Man I can't shake that AJ/Nak match being 2 acts of a 3 act play and then Schiavone being all "We'reouttatimeseeyouonThunder!" and them setting a 'to be continued?!' with the heel turn at the end there. Instead of getting a barn burner we got a decent match that ended abruptly for seemingly no reason. I think all that shitshow at the end would have gone down better if we had at least gotten the time on the match everyone was hoping would steal the show.

Still excited for heel Nak though. He'll have to carry it as the lone main event heel now that they're probably shuffling KO/Zayn off to RAW to be lost forever in the shuffle.

Overall really good, best since 31. But depends on a lot of things what you'll think of it, worth a watch for sure either way. Worked for me. A few controversial winners naturally.

The Roman main event, you know what you're getting, still even that is an engaging watch to me.

My girlfriend came over and we cuddled and made out through WM, so it was a very good WM on my end. She thought Paige looked awful and swooned for Finn and thought his entrance was great. She was also very excited for Ronda and was angry that WWE doesn't sell the sports bra she was wearing last night. She also wanted to know how all the women keep their fake eyelashes on since she can't manage it at all. And she thought Asuka was awesome (because Asuka is awesome).

I was a little annoyed that both Rumble winners lost but i guess thats just how it goes. They did an interesting thing having Charlotte and Asuka celebrating together to help set up Shinsuke's heel turn. That was at least interesting

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle

it really was a 5 star nutshot, even if the match was disappointing.

i'm really interested to see if roman's even gonna be there tonight. if i was vince i would have given roman a vacation after mania to get a moment to breathe and figure out what happened back there, but he's probably gonna show up, get a totally mild reaction, talk about, what, how he was able to get his rear end kicked by brock a lot more than most guys? at least last year everyone was booing him out of the building for the taker match. at least people cared. you can't have him go out there tonight, it's probably best to just forget the whole thing happened.

So did Finn Balor come out as gay or did they just spin the wheel for the guy who gets to be the face of QuILTBAG at wrestlemania?

There were rumors that Steph wanted Balor's character to be an "empowered gay" but HHH shot it down. Maybe woke Balor is the remnants repackaged.

Mustafa Ali will win the cruiserweight title in Saudi Arabia. Because WWE is run by Vince McMahon.

That’s why he didn’t win tonight.

I'm not as salty about asuka losing the streak anymore and have come to appreciate the match, but I still think it would have been better to break the streak in a title defense rather than a title chase.

I thought for sure with Carmella going out first in the battle royal she was going to appear again maybe not cash in but very strange to not even show up at any point during that match.
