Botches
- The Tag Team Division Match deserved to be on the main show and not the kickoff show, and by doing so it left Smackdown’s only team victory out of the scoring.
- How is anyone supposed to respect Drake Maverick as the General Manager of 205 Live or take him seriously next to Authors of Pain after peeing himself on television?
Bodyslams
- Nia Jax has real heat from the audience, probably in part because they bought their tickets looking forward to Rousey vs. Lynch, which Nia Jax single-handedly prevented.
- Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura ran longer than it needed to, but was still a great match. Both men seemed to know they needed to be the match of the night, and they arguably were.
- Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair was an epic face-off that defines the new era of Women’s Wrestling.
The event was heavily stilted in favor of RAW, with Smackdown’s victory in the Tag Team Division being glossed over. All of the matches were entertaining, and everyone was putting forth their best effort to make this event as big as possible. The quick shift to put the belt on Daniel Bryan to create an interesting match against Brock Lesnar was a good idea, even if the heel Daniel Bryan isn’t exactly what the crowd wanted to see. The women once again proved themselves to be the heart of both shows with a fantastic opening bout and what was the most dynamic fight of Rousey’s career with Charlotte Flair. It was a great show that kept me interested from start to finish and had some incredible action scattered throughout. RAW may have won on the score sheet, but the fans are the real winners here.
