    I'd rather see Diego win the match than him.

    Reigns is still extremely raw in the ring in my opinion

    He doesn't even pull back on their neck. Such an awful looking move.

    Well that wasn't a very good show. Don't know how they looked at that show on paper and thought removing the potential best match was a good idea.

    Couldn't see them putting him on PPV unannounced like that really.

    I don't think this PPV was worth staying up at night.

    It was like an episode of RAW with one or two good matches.

    Honestly, I can't believe they just didn't have the Rollins v Ambrose match

    I'd be pretty pissed if I bought a ticket and went to that show, expecting to see Ambrose v Rollins and it never happens.

    From what i've heard Jericho/Wyatt and Swagger/Rusev were big let downs too.

    Ah the show was grand, there wasn't much to hate about it. Apart from Rollins and Ambrose not actually happening (which isn't the end of the world) it was an enjoyable show. Sure there was things I didnt like but there always is.

    I didnt mind the Rollins Ambrose match not happening, furthers there story well IMO. Made Ambrose look strong, crazy, out of control and determined. The match at Summerslam (if it happens then) will be even better as a result. Slight shades of Austin with Ambrose last night which is a huge plus.

    Swagger v Rusev was decent, think both lads can do better and expect Swagger to get the win down the road. With these politically motivated storylines, WWE either slowly kill them off or go full throttle with them, and with Lanas pre match promo, I believe we will see alot more of Putin in the coming weeks at least.

    AJ v Paige was decent too, again would of thought they can pull off a better match but it was another match to fuel the feud. Paige doesnt look ready to be honest but is still head and shoulders above most of the Divas. She will only get better with time.

    Uso's Vs Wyatts was great. Both teams gave it their all in the ring and the last few mintues of near falls was top notch. Please give the Uso's a personality though, they can do it in the ring, but I couldnt care less about them. Was hoping for a Wyatt win there

    Missed Jericho v Wyatt so cant comment much except on the result. Ive no problem with Jericho winning initially but I imagine Wyatt will win the war even though he lost the battle.

    The Battle Royal was a good one, some nice spots, some shocks (Cesaro being dumped out by Slater) And i didnt hate The Miz winning, though it was obvious he was going to since he was hiding outside. Wonder what Cesaro has done to get in the dog house.

    Also what happened to Fandango and RVD, were they not due in the Battle Royal???

    The PPV was what it was and I enjoyed it.

    Wyatt is finished as anything significant IMO. Harper is the only useful part of that faction

    A show of real highs and lows imo.

    Usos vs Wyatts was brilliant.

    Never expected Ambrose and Rollins to go beyond a No Contest, so the fact the duo got a show long angle that worked brilliantly was a nice surprise.

    Bray vs Jericho was a good match, until the ending.

    I liked how many video packages we got for feuds.

    Rusev/Swagger felt like it never quite clicked but was decent. Divas title match was decent too, and won't complain when the Diva's actually get a decent story to work with.

    Battle Royal was great....up until it became painfully obvious Miz was winning (so about half way through), and I think even the crowd picked up on it. It was too obvious. On the upside, Dolph was given a lot of good moments. Cesaro's stock is falling fast.

    Didn't think we'd see Brock at the show either (you save that for TV), but that didn't mean the main event didn't end like a damp squib. Its not so much "Cena wins, LOL", cause I get the arguments for keeping the title on him. But the manner he does....it's just so boring and predictable. And worse, it's utterly forgettable; as a PPV main event, you could have skipped most of the last month and have missed absolutely nothing.

    So overall, very middling show for me. Tag match was a highlight.

    Hes not, I think his promo work is still good, His character just needs to go somewhere. Missed his match last night but I still like him in the ring. He gives something different in there and is very agile for a man of his size and stature. The majority of the live fans still dig him too.

    I personally think his character needs to progress differently, all his feuds see very similar.

    OK;

    Tag match was awesome. Going in I wanted Wyatts to win but i'm fine with the Uso's winning. Think they have to drop the belts soon though, time for new champions imo.

    AJ/Paige was meh. I think both girls can do a lot better.

    Ambrose/Rollins, while its a shame they didn't actually wrestle, they furthered the feud and Ambrose looked great. Relentless. Loved him coming out of the boot of the car. The fact that HHH got involved and in his face is very encouraging for Ambrose going forward too I think.

    Really enjoying Rollins heel work. He is such a complete smug bastard. It's great.

    Swagger/Rusev was ok, think better will come and a count out was probably the right way to go.

    Miz winning the IC title. Ugh. Just ugh. You could hear a pin drop. Cesaro :mad:

    Bray and Jericho was ok. More to come.

    Fatal four way was as dull as expected. I just don't care about Reigns. He's doing nothing for me. He has to step things up. Completely one dimensional.

    5-6/10 show. It was what it was, a preview for Summerslam.
