Absolute cluster-fruitcake of a main event. Overbooked as hell, but made me laugh and kept me entertained. Would have been cool if Miz had pinned Kurt at the end I think, but oh well.

i drafted a fantasy booking post yesterday after thinking about it some more and then deleted it because fantasy booking sucks...but well, I hated this booking because we got to the same point (Kurt cleaning house) through via different and insane methods. I mean, it was fun. But so stupid.

Obviously they just took the thing they had planned and plugged Angle in. I suspect even Roman being carried out and then coming back was in the original because obviously Reigns has done that before. It's very weird that Kurt's 'return' match was him cosplaying as Roman Reigns. Anyway, I thought Angle should have changed the match back to Dean/Seth v Cesaro/Irish because, among other people on the brand, Reigns and Miz were not fit to compete, and so he orders Strowman/Kane back to the hotel and demands no interference from them.

And then you do the tag match and you get to Dean/Seth almost winning and Miz comes down (with one of those medical masks on for lulz) and drags the ref outta the ring, Kane and Strowman come down too, and then you can do the whole brawl thing including Strowman being crushed to death by a truck, and then you do Kurt's music, getting the pin etc, except he's ****ing dressed as himself and he uses his own finish.

this company is so weird man. They've moved heaven and earth because people got sick, but they didn't actually change the match layout

They needed a big draw of some sort as a hook for the show tbf.

Nobody is buying the PPV/the Network to see a main event of Dean and Seth vs Bar.

People wouldn't've known because the announcement that Reigns is out wouldn't've been made until the show started (you can still announce the bray/finn/AJ thing beforehand)

So--so show.

Emma is awesome, but she is a jobber and should have been squashed, way to competitive that match. The story they told they should have waited for a few months when Asuka is established. Elias if only he could work a good match, he'd be money, that was genuine heat for a midcard heel something we don't see much of these days. AJ v Finn was solid, that will have done Finn more good than that 17 months of feuding with Bray.

Main event was a mess tbh, enjoyable and at times amusing and definitely had mark out moments, but still silly as hell. Zero interest in Kane v Strowman whatsoever.

So they did a SDL raids Raw thing and it was alright. No idea why they just didn't have a few people come down with Shane and have them drag Kurt through a backstage of SDL guys already beating on Raw. Wouldve looked less terrible on camera and you'd also not have awkward face beating on face quite as much.

Slightly missed opportunity not to have more Rollins/Ambrose style mini comebacks. The Bar and Shield working together against a common foe wouldve been a cool thing that wont happen at Survivor Series.

Did the entire Smackdown roster hust collectively turn heel? Haha

Anyway, quite enjoyed that. It's inly through doing stuff like this that they can create the illusion of the brand split actually mattering, so it's all good so far as I'm concerned.

Balor losing to Kane ftl though. I get why they did it, but Finn can't keep losing to non important guys if they ever want him reach the same level as someone like AJ

yeah Jesus. The only way Kane should ever be this built up is if he’s retiring at the end of this Strowman programme.

Kane over Balor the night after Balor goes over AJ in an absolute thriller. Just dumb.

Also, Shane’s first appearance on TV since HIAC and its on Raw and he turns heel? Absolutely no context or backstory to the ‘invasion’. Just ugh.
