Is there anything on the show worth checking out? Edge v Orton was a great match, even with the added in sounds and some dodgy camera angles.

Is there anything on the show worth checking out? Braun vs Miz and Morrison was good, as was Drew vs Lashley, to many the comedy segment with profits and Raiders was good and the main event was very good. Nothing on the show was “bad”

Latest word is that Edge's moment of injury wasn't televised last night. It occurred during one of the retakes WWE was filming for the pre-recorded match, possibly as Edge was receiving an RKO.
Another note, the Asuka-Jax was apparently changed by Vince yesterday to extend the feud.

So the announcing in wwe sucks (I know news to many) someone pointed out they told a story last night where Morrison was getting pretty much all the offense in on Braun, Miz was getting his butt kicked, Morrison even had the champion pinned and Miz broke it up, and the announcing never picked up on it. Then for whatever reason Morrison was the one who got pinned instead of Miz.

There was always going to be so much expectation on that main event with that tagline. Have no idea why they even decided to go down that route because if they hadn't, and they pulled THAT match off, i'm highly confident some people would be labelling it that anyway. The greatest matches for me are the ones where people just go into it and enjoy it for what it is. Brock vs Angle Ironman Match on smackdown 03 has to be up there for me. Michaels vs Cena on RAW 2007, Taker vs Michaels Mania. All great storytelling, and everyone LOVED those matches as they just enjoyed them for what they were. No labels. (Other than Michaels' Retirement MATCH but Shawn Michaels it Shawn Michaels, I guess...)
They didn't help by blasting in the "This is Awesome" chants wherever they could either, made it seem too corny as though they were trying to push it down our throats in order to really enjoy it.
It had amazing storytelling though, was a very long match; the second half was definitely the best once the pace really picked up.
Thought Edge looked like he'd never been away and I LOVED the punt kick to finish the match.
Lashley vs McIntyre was great as well and Im happy they kept the belt on McIntyre after hearing rumours they wouldn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed the main event, but during the first 15 minutes or so of it the camera angles were changing so much and were very weird angles it actually gave me a headache and made me feel really dizzy. Needless to say I do not do Carnival rides 😂. Beyond that problem, which isn't really their fault, thought it was great.
I liked the women's tag too. Can we just start doing all triple threat tag matches that way it makes way more sense.
Wasn't fond of having so much in terms of screwy endings on a ppv. Asuka/Nia then drew Lashley then not actually getting what will be an incredible tag match when it finally happens. Too many swerves on one event.

They had a week to edit and tinker with it and they overproduced it every step of the way. They really can't help themselves, huh? Credit to Orton and Edge for having a 3 3/4-4* match though. Those guys did great. Typical WWE production took it down several notches for me. Such a bummer. Shame on me for getting my hopes up.

I fell asleep during the Universal title match and I’m watching Edge/Orton now, what was with the added crowd effects?! Damn good match though.

Another thing I forgot to mention last night, I thought Joe was great on commentary. Best he's been. I have no problem with them extending the Nia/Asuka feud. But I still hate count out finishes on PPVs. Stick with the part where Nia ran her mouth about injuring Kairi, but have Asuka go berserk causing a DQ finish. Then that'd set up a rematch at Extreme Rules.

Just a nitpick, those aren't considered "swerves", but I get what you mean. I don't see the problem with a double count out. It just means that the feud isn't over. Asuka and Nia will have re-match and whatnot. It just furthers along their storyline. The same with Lashley and Drew. All this will lead to a re-match where Lana will probably align herself with Drew but then turn on him at the end to let Lashley win the belt. Now that would be a swerve. lol

Yeah wrong word lol.
I definitely understand why they did the finishes, just not great planning to have them all at the same event. Already have a typical sneak rollup in the tag three way, wacky handicap title match, then the next two singles titles get screwy endings, then the tag title match didn't even happen. Was getting exhausting waiting for a straight ending.
