/10 from me. The only things that I didn't really like, were the IC and Divas Titles changing hands AGAIN, especially the Divas belt. Atleast it wasn't Nikki walking out as the champ, that would've been downright dreadful. Best moment of the show for me was easily Ambrose's ing insane return brawl. As long as I get him and Rollins inside the Cell next month, I'll be happy.

NOC was ok in my book, not great, but not terrible either.
Usos vs. Rhodes - I honestly think someone should have taken the tag titles off of the Uso's, it had become time, although I don't think it should have been Gold/Stardust. I haven't found either Cody or Goldust entertaining since 2013. Honestly they're just treading water at this point. Not really moving forward just really stagnant.
Sheamus vs. Cesaro - Probably the best match on the card imo. Both guys pulled out some amazing moves that arent always used in their arsenal and I loved it. I really was hoping for a Cesaro win here but I can't be upset with Sheamus walking away champion after the performance he gave in that match. Match of the Night IMO.
Miz vs. Ziggler - Really disappointed by the outcome of this one. Miz is another guy whose appeal I just don't get, I havent seen Miz get a reaction from people as a heel or face since about late 2012. Its like the crowd just doesnt care, and yet they keep giving him the IC title for some reason. I was really hoping this would kick off Ziggler getting back on track, i'm kinda happy my feed cut out during the end of this match. Also keep Florida Georgia Line off of TV, there was absolutely no point to that.
Seth Rollins vs. ? - Decent enough segment with Ambrose returning, I was pretty upset with the dull reaction Ambrose returning got from the TN crowd. Especially since they had seemed into the show at the start. Rollins is certainly showing here that he has potential to be main event caliber and if theres one thing WWE is doing right at the moment, its the way they're handling Rollins being MITB.
Rusev vs. Henry - I just don't see anything in Rusev. Henry is about 10 years past his prime and as mentioned in other threads, the whoever feuds with Rusev all the sudden becomes the ultimate patriot and defends America storyline is getting sooooo old. Watching Rusev get pushed is hard to fathom. The guy can't put on good matches, his finisher hasnt been innovative since 1970, and Lana's promos have been the same snoozefest about Putin, Shut Up, and "You Americans" crap week after week. I seriously hope he faces Cena next, so Cena can "bury him" and send Rusev back to obscurity where he belongs........Lana can stay though haha.
Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho - Probably the second best match of the night behind the US Title match. Ive always like Jericho/Orton matches but something just seemed off tonight. There were certain spots like Jericho shooting a weak clothesline in the corner, where you can tell both guys were missing their spots. Still turned in a good effort but they can certainly put on better.
AJ vs. Paige vs. Nikki - I'm just confused why if you're going to have Nikki in this match, how you're not going to have Brie cost her the title? I mean certainly we're doomed to suffer through this feud, so how much more does Nikki have to do to Brie to get her to retaliate? Costs you a match at Summerslam, wishes you were never born, etc..... WTF does it take? lol. On a side note I dislike this title change month after month between the IC and Divas title, if you're gonna have the title change hands then give it to someone thats going to hold it for at least 1 more PPV.
Brock vs. Cena - Obviously this feud is never going to win MOTY but it had its intriguing spots, seeing Rollins interfere made me happy, not just because I want Cena far away from the WWE Title, but also because they're slowly involving him in the main WWE Title feuds preparing him to actually cash in MITB. I don't think a MITB winner has been this properly booked since Edge first won his in 2005. Obviously we are heading to HIAC w/Cena vs. Lesnar III, which I'm fine with as long as Brock wins in a hard fought back and forth match and the feud ends.
All in all I'm giving NOC a 6/10, wasn't a great PPV but far from bad. A dq main event ending and what I consider a few of the wrong guys winning matches hurt my overall rating for it.

So is Ambrose like the #1 face (after Cena) with Bryan and Reigns being hurt and Punk gone? Also I'm going to use by brilliant powers of deduction to deduce that we'll be getting Lesnar/Cena III as well as Rollins/Ambrose inside Hell In A Cell. I would hope that Lesnar/Cena III doesn't happen at Hell in a Cell for no reason other than that I want Ambrose/Rollins to close the show.

So hey kudos to that report that Brock was learning how to take the curbstomp earlier. But let's get a round of applause for the guy who brought this info to your attention. Yeah man after rollins came out and having read that I was sold that rollins was winning the belt. I thought it was impossible for wwe to ever make me believe rollins could beat Lesnar no matter how vulnerable he may be. But damn. Lesnar took the moves that have beaten the best wrestlers in our sport at Wrestlemania main events. And then a curbstomp which is one of the nastiest finishers ever. And I thought for sure he was dead meat. Why do I doubt you wwe? Oh yeah because you usually disappoint and don't think before booking.

If the WWE's goal was to make RAW so bad that when people watched this PPV they were like "wow!" it worked. just good sold WRESTLING from 8-(almost)11. thats all i want to see. Opener was great. Finally nice to see the tag titles around someone else. The sure joy that GoldUST and Stardust had was actually cool. Like they were truly happy to have the belts. US title match was MOTN in my opinion. Those 2 beat the holy hell out of each other. Cesaro is just so ing good. The finish was crapbecause again it just makes Sheamus look like he's the best and Cesaro loses AGAIN. But a bad finish does not a bad match make, and maybe this just continues the feud. Ziggler/Miz was surprisingly good. Those 2 actually work well...the finish was good too because it's screwing over Ziggler and going to make him want to get the title back hardcore. Rollins' promo & Ambrose's "surprise" return was amazing. Just amazing. Made me kinda glad Reigns wasn't there. Although I do hope he gets well and gets back to the ring soon. The Henry/Rusev thing was what I expected. Rusev sucks. It's just the over-booking of 'Murica and then Rusev just wins. If they put HALF the effort into the actual show that they do in making Rusev get "heel heat" we'd be back to amazing TV every week. Rusev sucks. I actually WANT him to be fed to Cena, hurry up and do it already! Orton/Jericho was about what I expected. A little better actually. 2 veterans of the business who know each other so well just going out and having a good solid wrestling match to prove who's better. Entertaining all around. Cena/Lesnar was good too. Lesnar worked his style, Cena countered with desperation...it made sense. Cena knew he couldn't beat Lesnar in a fight so he just tried to sneak in his end moves when he could to see if he would get a quick victory. Brilliant booking actually. When Rollins came out I almost blew up because I'm like shit, they are gonna have Lesnar destroy Rollins too....FML but in the end, the entire conclusion was booked PERFECT. Everyone comes out looking strong and there's plenty of directions we could go from here. Can't wait for RAW to be mediocre-bad tomorrow night. lol. But overall a great WRESTLING show.

I thought this was a good ppv. There really weren't any horrible decisions as far as winners/losers go. Many of the matches could of went either way.
Where to go from here....
In my opinion, upcoming feuds should be:
Sheamus/Rusev (US title match at HIAC) Ambrose/Rollins (HIAC match at HIAC ppv)

Decent PPV. Nothing special, but nothing too terrible either.

The main event was a let down.. I had expected more from it. Could've been better had they just let Seth cash in and win the title. Instead, they just had to do a tease and screw the fans.

What sense would that make? Lesnar is this complete unstoppable beast. Having Rollins cash in on him after he won the belt a month ago would completely derail Lesnar and give Rollins' reign even less credibility than it will have at any other time. It would make whoever does beat Lesnar seem like it's not a big deal. Rollins cashing in and winning would've ruined so many angles they're building.

Solid PPV, not a bad match on the card IMO. Glad the Dusts won but didn't like Ziggler losing the title after a month and a 3rd consecutive divas title change at a PPV is a bit stupid. Thought the whole Rollins/Cena/Lesnar situation was handled well and great to see Ambrose return.

i didn't really enjoy how the main event went, but overall it made sense to me with the direction they went. i felt cena got in too much defense, and the whole match weakened lesnar quite a bit in my eyes.

Decent show overall, nothing to hate about it other than The Miz winning the Intercontinental Championship back. I don't not like The Miz like a lot of people do here, but come on... really? Would have rather seen Cesaro win the United States Championship as well, but it was a good enough match for me not to care. The rest of the pay-per-view was alright, nothing I was that intrigued by. The WWE Championship match, unfortunately, didn't grab me that much either.

The Ambrose thing was cool, but I don't get all the logic in how they are handling it, but I get that it was sort of a last minute deal. Honestly, its sorta known that I don't like Paige, and I am kind of a Bella apologist, but at least Nikki walking out with the title would have been different. This Aj-Paige stuff is getting way tired.

I enjoyed the show overall, but thought they made Lesnar look weak in tonight.

Solid show, but I still can't understand how Seth hands over the briefcase to cash in, the referee agrees and they both start walking to the ring, but the bell never rings? WTF? Also didn't like that Rollins was able to get the curb stomp on Lesnar, I think Brock should've ended the show with an F-5 to both Rollins and Cena.
