I'll give it a 7. Predictable for the most part for the stuff they didn't change around, but for watching a show due to nothing to do, I was entertained and it had decent to good matches.

Where were all the swerves bro??? :

 

[Solid Snake]

The PPV before mania, you can't expect much.

 

[Snowman1]

Just reading the results rating gives this show an 8. They packed a lot of stuff into what looked like a paint by numbers show

 

[The Sheik]

They tried to make every match mean something and there was some good storytelling.. That's more than they usually do.

I'll be generous 8/10

 

[Redboy123@]

A very satisfying PPV. 7/10. That main event was great.

Mustafa Ali was terrible though

 

[SWL]

they did about as good as they could have. Fastlane PPVs usually get the shit end of the stick because everyone just wants to get to Mania, but I think they did good here.

• Shane turning on Miz makes little sense to me, yea Miz lost the match for them which sort of justifies it but what now? Miz is a terrible face and personally I'm not really dying to see Miz vs Shane at Mania either. And they're supposed to do whatever I want because I'm a wrestling fan and I demand it. I think they should have just kept them a team for a bit longer tbr, they were doing pretty well with that
• the Raw tag title match was pretty good, would have been a tad bit better if it was an elimination match but still good. Glad the Revival got the win though, given that they constantly take Ls on Raw
• Samoa Joe's US title run is off to a good start, I hope they keep it up. These guys are doing the midcard a huge favor atm
• The whole Kofi thing was actually pretty sick ngl. They even got people to chant for Kofi during the WWE title match which was most likely their intent. Even though Ali didn't get a pop at all, and got treated like Rey in the '14 Rumble at the beginning of the match, he kinda won them over by the end of it. He was obviously the spot-monkey of this encounter and I think it worked out well for all of them. Now off to Kofi vs Bryan
• Flair/Lynch was whatever, we all knew that Becky was gonna get added to the match so it might as well not matter how they do it. Besides, Ronder Rouser told me this shit's all fake anyways so Becky must've seen it coming. I hope we get to see one of Becky's epic and insane tweets about it tonight though. I love Becky and her ultra epic tweets. Did I mention that I can't wait to read her next epic tweet?
• the main event was such a Shield match. Fighting in the crowd, Seth jumping off of things, breaking the announce table and capping it off with a triple powerbomb. It turned out way better than I expected and I really enjoyed it. Even if this whole Dean thing is a work, which I still doubt, it was a very cool moment at the end regardless.

overall good show, I'll give it a 7/10. On this forum it seems to be the norm that weekly shows are received terribly but PPVs get rated quite high, even if it's just a B show like this one

 

[Mr. Roman Empire]

Mustafi Ali coming out to those Attitude Era like pops ?

The crowd was soooo quiet when his music hit

 

[Redboy123@]

Mustafa Ali kicked out of the pop up powerbomb onto the apron. Isn't that a kayfabe career ending injury? Typical vanilla midget not knowing how to sell

 

[Death Walker]

The PPV before mania, you can't expect much.

OH YEAH, THE HELL I CAN DAMMIT!!! LOL That's just WWE using it as a cop out. I bet you we get a couple of shady, if not terrible weeks right before Wrestlemania. Just watch, Snake. ?

 

[Death Walker]

Where were all the swerves bro??? :

Well, they did get away with that Kofi Kingston stuff and the one with Shane was kinda of one but I think a lot of people just wanted Miz or Shane just to finally end the buddy scenario.

 

[Redboy123@]

Lots of swerves bro.

 

[Death Walker]

I rated this show a 7 out of 10...decent booking, some potentially good to dull stories to develop, a great Fatal 4-way match, new Kofi/Vince "feud"?, 2 heel McMahons (guessing Steph & Hunter will return to the dark side as well) & a good clean match for the "last ever" Shield match (as WWE kept reminding the viewers that Dean Ambrose have not renewed his contract...sketchy as fuck, WWE. I'm waiting for your tricks.).

All in all, a bit of confusing and lousy choices but nothing totally stunk up the joint.

7 out of 10... sighs

 

[Crash]

I agree with most of you for 8/10, I only got to catch the first match last night but I rewatched the show today. I must say most matches were great even the ones that were not important. I am thinking Wrestlemania will be great this year and I know I might be wrong but the card so far looks very good.
