Gable Steveson is green as goose shit, of course. But this was a pretty smart and special way to introduce him. He’s got the Gable vs. Gable thing and he can look as good as possible when that happens.
Bobby Lashley is not someone I would have actually considered a great worker a few years ago. But he’s really got it all together and feels like a top guy. Think it’s good he won this. Omos has a long way to go. He seems to be getting pieces of it. But his look, his work — it all needs to come together a bit better. Omos should be a bodyguard for some heels.
Whoever put together the visual idea of Omos making Bobby Lashley look small should be praised. I didn’t think it would look as effective as it did.
Sami Zayn and Johnny Knoxville would not normally be my thing. But holy fuck did they go out there to entertain. It wasn’t as offensive as a lot of other wrestling that tries to be this kind of spectacle can be. It suits Johnny Knoxville to be out there doing this stuff, lol. Knoxville > Zayn > Bryan
The women’s tag…I get what they are going for. I get that they all worked hard. They got a bit of time. A face team won and they want us to care about those belts. I can imagine people who like Sasha or want this tag team thing to take off being into this. And yeah, I can see them trying to heat up the division. But multi-team tags are hard tl care about if they don’t have Chad Gable in them.
It’s pretty unbelievable Edge is doing what he’s doing. I loved his gear for some reason. AJ’s too. You can tell this meant the world to them and they busted ass. I’m just not that into the story around this yet. That can very easily change with the inclusion of Damian Priest and maybe other players.
The New Day got their spot. Second time they’ve lost to Sheamus at Mania. In fact, that happened the last time they were in Texas, didn’t it?
Pat McAfee/Austin Theory/Vince McMahon/Steve Austin…just pure electricity. Love that feeling you get when you really want Austin to come out, then he fucking comes out! So easy. Pat McAfee is great. Austin Theory “gets it.”
Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar did exactly the sort of match that you would expect from them. 7 years in the making. 20 years if you count Brock beating Rock in 2002 as him striking out against the family.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say about the show. Night 1 was a lot better but Night 2 was fun. Somehow the Knoxville/Zayn match stands out along with the McAfee/Thery/McMahon/Austin segement.
I wish I enjoyed AJ/Edge more, I just got really tired during that match and almost fell asleep. The main event satisfied me, no complaints.
Reports that Roman may be injured legit, you can see his triceps very red and swollen.
