Edge's promo about Bryan weaseling his way into a main event title match at Mania is true but still doesn't change the fact that his new heel character is still a moron for purposely lowering his odds at winning the title because of some ill timed decisions on his end.
at the short opening talkie segment. |

Dominik wearing a turtle neck t-shirt makes him look a bit goofy.
Nevermind, it was just a regular shirt that looked like it had a turtle neck since it was the same color as his ring attire underneath. |

Vince probably just threw whatever he had in his hand across the room after that loud leg slap Montez Ford did for his drop kick spot.
8-Man Tag match was pretty good but SD's tag division has still been a bit boring these past few weeks or so. |

since OTIS is now an evil heel is he still using the worm as his finisher?

Did Rollins get blasted by a paint gun or fall into a vat of tie-dye since his suit this week might be his wackiest looking one yet since his return.
Either someone has been giving him some really odd fashion advice or he got baited into a big prank/rib these past few weeks. |

Whelp that Natty vs. Shayna match was a waste of time.
SD's Women's division has been a dumpster fire during this Road to Mania. |

If that women's tag brawl afterwards was meant to be the tease for the multi-women's tag match at Mania then it was such a big dud.
Why even have the brawl if the idea was to just have Natty & Tamina stand tall in the end. They already had the last laugh after Natty beat Shanya in a quick nothing match. |

That documentary trailer segment didn't really need Logan Paul involved at all with how it went down.

Going to laugh if this Carmella vs. Bianca match is nothing more than just a quick squash for Bianca considering Carmella's online outburst earlier this week against RAW's Creative over their terrible booking of their women's division on RAW this week.

at whatever that botch was during this Carmella vs. Bianca match.
Either Bianca went too early with the flips or Carmella was way too slow with the roll away or both since it was that weird of a botch. Match ended up lasting longer than I expected but still was meh. |

Poor Cedric & Shelton, went from being in one of the best acts on RAW with the Hurt Business to not even being Mania pre-show worthy because WWE yanked the Andre Battle Royal to SD this year.

Big E vs. Apollo Crews in a Nigerian Drum Fight at Mania ... wait wtf is even a Nigerian Drum Fight?
WWE turned a pretty cool feud between Big E and Apollo into a lot less appealing and interesting feud these past few weeks. |

Daniel Bryan vs. Jey Uso Street Fight was pretty good although not one of the better matches those two have had recently. Something about the match felt a bit off.
The post-match rampage by Bryan was great though. This week's show was mostly average at best overall but also somewhat skippable. Did feel more like the go-home show for Mania despite there still being a week left in this year's Road to Mania. |

Sami Zayn seems like the best part of WWE right now... Extremely sweaty and unkempt in his pink suit. Love him

at Rey randomly falling down despite him not being anywhere close to where Dominik landed on his dive to the outside.
Also Rey & Domink did the one holds the ropes and the other dives through it spot much better than what Shotzi did at TakeOver. Helps that Rey is smaller and didn't overshot the spot. |

The height Montez Ford got on his Frog Splash was crazy.
Smackdown Tag title match was pretty good but the finish and Ziggy & Roode retaining was a bit of a buzz kill. |

at Melty Man Fiend.
Can't stop chuckling whenever WWE shows the graphic for his new look. Wait why are they going to waste valuable go-home show minutes on SD showcasing the Orton vs. Fiend since that's a RAW brand feud. |

Guess WWE's not going to bother explaining what a Nigerian Drum match is until it actually happens at Mania since that Big E video talked about his hometown instead and Apollo probably not getting a video of his own tonight.

That was a bit weird. Nia Jax comes out first to her music, then Tamina to her music, then WWE goes to break but when they come back, Nia's music is suddenly playing as if she was the one who came out second.
Match itself sucked. |

at the reveal of if Billie Kay found a tag partner is just Carmella nonchalantly showing up at her side.
This women's tag contenders segment might actually be worse than the one on RAW. |

Even included the "this ad was paid for by" line done in actual political ads. |

Edge's promo was great.
This Universal title feud might have gotten a bit convoluted build-wise but its been delivering gold after gold for promos. |

at that little diss by Adam Pearce and Sonya over Ziggy and Roode's win tonight not counting as a Mania win.
Neither one gave a shit about them still being champs or the idea of them possibly defending the belts on little rest since tonight isn't Mania. |

That promo by Sasha was terrible.
Considering how bad the SD Women's title feud has been, feels like a big mistake to have that as the headliner for Night 1 of Mania instead of the WWE title match. The Hurt Business breakup stuff was stupid but the rest of the Lashley vs. Drew build has mostly good and one of the very few good builds for Mania this year. |
