It's like color theory and lighting poo poo, the small version (which people can click to hurt themselves) doesn't dominate the screen space so your eyes don't get hosed around by it as much.

The two matches that were good (Sami/, Owens and Big E/Apollo) should have had five minutes longer. The Raw women's title match was fine, let down by an unenthusiastic crowd. The main event was good until that finish.

It's also pretty hilarious how Bianca looks like a star now, but Rhea is like...supposed to be an edgelord or something? Except everything she does is incredibly embarrassing.

Also lets not forget how WWE completely misread the room tonight with Bayley. When the Bellas attacked her, the audience booed them. Probably not the reaction WWE wanted or expected.

Well hell, two awesome main events is better than we get on the average Wrestlemania, and it was fun to see the crowd again even if it came across as the lowest energy WM crowd ever which I totally wouldn't have expected. Hard to say how much of that might have been WWE messing with the crowd sound though.

I don't mind Roman winning so someone who isn't on retirement's door can beat him at Summerslam, Rumble, or the next WM. If Rock's crazy enough to do another match then having Roman keep the title and having that match at WM is worthwhile too.

Yeah they showed up when Bayley was celebrating and getting pyro (for no reason but whatever). The Bellas showed up soon after and tried to insult her, she attacked them, and they attacked back, laying her out. The audience hated the Bellas.

Back at the Thunderdome. There are rumors they might allow very limited numbers of fans in, but I can't find any real sources on that.

1. I would simply not book a main event around people on the verge of retirement if I did not want to prominently feature people on the verge of retirement in my title scene
2. I think they could have found a way to get the belt back onto Roman before January or April 2022. They even did a triple threat so he didn't have to get pinned and lose his HEAT

I over waiting for someone to work out that you beat Roman by having a friend take out Jey.

Rhea looked absolutely amazing in the Rumble but they haven't been able to recapture that energy since.

Also the Bellas thing, ooooof. It deserved all the boos.
