    Samoa joe v Richochet might be good the rest of the card looks awful.

    Corbin as champ

    Sometimes it's the poorer looking cards that surprise you . I know you can't really compare it to UFC but the amount of times I've looked at a UFC ppv and thought meh to then be surprised at how good it was is crazy. Though this is more or less a C PPV imo because of Super Showdown, so they better pull a few aces out of their sleeves to build up for Extreme Rules and Summer slam or think about dropping June and December PPVs to be replaced by the Saudi Arabia shows.

    To be fair, it was just a scoopsman on another forum I'm on so it may be complete fiction.

    It still wouldn't surprise me though.

    To be honest I’d be ok with that if it were true.


    The product can’t be any worse than it is now.

    In WWEs defence the doors could have opened 5 mins before that photo was taken. Mania is half dead during preshows too.

    Cruiserweight match was good, pity that they are stuck on 205 and not used more on the main shows.

    People are guessing she might have a role to play in Rollins/Corbin because of the match placement.

    Well at least becky didn't lose. The name Stomping Ground sounds like it came from the red rooster version of PPV names.

    They're quick to point out how fast Lacey tapped. They must want to make the Disarmher look very strong.

    Great show. I am enjoying the fact that WWE are acknowledging more now than they did a few years ago. Becky and Seth's relationship, backstage segments etc.

    This match hopefully will be good.

    In fairness to Bayley she showed maturity unlike her friend Sasha Banks who sulked and took her ball and went home.
