Maybe they are trying to kill off the Wyatts.  Cause that's the only reason I can think they would lose to a few wrestlers 15 years past their primes.  

 
####### love AJ... 

I hope they give him a heel run, think he can do that cocky heel well, put him with Balor and have him run roughshod from April-August building to a Reigns match.  Or even start it with Reigns/Ambrose vs Balor/Styles to elevate

 
Pre show match was good 

Women's tag was really well crafted and shined up Sasha. 

Owens vs Ziggler continued their string of solid matches. 

Big Show really went all out in the six man tag. I don't have a problem with Bray's lackies taking a loss to a bunch of giants. Bray needs to do his own dirty work.

Women's title match was Charlotte's best match in wwe so far. Really nice effort by Brie. 

AJ Styles vs Jericho was lit.

 
Been very impressed with Styles. No brainer to book him vs Owens at WM. They'll steal the show no doubt

My god... if they ever built that with a little work shoot calling the IC belt the workers title in essence... which is where AJ would have been money 25-30 years ago, I would lose my sheet

Hey dweebs…If AJ Styles ever comes anywhere near MY #ICTitle, I’ll take him out in less time than it took me to toss him out of the Rumble.

Assuming I'm in the minority but I'm really looking forward to Roman-Triple H.

You are.  

They need to get back to the Reigns that nearly murdered HHH... to have them doing a passive staredown in just the worst posed, stagey fashion... get a shot... it doesn't need to close the damn broadcast for 30 seconds

 
Roman vs HHH is going to be awesome, and it's an easy build over the next six weeks with Hunter holding all the cards. 

Taker vs Cena has tons of potential. 

Dean vs Brock 

Owens vs Styles

New Day vs Sheamus and Del Rio

Kalisto vs Rusev

Not sure where Bray will fit, though. 

 
I'm starting to think Michael Cole might be WWE's biggest problem. The Del Rio/Kalisto match was probably my 2nd favorite match on the card(which I never would have guessed) and it was almost entirely because of the announcer being outstanding at his job. Mauro Ranallo was awesome, he called the match like an actual sporting event, and his excitement in calling the match, made me care a bunch about a match that I had little interest in. Seriously, if you didn't follow any of the storylines, and just watched and listened, you'd have thought Del Rio/Kalisto was the most important match of the night. 

The Sasha-Becky/Naomi-Tamina match was fine, I liked it as the opener, even if one team is greatly outclassing the other. 

Owens/Ziggler was fine, but kinda suffers from happening every week for the last month.

That 6 man match made me really miss Sunday Night Football. Its a sad day when the Wyatt family can't even beat 3 people who nobody cares about. That was a completely pointless and senseless match and booking decision. At this point the Wyatt's are hard to ever take seriously. Bray talks a good game, but he's never accomplished anything he's threatened to do. He's basically Sideshow Bob at this point.

Jericho/Styles was my pick for match of the night. I wasn't sure Jericho still had this in him. Probably the best match he's had in 4 years, since his feud with CM Punk. Wasn't expecting to a Styles Clash, let alone a kickout of it, I 100% thought that was the end. Also bought the codebreaker through the ropes as a finish too. After Ambrose/Owens at Rumble, this is probably my 2nd favorite match of the year so far, and I wasn't expecting much at all.

Charlotte/Brie was a special level of awful. They wrestled like they just met when the bell rang, and had no idea what either of them do. Brie might be the worst seller, and talker in wrestling, I enjoyed her tap out, which kinda looked like someone trying to hit the snooze on their alarm clock. Also, her promo where she said that, "despite being smaller than Bryan and Nikki, she was strongest one because she was still standing" was the best heel promo of the year, if it were even remotely on purpose and not because she doesn't understand how words work. She can't be retired soon enough. We also have more than enough evidence that Charlotte(well a bit better than the women who preceded her) was greatly carried on NXT by superior wrestlers, and is easily the least talented of the 4 horsewomen.

The main event was underwhelming to me, not just because of the outcome, though it will be kinda funny to see 90,000 people cheering HHH at Mania, but because it was a huge waste of Brock Lesnar. I mean, he could have been replaced by Kane and it would have been close to the same match. Lesnar didn't have to win, nor should he have, but he's the main event and the special attraction, and he spent most of the match just lying around. I understand it tells a story, and a good one and a realistic one at that, but it just wasn't entertaining me I guess. 

I kinda felt this was a "C" show overall.

 
Terrible show. Glad didnt watch live.

Agree 100% about Mauro Ranallo. The guy is easily the best WWE announcer. That said, no one can remain that enthusiastic through the 3 hours of #### WWE puts on every Monday.

Speaking of ####, we finally done with Brie Bella?!? What a terrific ending!! Almost like she jumped out of the half crab to clothesline herself on the rope.....She and her worthless sister can't leave the business soon enough. Talentless hacks that can't work or talk. Go live off Bryan and Cena & never return to the business. Have kids/families, adios whatever. Just stay the #### off my TV. 

Styles/Jericho was good. However, Jericho kicked out of the Styles clash only emphasizes everything that's wrong with the business. No reason to even use the move if he's going to kick out. 

Owens/Ziggler: Meh. Tired of this match already. 

I hope there was an injury as to why the Wyatts jobbed. Even it was, they should have audibled to a different Wyatt victory finish.

Thought the Edge/Christian segment was awful. Absolutely no one cares about the League of Nations. "Watch our show! Watch our show" So corny and ####### cringe worthy. No one cared.

Main event was pretty good if predictable. I think they've definitely done a much better job booking Ambrose lately. Ya know, like a lunatic, like they've been portraying him for the past 2 years for no reason. The cheesy ### stare down to end the show. Just awful. So with all their history.....they're just gonna stand there and stare at each other? :lmao:   Let's get that WM photo!!!

I give the show a C-. Only 2 good parts of the show (Styles/Jericho and main event). Edit: As dumb as that ADR finisher looks, ADR/Kalisto & Mauro were good as well. Jobbing the 4 Wyatts really makes this show deserve an automatic F.

100,000 people are going to be cheering for the 50 year old part time wrestler/"bad guy" in the WrestleMania main event. Impressive work WWE.

 
Like the ending of the main event was ever in doubt?  I mean HHH at his age couldn't withstand a full match with Brock. After suplex #2 he would have been curled up in a ball. 

The only way they can save WM is to have Reigns beat the heck out of HHH and really make it seem like he has the match in hand throughout, and then have Ambrose interfere at the end and cost Reigns the belt. 

 
I thought it was a pretty good show. I would give it a B-.  I'm taking into consideration that the February PPV is always a bit of a throw away as they save their best matches for WrestleMania.  I knew going in that this was little more than a Monday Night Raw, other than the main event. 

Things I liked:

Owens vs Ziggler.  Very good match. 

Styles vs Jericho.  Really, really good match.  Loved that.  I was conflicted on who to root for. 

Women's tag match.  I thought that was a pretty fun match.  Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.  Was waiting for Sasha to attack or disrespect Becky at the end.

Main event.  For me there was a little bit of doubt. Given the hate for Reigns among many of the fans, I though some kind of swerve might happen.  I like Reigns, but most "serious" seem to disagree.  The next 6 weeks is going to be important in generating fan interest.  But the match itself was really good, and I though it all made perfect sense.  They managed to protect Lesnar's aura of invincibility by having him only beatable by 2 guys, and even then it took a herculean effort. 

The 6 man tag, only because it featured literally every wrestler I have zero interest in (except Luke Harper) in one match.  I wouldn't watch it if they were wrestling live in my backyard.  But I appreciate that it only took up one spot on the card so I could watch some Badger basketball for a  few minutes. 

Things I didn't like:

The Wyatts jobbing out to the has-beens.  That one seemed to upset everybody, and it was a head scratcher for me too. 

Jericho kicking out of Styles Clash.  Way too early to bury that move. People need to know that's a finisher to be feared.

The Social Outcasts bit. That was better suited for Smackdown.  I'm not really feeling the R-Truth / Goldust thing.  Why are they making R-Truth into the straight man of a comedy duo?

How about if Cena returned to help Triple H retain?  Now that I could get on board with.
