That was PERFECT. Mid-match I was getting kinda confused but drat did they ever turn it around.

the beatdown was weird, but hey, it added to the mystique on whether or not the Shield can persevere

I feel like, half the Shield's matches end this way.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

I'm going to regret staying up to watch this because in three hours I've got to get up for work and it's a 24 hour shift but gently caress me that was a great show.

I would love it forever if they don't turn on each other and just kind of go, "Ehn, we're done as a unit. Who the gently caress else are we gonna beat?"

Nothing truly outstanding and OMG MOTY, but in a word I'd describe the show as solid. Just really solid, top to bottom.

That wasn't a substantive PPV but all of the matches sans divas were at least decent. I dunno, better than I expected.

Which is why it wasn't weird. Evolution already lost an "even match," at the last show, the only way it would make sense this time is if they got the overwhelming advantage so the Shield could overcome it. The match was flawlessly designed as far as I'm concerned, the only real flaw was that the beatdown was kind of long and hurt the pacing a smidge.

Hey that was pretty good

My mom asked why John Cena cheated and covered the beard man with a box to win and she also thinks Dean Ambrose is hilarious and asked "where the old guy with the daughter" went

In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.
Aside from the main nothing really stood out. Takeover was better.

Lotta solid matches tonight but nothing that really stands out as MotY worthy. This match was definitely not as good as the last Shield/Evolution one, but there wasn't really a bad match on the card.

I would love it if Triple H tried to play some mind-games and they completely no-sold it.

HHH: You guys are pretty great, but I have to wonder, which of you is the BEST :smug:
Seth: Roman.
Dean: Yeah, Roman.
Roman: Thanks guys, group-hug! :glomp:
