Just watched the show. Giving it a 5/10, it was decent. There were definitely some results that I haven't seen coming.

The Wyatts vs The Usos was definitely highlight of the night. Everyone was on their A game, really enjoyed that match, every bit of it... On the other hand, I'm really annoyed The Wyatts didn't get the win. I guess that's kissing their momentum goodbye, what a shame... At this point, I'd rather have new WWE Tag Team champs. The Usos are okay, but The Wyatts are awesome... Luke Harper, especially!

Rusev vs Swagger was good, it was obvious Rusev was gonna win, in order to keep the heat and the anti-American thing going. Glad they let Swagger put on a fight, instead of just being squashed, like they did to Rusev's previous opponents.

Rollins vs Ambrose. Damn, was that a bummer, man! Guess they're saving it up for SummerSlam!

Y2J vs Bray was damn good. I was surprised to see Jericho taking the win, not that I'm bothered with the decision... I was just completely sure Jericho would lose... But I guess Bray's lost his momentum now, as well as Luke and Erick. Such a shame. Would be cool to see these two at SS and Bray getting the win, to get back his momentum, if there's still any of it...

The Battle Royal was alright, nothing too spectacular... It had some good moments, in some felt like it dragged a little bit, but overall, it was alright... The Miz winning the IC title was good, I guess, from a PR standpoint. Not my personal favorite/choice, but fuck it. I was rooting for Cesaro and Ziggler, too bad Cesaro is also one of those that've lost momentum. WTF are you doing, WWE? FFS.

Cena vs Reigns vs Kane vs Orton for the WWE-WHC was better than I expected. It was fine. Still bummed about Cena being the champion, but hopefully he loses it to Lesnar at SS.

Looking forward to watching RAW tomorrow, once it's uploaded on the site.

Just finished watching it and gave it a 6/10 myself., which I feel is pretty fair considering how predictable it ended up being.

In the predictions contest I only missed the pre show outcome and the tag team champions outcome. Yeah, that's right, I even nailed the Miz (from what I saw, I was actually the only one to get that one right) as winner of the Battle Royal which, if you think of it, made pretty much sense. Cesaro may had been top candidate but him losing his momentum lately made it a no no and from the other 18 superstars, one could perhaps argue about Ziggler. Dunno, I personally felt they would give it to Miz for a run and that's exactly what happened.

The opening tag team championship match was by far the best and the only sad part, in my opinion at least, was that the Wyatts did not get the gold yet again. Gotta give props to the Usos, no doubt, but I really felt it was time for a change. Anyway, I guess that does it for this rivalry so it remains to be seen who will be next. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing the Usos against Goldust and Stardust. Granted, both are liked by the crowd but I really think these two teams can provide us with some really entertaining matches.

Cena retaining was just as expected, same for A.J. Lee while Rusev's win was also the rather obvious outcome. I'm pretty sure the feud will continue and I think it's rather safe to say that Rusev's undefeated streak will end at Summerslam, against Swagger of course.

Off to watch RAW...
