[JP Sauce]

Fun card.

IMO, only two matchers are certain - Mami and GUNTHER.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Reigns is going to get the tag titles isn't he

Going to walk around with 4 belts

Possibly. Or loses via USOs interference accidentally taking him or Solo out before we go into full blown internal Bloodline feud.

 

[RossFC]

Watching mainly for Brock/Cody, the World Title match, and to see how Trish goes vs Becky.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Auska better win im so done with Bianca she can EST on her way out

 

[Golden_6]

Does anyone think Cody & Brock might be a squash? Cody comes in hobbled and Brock completely beats him to a pulp.

Cody then comes back in the coming months to 'overcome' Lesnar, maybe at Summerslam?

 

[Cleavy]

It’s possible, but I do agree the 3rd match at SummerSlam

Probably yea as they have to drag it out.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Still don't watch Saudi shows, but I guess I'll skip through it to see what happens in the tag title match.

 

[WA ROO]

Reigns is going to get the tag titles isn't he

Going to walk around with 4 belts

More than likely seeing as Roman & Solo don't lose

 

[Cleavy]

apparently Rollins vs Styles is opening the show

 

[Nicho50]

Brilliant show, couple of low points with some of the women’s matches but overall brilliant.

 

[Ry009]

End of the main event was perfect. Best end to a show in a long time.

 

[JP Sauce]

Somehow the Bloodline story gets better and better. Not what I thought was going to happen, but infinitely better!

Really good show overall.

they've had good to great show endings the last several months.

 

[Jack Richards]

That was a great ending

 

[Nicho50]

Seth v Styles was great as expected, Cody and Brock was decent but not raving about it and the Bloodline story just delivers every time .

Time for Belair to go heel with the profits. Hopefully it’s somehow linked with the LA Knight story, clearly the fans love LA he got great pops just by being shown and profits are quite stale.

 

[Ry009]

Never said they've been terrible, but IMO that's one of the best. Beginning of the end for Roman, been slow burn but timing and execution was spot on. That's why I rate it so highly.

Yep. I expected something like it but you know it's been done super well when it's as you expected but still leave you so impressed. Roman's body language and overall performance in this as a heel in general is remarkable in its effectiveness.

 

[Sippa]

One thing I don’t get .. Is that whole thing around jey being conflicted .. and jimmy was the loyal one .. but then jeys the one trying to stop jimmy from turning ..

Why.. would’ve made more sense to keep it with jey?

 

[YeoShuey]

Only enjoyed the first two matches.

Jey has been gaslit and beaten down more than anyone else though. It’s why he was so conflicted. Like a beaten dog. It took him a while to see things how they reallt are, but Jimmy finally reached his breaking point.

“I’m doing what you should have done a long time ago”

Also elevates Jimmy and makes him at the same level as Jey in terms on storyline involvement.

 

[RossFC]

Good world title match
Smackdown womens title match a waste of time.
Good to see Zoey Stark involved in the Trish/Becky match.
Didn't care about the raw womens title match, but thank **** someone else has it.
Brock gets the dub over Cody, perhaps a rubber match at summerslam?
Gunther did his best to make Ali look like a decent IC title challenger, but Ali will always be a joke.
Glad that Owens and Zayn retained, hopefully the Bloodline stuff is done soon and we can move onto something else.

 

[Ry009]

Yeah, I was one of the ones that thought they should have pulled the trigger on Cody at Mania, but if these are some of the stops on the way to getting back there, then this is a much bigger (and better) payoff.

That being said I hope it's conclusion is in the next 3-6 months max.
