Stop giving the refs weighty dialog to deliver

Roman is the face for adhering to the rules

The best moments are Roman just casually reacting to his surroundings, going "Might as well close this" and "I am looking at him" made me lol

In an alternate universe this match would have been 1/3rd as long and you could look forward to a build where the Usos are Roman's disgruntled muscle until Wrestlemania, when they turn to support their old tag rival Big E

Instead, this

After doing a little further investigation, I think you guys are actually in the minority on this one. Most people seemed to love it.

Passionate WWE fans have low standards for storytelling/acting/match quality, that's not surprising

I think the broad strokes of the story were solid but it was a bloated match with a ton of overwrought dialog that was almost beat-for-beat identical to a PPV match a month ago. Jey and Roman did their best but making this kind of melodrama work for 45 minutes is almost impossible, especially when the winner is a foregone conclusion.

Love to have commentary make fat jokes about a fan favorite wrestler with the right to a championship shot. Great way to build up characters

If I ran a company I would probably prefer for my corporate social media accounts to avoid shining a light on our miserable one-note storytelling (also they didn't even include Fire & Desire lol)

Lol at Bayley going "Get her back!" and the ref going "Uh...I can't?"

Very cool dramatic shot of Ali after one guy kicked his entire stable's rear end, can't wait to see where this goes from here

Look, I thought it was lame as gently caress, but I understand how people enjoyed the Roman-Jey match. This is just...nothing. I don't know why they would have this main event

So the two paths from here are:

1. Randy vs. Drew again
2. Drew doesn't get another title shot despite kicking Randy's rear end for several months and beating him at two other PPVs

I'm gonna go ahead and call another miserable Fiend title build
