I don't even think the stuff about Bray was necessarily kayfabe either, he just said "I'm not gonna act like we were best friends" and yeah that could be bc they feuded on screen but also they barely shared a roster together I imagine they didn't know each other until last year so it also just makes sense, I wouldn't want him to act like he was a best friend

He was tasked to honor Bray, hype a PPV match with Miz, and get the crowd hot for the main event and he did all 3

Also I didn't mention it earlier but having Rowan front and center at the beginning was nice

That was a nice opening segment, I'd have closed the show with the chair but I'm glad they did that anyway

Yeah I don't know, Rey vs Grayson doesn't sound like the match I'd book for a Bray/Terry tribute show

So Bobby is pushing the Profits to turn heel but he's still a babyface himself?

It's a shame Braun is injured and Erik isn't working for the company, I would have loved to see them in the main event just like the Dark Order was when Brodie passed away. I still think it's great that they invited Rowan and put him on front.

it was a pretty good show as far as tributes go, but I can't help thinking they could've done better with the booking and involved more people who worked with Bray.

I thought it was a great show with some really sweet tributes throughout. That opening video package wrecked me.
