my review

RVD vs Swagger, vs Cesaro - Lot's of botches in this match until they got Swagger out, then the spots from RVD were nice but that garbage can is so ****ing flimsy it split open so when RVD did his splash onto it cut his eye badly. That's what they get for trying to use softer/cheaper weapons. That's the price you pay, higher injury rate. Match was okay, didn't feel like a great opener.

Rusev vs Xavier Woods + R Truth - the Putin thing was instant cheap heat, and they're only really connection to get this russian powerhouse over (they should honestly start using Bridgett Neilson and Dolph Lungren from Rocky, it's the perfect comparison). Match did nothing for me, I hate squash matches on a pay per view with a guy who isn't over and the fans reject because he's not being put over by anyone credible. The only thing that saves this match is Lana is by far the hottest female on the WWE roster they have had in years. Maybe even THE hottest.

Big E vs Bad News Barrett - Probably my favorite match of the night, only because it's two big guys that can really move quick with their offensive sets and that looks really nice for WWE style wrestling in that big ring. Also, the fact that Barrett has charisma and there was a title change. All of that kept me interested, and BNB is over with the crowd, which makes it fun. This was the best match because all of the matches after were predictable.

Shield vs Evolution - This was a spot fest of a lot of oooooos and aaaaaahs from the crowd. The problem is there was no ****ing story to be told, it didn't satisfy me and it was just something for three main guys (Triple H, Orton, Batista) to have something to do. Evolution ends tomorrow because Batista goes away for like 3 months to promote his movie, so what's the point, it's a dead end for both the Shield and Orton/Triple H.

Wyatts vs Cena - I've read a lot of backlash on this match, but I liked it for the simple fact that finally Cena gets beat by a stupid finish. Cena has been beating people for the last 10 years with Super Cena and other god awful ways to finish a match, and it was good to finally see a really bad finish beat him. I was satisfied that if there was going to be a stupid dog shit ending, that it went Wyatt's way and not Cenas. This is the first time I can ever recall an awful finish to a PPV not going Cenas way.

Paige vs Snuka - Indifferent. The womens division is really lacking, does nothing for me since it really is only Paige and AJ that can work. With AJ taking off they are back to one worker for an entire division to carry it. Everyone else is too green, too old, or too busy dating a male wrestler.

Bryan vs Kane - I think DB is capped on popularity, fans fell asleep a few times and Kane has lost a step to be able to work a main event. There was some botches and a lot of lulls in this match and I don't think it was the right booking to keep the DB momentum going post WM. Everyone is behind the YES chant so they only get excited when it's close to the match ending so DB stays over. There was a point in the middle of this match I said thank goodness I have WWE Network and I can fast forward through it.

All in all okay PPV, I'd say for the PPV after WM it should be a lot better, they should carry the momentum, but as usual they dropped the ball there. It's very telling that this Summer is going to be really hard for the roster because nobody is around to carry the talent. No Punk no Batista no Undertaker, no Lesnar, Triple will probably go back to a non competitive role til at least Summer Slam. What's next for Orton? back in the title picture? Who do the Shield feud with next? Back to the Wyatts? Are they going to throw Cena back in the title picture against their only other face that's over? There is almost NOTHING for these guys to do except rehash the same ****ing feuds over and over again. I am excited for Adam Rose and Bo Dallas, hopefully one of the gimmicks hits better than all of the other failed gimmicks over the last couple years. If they could push one of them early and fast it could help their poor summer options.

I'd give this a 4.5/10.
