- Joe Tessitore/Wade Barrett/Bret Hart/WALTER/Sami Zayn segment + attack

- Jey Uso vs Ilja Dragunov vs Pete Dunne vs Braun Strowman + Bronson Reed crushing Braun Strowman onto the announce table from the barricade outta nowhere

Personally, I feel that WWE, and HHH specifically, dropped the ball with the IC Contender's match.

1. They went with the most obvious choice in modern wrestling history. Let's give Jey the win, because he's the most popular. Never mind, that they could have made several other interesting choices. They could have made it a hoss fight with a Strowman win, or a brawn vs skill match with Dragunov, yet, they went the path of least resistance. This leads directly into problem number two.

2. Just like Hell in a Cell between Bray and Seth, WWE has, once again, shot themselves in the face. Bron has just begun establishing himself as IC Champion, and they cannot risk pulling a knee-jerk victory for Jey,, because that causes two problems of their own. One, that decision would severely cut the legs out from under Breakker, and two, if Jey loses (which he should), will destroy whatever momentum he was building all these months.

Way to go, HHH! You have yet again, painted yourself into a corner!!!

Wow they let Jackie do a whole tribute for Johnny Boudreaux

Dunne busy with Sheamus, Strowman busy with Reed, Ilja not booked strong, so Jey is left. Bron v Jey put on a banger and no man loses momentum with a loss - Sami lost 2 months before he won at mania. Bloodline gonna screw Jey somehow too to help setup wargames.

I wish the Wyatt Sicks used Live in Fear instead of Shatter, I can't stand that song.

 

[Y2Jayne]

New guy doesn't know the difference between a chokeslam and an uranage but he works well with Wade

 

[Y2Jayne]

Nikki hasn't received reactions like this since her Sanity days

 

[Y2Jayne]

Jeez, that was such a fun match and they end it with a mere splash

 

[Y2Jayne]

Cargill really needs to win the rumble and get her solo run.

 

[Y2Jayne]

That PFC theme song is pretty cool

 

[Y2Jayne]

Oh wow the mystery partner was Natalya

I only saw one segment of this show and it was Gunther telling Bret Hart that Goldberg was his favorite wrestler 10/10 show

Good main event, just wish Ilja had won.
If Jey beats Bron...
