At the Madison Square Garden show tonight they rebooked the billed card.

Cena/Nikki vs Bayley/Elias got turned into Cena/Nikki vs Sonya Deville/Elias

Bayley got added to Sasha vs Alexa match.

this was, imo, a good call. though the funny part was that Bayley's tube men failed to inflate, so she just kinda ran over and pulled them up in the air where they flopped down sadly with no air, which, if you want a visual metaphor for Bayley's career, loving maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

other than that it was a completely standard Raw house show, except with a fun opening match of Nakamura/Styles vs Owens/Sami that got turned into Nakamura vs Owens after the heels destroyed Styles before the match, and then ended in a DQ win for Nakamura when Sami interfered (before Styles came out and made a save after getting helped off by refs in the opening). It also had a Braun vs Kane vs Lesnar match that was quite fun and went for at least 4 minutes, though Lesnar had ample room to rest between suplexes. My favorite match was probably The Bar vs New Day vs Apollo & Titus vs Gallows & Anderson which was a wild tag clusterfuck that actually got decent cheers for Apollo & Titus. There was also a fantastic Elias segment where he sang with Sonya railing against NYC and John Cena, and their match against Cena and Nikki had some really good work from Sonya, imo. Mandy also looked surprisingly good at grappling against Asuka in an earlier match I had expected to be a total squash.

The main was Miztourage vs Finn, Seth, and Roman, which, man, Main Event Bo Dallas is a hell of a thing to behold. Like, I will say this about house shows: they give performers who barely ever get in front of the camera on Raw or Smackdown a lot more time to shine. It was actually pretty drat fun though, for what it was, and at least when my friend had to leave early, she didn't miss much except a spear and a pin :v:

all in all pretty loving overpriced for what it was (it is MSG, after all) but I took a few friends to it as their first live WWE show and we had a good time. it was a fun show, though not nearly as good as the Smackdown house show I saw last year on the Road to Wrestlemania. In general I would say that WWE house shows probably more skippable than ever with the roster split and current feuds, though.

also they don't hang the wrestlemania sign at house shows which is loving bullshit how the gently caress am i supposed to get invested if no one is pointing at anything
