Rollins opening promo and even Reigns were fine; commantary was horrible.
All matches except the main event & DB vs LH were crap time fillers.
Steph cut the best promo tonight, Cena blabbered incoherently.
Axel was solid, love the Ryback "axe man" nickname.
AJ returns... Ok.
DZ steals the focus from IC belt to hint towards match with Bryan. Yes please.
Divas have 2 solid matches with no reaction, won't blame them crowd was hot garbage
HHH cuts long boring promo
Medusa in HOF. Cool
Heyman cuts loooooong boring promo
Main event was solid, reigns looked good *[see below]
Smoz is smoz
Nice dive.

2/10 for lack of the Big Guy.
Ryback > Reigns
If your Hungry make some Noise!

*didnt like the roll-up powerbomb spot because it's Hunico's and I bet WWE will ask him not to use it anymore cause it's a Reigns move now. Sin Cara < Hunico

The Divas match was crap and also solid?

It got no reaction, the mechanical aspect were fine.

The crowd was more into itself than the show.
Unusual for Jersey, actually.

Yeah most northeastern crowds are good, that crowd was just horrible.

So am I the only person who didn't really care AJ returned? Nothing against her but AJ vs Paige or AJ vs Nikki just don't really get me pumped.

We saw both matches and neither particularly work well.

Aside from her being so hot, i agree.
The division, for what it is, is stale.

I think Emma needs to get pushed hard to freshen it up.

Ic both Paige & AJ are the exact same, the Bellas' are pair bound and effectively the same characters they have been since returning.

We need a new archetype pushed outside smiling face, bitchy heel, rebel tweener.

Flair!!!

Banks is probably coming up first.

I am very skeptical with the Divas division. Vince told us in his tweet, "To keep watching" but I suspect the Divas matches will once again fizzle with one minute matches in the long run. I personally think all the Divas should just stay on NXT. Being part of the main roster, is killing them.

I am sure everyone is aware Brock Lesnar stormed out of WWE after a heated argument with Vince. One source said it was from Roman Reigns failing a drug test. Others stated it was due to his contract. Which has me guessing if Brock will even show up for up for Mania.

Oh man if he no-showed Mania that'd be crazy

I want to not believe the drug test stuff, but I also don't believe that Lesnar is that petty especially right before he will be negotiating a new contract.

Honestly, this feels like a work.

Could be. It was stated Vince's people were trying to convince him, to try to use another angle for the main event. Though Vince being the stubborn mule that he is, wants Lesnar/Reigns and he stated he will sue Lesnar if he is not there at Mania.

He could try but Lesnar is on a by appearance contract

Maybe it's creative differences with Lesnar needing to look strong before negotiating or maybe he feels that Reigns isn't the guy.

On that note, what "storyline" reason does Heyman have for blowing Reigns?

To further hype Lesnar. "Reigns is 11/10!!!! No one can beat him. Execpt my client BBBBBBRRRRROOOOOCCCCKKKKK LLLEEESSSSNNNNNAAAARRRR!!!!!!! Who just happens to be 1000000000000/10"

OR

Maybe it's to set up his eventual turn on Lesnar like he did with the Big Show.

Why?

Taker > Reigns
HHH > Reigns
Cena > Reigns.
Arguably Rollin > Reigns

It just feels like WWE acknowledging that Reigns can't cut it.
It's just nonsensical

Also Why is Roman always smiling when commantary is trying to get him over as a take no prisoners badass?

He's a happy guy. 🙂

I get it on a real level, WWE doesn't see the Diesel comparisons.

Storyline wise I just am baffled.

As a (the only) Reigns fan, i'm not even going to try and explain.
You'll just say the opposite of whatever i point out, and we're way past that here in regards to this particular wrestler.

I'm really curious as to where things go in the next year.
Even more than lesnar as an absentee champion, the Authority as THE constant presence in the title picture is just SO damn boring.
HHH may be a great guy/businessman/advocate of NXT etc....but he just cant stay off TV and out of the lime light.

I'm just saying he can't cut "wwe style" promos. He should cut Nash style promos where it's more facial expressions and use his improved in ring work to help carry him.

That said, the top guy is needed to be able to talk. Just look how short Brets time on top was and he was crazy over.

This could never happen,

Lesnar is a high priced commodity with his eyes set on future business relationships. As bad as it may get, Lesnar will appear there guaranteed outside of an act of God.

His showing up at UFC 184 is a part of the work.
