OK so I wonder if they let Kalisto practice climbing and walking on the cage at all before he did it because it did not really seem that way.

That Naomi reverse 'rana spot isn't as bad as the gif makes it look. When they showed the other angle you can clearly see that Paige landed on Naomi's legs with her back and slid off.

Still a botch but not the crippling it appears to be.

After one of those spots Naomi rolled Paige over for the pin and she looked like legit unconscious dead weight.

Yeah I don't doubt she got hurt in that match, just that the specific spot legit looked like it broke her neck at first wasn't as bad as it looks. Still like four huge gently caress ups in that match.

I loved how the commentary put it over as this big huge move.

No name to it as well, I remember JBL constantly saying "Awww she won't be getting up after that move, and what a move it was."

I think they make Dean champion at some point because eventually Reigns is gonna be champion and eventually they'll do a Shield reunion, and "ALL THREE MEN WERE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION" sounds way better than "Seth and Reigns were champion"

Rollins vs Ambrose vs Reigns seems like a money match.

Except it's a Dusty finish that makes no sense. There have been plenty of title changes on the second ref counting 3 after the 1st ref bumped out that were never reversed.

To play devil's advocate, most ref bumps happen by accident but this was Seth very clearly pulling the ref in the way.

The craziest part about this Dusty finish is that Dirty Deeds is strong enough to get an 8 count.

I wonder why they didn't use the established Evil Ref, Scott Armstrong as the evil ref that screwed Dean. Unless they did and commentary ignored that, in which case congrats WWE

Maybe because it was a heatless void were the commentary never acknowledged the fact these men did have history?

History was never acknowledged, it was far from their best, and even if it was it still would have looked like poo poo immediately following the Owens/Cena match. It was treated exactly like what it was, a piss break.

They ran a video package at on point in the night (maybe preshow) that showed the ladder match in NXT and everything.

I didn't even mind the Neville match. It was clearly placed as a cool down and Bo worked nicely as a heel who kept you from seeing the cool poo poo that the face can do. At least he cinched up the cravate nicely.

Both of these. This was not your typical ref bump, it was literally one of the two match participants clearly accosting a ref.

And holy poo poo when Seth didn't kick out of the Dirty Deeds I was less shocked Dean "won" and more that Seth didn't kick out,

Also

I like the owens/cena match because Cena is just overselling the gently caress out of everything, it's great. Also the tag chamber match was awesome, gently caress the haters. Though that top-drop thing was weird and didn't really work.

edit: who did they pick up calling during the match, was it owens or cena?
