Sami and Gunther sure made up for a lull since the tag title match. Time for shenanigans.

Seth and Cody deserve to lose just because of that fucking outfit Seth is wearing. Cody has to be thinking, "What the fuck am I doing?" The Rock and Roman just strolling in like badasses, and my partner is wearing flowers, leopard print robes, and puke.

Damn, Cody and Seth both look so cool

You're fired if you keep counting!

Good on them focusing on Rock and Seth. There's going to be plenty of Cody and Roman tomorrow anyway.

Between that, him saying "I don't fuck around" and the awful attempt to censor it I burst out laughing

Good match. I guess Cody has to take the pin since you dont want Seth losing twice (hes going to lose tomorrow).

I think it says a lot that I just found out that the ME went 45 minutes and was genuinely surprised. It did not feel that long at all to me.

The crowd was into it the entire time. The pacing was great, because the opening had all those unique matchups and they milked it. The wait for the match to get into the goofy madness was worth it.

Main event was pretty perfect. Rhea and Becky was great. Ladder match was fun despite some near death experiences. The Rey match made me literally go to bed so all Ive seen from the rest was the main event when I woke up

I will say that the ME felt extremely slow at the start, but as it went on it got better. I think from the point when Rock and Seth started breaking in the crowd onward it was good.

Beat match was still probably Zayn and Gunter Im always impressed whenever i see Gunter despite not caring about him at all
I find it kinda bussin, I find it kinda cap

Gunther is the type of wrestler I would have hated as a kid.

That was actually the first time Ive seen Gunther, and I hope he moves into the main event scene.

My only gripe with the Gunther match was his top rope splashes were really off, and you can tell he's not a top rope offense kind of guy.

That being said, best match of night 1 and I'm banking on Gunther being in the World title scene when WWE goes to Berlin later this year

Gunther routinely has the best matches on any card he's in (outside of a meh match with Riddle). I would put that #2 so far, because that main event was just perfect in its audacity.

I enjoyed the shit out of it.

MOTN: Sami Zayn v. Gunther.

There. I said it. And wouldn't take it back with a gun in my face.
I'll get back up for good this time and I ain't comin' down...

I guess I'll give this one a slight break since Seth worked last night but that wasn't great. Also sucks that the stomp to break the table didn't work.

That was a big nothing of a match. Couple of spots but ultimately forgettable.

Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one.
Im not asleep yet so its a good sign. 3/3 for my enjoyment wise so far

An okay match? Still waiting for a good one tonight.

I mean, the main event for sure will be overbooked madness of hilarious proportions. There's no way that won't be good as a floor and absurd fun as a ceiling.

Oh yeah, absolutely. But I'd still like at least 1 more match tonight to keep me interested.
