Guess the rest of the refs are busy in catering if Edge is having to resort to pulling ref duty for the rest of this Universal title match.

Ending shenanigans aside, Universal title match was one of the best WWE PPV matches in recent years.
Seriously doubt Edge vs. Reigns is going to match that at Mania assuming WWE doesn't make it a triple threat. |

Really good match. Not sure how they can’t turn it into a triple threat at this point.

So hold on...what's the point of having an enforcer in a match, ostensibly to prevent run ins or other shenanigans, only for the enforcer to be so incompetent that he gets knocked out, shenanigans happen, and then the enforcer themself interferes in the match?

Either a triple threat, or they pull an NJPW and make Roman defend the belt on each night.

WWE could have cut several matches tonight and Fastlane would have been a much better PPV to debut on Peacock than what they gave tonight.
As is, it was mostly all right. Still didn't change my mind going in that this was a mostly useless and very uninteresting PPV that wasted time that could have been spent to make Mania's build a lot better than what its gotten so far. |

Good match between DBry/Roman, as always when they square off.
It makes sense to add Dbry to the main-event at WM, easy way to get the title to Edge without Roman getting pinned. |

I only ended watching the latter half of the PPV
Drew is the baby face beefcake that Vince wanted Cena to be. The Fiend has jumped several sharks. D Bry is a guaranteed 4 star match and Roman did good too. Ending was gay. |

Here’s what I’ll say about the Fiend. If you want to hype it up as some murder monster who tries to kill opponents by dropping light fixtures or throwing fireballs and then your actual finish is just aggressively throwing someone on their shoulder, it’s going to be lame.

Storyline-wise, Bryan right now has more beef with Edge over costing him the chance at winning the title than he has with Reigns for beating him via shenanigans. Best revenge Bryan can get is denying Edge that very valuable show closing Mania main event title match. |

Think he also caught some serious backlash online last year for not wearing a mask for a while at WWE's shows at the Performance Center and the lame excuse(s) he gave. |

Could tell the edge chair shot was coming a mile off with how they went tight on Bryan and reigns with the camera shot. Though knowing Kevin Dunn i'm amazed the chair didn't have a camera attached to it. |

WWE would have had the show of the century if they booked Christian in Daniel Bryan's spot, but instead they lost him again....

Caught a bit of the show. Basically like a set-up show for Mania, not unlike a SNME. It was pretty good stuff, honestly. I don’t know how you can shit on this, for example, then go on to praise AEW.
Yeah, a lot of stupid stuff, but it’s not like you don’t get that everywhere now. If you think your Bray Wyatt/Alexa stuff is good (it’s not), this is probably what you do. The main event story felt like old-school stuff. Everyone has a reason to be mad at everyone. Edge is turning heel, but so far he is pretty justified in his frustrations. Every performer is carrying themselves with an internal logic. And the match was fucking awesome. And there’s so much history in these stories. Orton and Wyatt go back to 2016. Drew and Sheamus back 20 years or whatever. The Edge/Daniel Bryan stuff seems likely to be based around their career comebacks, so it’s really going to cover a lot of time, even if Bryan and Edge interacting is new. Edge and Roman go back to the 2020 Royal Rumble and I think maybe even further. Bryan and Roman have always been getting into it. WWE is just telling better stories right now. |
