Had him come onto Mandy.

god, that whole round of NXT callups is such a weird trainwreck

The way they've used EC3 is low-key one of the most inexplicable talent wastes they've ever done

What's going on with the Kofi storyline? I just tuned in because I forgot this would start so drat early with DST.

He almost beat Bryan for the title but came up short, a couple weeks ago he was supposed to sign a contract to rematch Bryan at Fastlane but Vince came out in the middle of it, said he wasn't a main-event dude and replaced him with Kevin Owens, but Owens is a face who's just sort of nonplussed by the whole thing rather than in on it

also Owens is currently being portrayed as a family-loving everyman and his new finisher is the stone cold stunner

this is really going a while for a preshow match

they had originally planned two preshow matches and changed it to one at the last minute, so they probably had to fill extra time

Definitely awkward. I hope Nakamura/Rusev can gel but they're clearly not so far. Plus, they're a tag team so they won't be given time.

given that Rusev was in a fantastic tag team that was the most over act on the card and still didn't actually get anywhere I have to imagine this entirely random pairing will appear once more in the next four weeks, then they'll be separate entrants in the Andre battle royal, and then the tag team will never be mentioned again

they turned their best heel into a face for a wrestlemania feud with shane mcmahon.

have sonya and asuka had a singles match before?

they had one at an NXT house show here that was boss as hell.

Boy, Mandy Rose is visibly not ready to be in this position.

That match was terrible but I am all for Sonya being freed from Mandy

I have this unfortunate feeling this concludes with Sonya on the Main Event tour.

all of the individual beats of storytelling in this whole thing are totally fine but the way they've been paced and presented has been completely insane.

it's incredible how they've been handed these sure, bone-simple wrestlemania things in Becky and Kofi and somehow decided this was a better course of action

they should stop doing his entrance like that if they’re gonna keep showing the table thingy ffs

This is the way they've been shooting it on the main roster since the beginning and it's completely infuriating

a 25 minute detour on PPV between the women's match and the tag title match.

Good god... so glad I just skipped over all that.

Anything notable happen in those backstage interviews or that Kofi match?

Shane McMahon was asked why he turned heel and he dramatically said nothing and then Elias sang again about how Cleveland sucks.

real fun match, but they of course couldn't get through it without emphasizing, just in case you weren't paying attention, that all of Raw's teams are chumps

also, to be clear, Charlotte had Becky in the figure 8 and was basically certain to win, so they found the worst possible way for Becky to look
