Great main event match and I really enjoyed most of it... other than Roman taking like 4 finishers, plus a 450 splash, then kicking out. Spear. Over. Ok then.
KO was amazing tonight like always. His commentary was a highlight. Fucking hilarious.
Really happy to hear Enzo is ok.

At least AJ has a super finisher which RR did not kick out of, he merely dodged it.
Owens vs Zayn was the match of the night and Owens in general is solid gold. I'm happy they're trying to make the IC title matter (again) but he really deserves to be fighting for the World title.
Roman vs AJ was good. But I had bad flashbacks to that Dolph Ziggler / John Cena match on Raw where Cena ate 5 finishers and won with a single AA.

The big question I have is whether Enzo meant to slide or if he was supposed to go out the middle like a standard throw out. The way Simon appeared to throw him made it look like he expected Enzo to go through the middle ropes.
That pic KO posted is great and I'm really happy to see that Enzo appears to be ok. I wonder if he's ok to do a promo on Raw or Smackdown next week. Obviously, he's going to be out of the ring for a bit.

Marketing. Same reason they had Shane "running the show" even though nothing changed behind the scenes (i.e. 50/50 booking, Steph's army of 30 writers, shit commentary courtesy of Vince, superCena booking for Reigns, etc.) If you SAY it's a "new era", you can deliver the same-old, same-old without changing a thing and people will believe it.
You mean the shitty finisher that Jericho's kicked out of like two times?
I'll never understand why they immediately weakened that move the moment he used it in WWE. It was the most protected finisher in wrestling when he came in. Well I guess that title now goes to Roman's spear. You did it Vince.

Eh I'd rather they just lump Cesaro, Zayn, Owens and Miz in the IC fight for a while. None of them realistically have a shot at the world title now and the bookings with those four would be really fun
Alternate between miz and KO commentary too randomly. Zayn killed it in the ring and Owens in and out of it. Loved when he was shitting on byron lmao
That's a secondary move. Not a finisher.
Superman Punch isn't his finisher

Yea, I always saw that as his lead up to the spear. Has he ever won off that move alone?
He's been pinning people regularly with the Phenomenal Forearm for the past several weeks. It's his finisher.
Because he took 4 finishers before that point. Including at tag team finisher which is more powerful.
Yes but you can book it better than this Hogan 1994 era type of ridiculousness.

As it was foreseen in the Mayan prophecies.
Really enjoyed Payback. Every match was great, and the main event was on point. This new era is sounding good.
Camp WWE was funny but it needs more substance. It wants to be South Park, but lacks the one thing that allows for South Park to grab the brass rings constantly. I legit lol'd at a lot of stuff though. Vince and Ric Flair stole the show.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That was fucking awesome.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I think the funnier part is that he managed to drop the WWEWHC twice and he's still never lost clean even once.

Sami "he stole my debut" Zayn and Roman "2 losses 1 Night" Reigns could not have looked weirder tonight in relation to what their characters are supposed to be.
Gotta build that resume.
My coworkers (ages 37-55) were watching some video of a millennial shitting on millennials and they were all like "Yeah! Why can't they be all like her!"

The ending to the women's championship match was horrible. Beyond that, Charlotte can't do her finishing move if she's even a little bit tired.
And they wasted a Bret Hart appearance.
The GM stuff should have been moved to Raw. Instead, the segment was overlong and killed the mood only slightly less than Enzo's injury.

Even Cena puts people over clean.
He just wins the next 5 matches to cement the fact that he's the better guy and his opponent is chopped liver.
They don't even dare to chance letting Roman lose clean... despite their BS mantra that "wins and losses mean nothing" which they clearly believe given how they flagrantly ignore stips and book PPV main event rematches before the guys even leave the ring from the last one.

Technically he never kicked out of the Phenomenal Forarm

So to be clear, Shane and Steph just made every title match this point forward no dq, right?
Yes.

I would've much rather had AJ been turned on leading to the finish than that. Good match up until the nonsense started.

Just finished watching the whole PPV. Happy for Russo. Didn't think he'd get work, but Vince proved me wrong.

I love that Camp WWE is just an excuse for VInce to swear a bunch.
It's fucking stupid but damn if it wasn't kinda funny.
John Cena being a super square and The undertaker's character were the best.
I'm relieved that most of the voices aren't the wrestlers.

That was a fucking great match.
I have to give Dunn credit for all the slow motion AJ stuff because it all looked fantastic. It's too bad he can't just have a gimmick where all his moves are in slow motion.
