Continuing star ratings (doubt I'll bother to watch the next PPV, but will come back in the Rumble cause I like doing these.

***3/4 - Bryan vs Lesnar
***1/2 - Charlotte vs Ronda
**3/4 - Cruiserweight Title Match
**1/2 - Men's Survivor Series Match
*1/2 - Nakamura vs Rollins
* - AOP vs The Bar
1/2* - Women's Survivor Series Match

Bryan vs Lesnar was about as good as I could've hoped for really. Had a really nice progression I liked and I don't think any of the segments in the match overstayed their welcome. Bryan came off as a pretty legitimate threat I think and didn't do it in a way that strained credibility for me despite Lesnar being like twice his size. I think my only real problem was Lesnar's early escape of the Yes! Lock was a bit weak and hurt Bryan's credibility a bit. Like if Lesnar can just pull the hands apart it's like... ehhh. I don't care if Lesnar is stronger it's hard to break someone's grip in that position doing it that way.

Charlotte vs Ronda as said was quite enjoyable and really only held back by Ronda's lack of a moveset making the match feel like it was on repeat after a while. The other minor gripe is I can't buy the Figure 8 as a finish against women who do actual good submissions. Was true with Ronda and true with Asuka. Even the finish, I liked in a vacuum, but it was explained poorly and I'm not sure we're going to get a good explanation ever.

Cruiserweight Title Match probably would've been better even to the point of possibly being MotN if I watched 205 Live. I had trouble caring, but I managed to get into it despite not caring because the action was good.

Men's Survivor Series Match... too much focus on Shane, but kinda enjoyable. Lashley beasting on guys was fun to watch.

Nakamura vs Rollins just went way too long for what it was. Felt phoned in and like it was padding time. I think it could've went that long with build or feeling the IC or US Titles had actual prestige, but as it was I was not a fan.

AOP vs Bar was a bad Smackdown tag match with bad comedy.

Women's Survivor Series match was kinda just boring. Terrible booking too which dings it a star. Nia is not getting good kind of heat that you want to push her like this-- this would've been an excellent step towards rebuilding Asuka into actually mattering again if they went that way but instead bury her deeper.
