PPV started out with a great tag team match, women's title sucked enough said about that, Orton vs Rusev Meh, Roode vs Ziggler decent match didn't really like the ending though, U.S title match was another decent, sucked for Dillinger to get thrown in the match just to take the pinfall. Shane Vs Owens delivered nice swerve with the Sami Zayn heel turn. Fuck, Jinder Mahal you fucking suck get the fuck off my T.V.
Funeral services upcoming for the careers of Nakamura and Rusev.

I loved the HIAC matches. The rest of the card was ok. It was about what I expected form everything. I expect MORe from Natalya and Charlotte after their NXT matches but this was passable for what they were doing.
I haven't liked a Jinder Mahal match yet, but it's clear he's being given the mid card world champ treatment.
Baron can be the US Champ. I'm fine with it. Maybe AJ can move to the world title picture and actually get a good match out of Mahal.
Then Shinsuke can win the Royal Rumble and we can have our AJ vs Shinsuke Wrestlemania Match.
The Tag HIAC Match was amazing. Once I saw the kendo sticks out and Uso 1 held Woods with it next to the cage I was thinking "It would be cool if they used the Kendo sticks to trap him in. Then the new day did that to the Usos later in the match. It was full of high spots but it wasn't unnecessary IMO. They pulled the superman no sell shit too much though. E can do it, but Woods didn't need to do it too. And they pulled the pissed off heel getting hit in the face look too much too, like he's not hurt but annoyed. the heel superman no sell. Once or twice is fine but I feel like it was way more.
Main event was great. I was so nervous when they were on top. I didn't want to see either of them get hurt. I actually hated it. But couldn't stop watching it. I verbally out loud to myself said 'kevin-no!' like 3 times as he neared the edge of the top of the cell. When Shane started climbing BACK up I was thinking how cool it would be if on Tuesday Sami Zayn came out and was like 'hey man- not cool. You took it to far. Trust me, no one hates KO more than me, but we have 20 years of history with each other. You tried to kill him on Sunday. You took it too far!" Not a Zayn heel turn but a moment of clarity for Shane... but a Zayn heel turn would be nice too.
I liked it. thumbs up for me.

It was a mixed bag. Two matches were pretty good (US and Tag) and main event was a super shitty match except for the end swerve. I know people are supposed to care a shit ton about HIAC and the big spots, but it was sluggish out of the gate, plus Shane can't strike and it looks ridiculous. As for the cell fall spots, it carries a lot less weight when we've seen them both done in the past couple years. Not to mention that those two spots had lead up where they were made so obvious that only an entry level mark would be surprised.
HOWEVER, Zayn making the save with the dive spot basically saved that whole thing and is instantly the most interesting thing to happen in WWE in awwwwwhhile.
Also, world title match was bunk. I don't hate Jinder, but I'm still waiting for Ashton to pop out so we don't have to live in a world where an angry Canadian dude beats top dudes with the same finish, because Indians are the biggest demographic WWE marks.
