It actually would've been a Super Reigns moment had he defeated The League of Nations clean as a sheet. This one was via DQ.

Main events don't end clean on SmackDown, pal!

This show was just sad.

Good stuff:

-A theme for the night: Here, they really tried to put the factions over, which makes sense. In kayfabe, Wyatt should be the favorite to win the Rumble since there's 3 henchmen who'll just throw themselves out for him, leading to the ultimate 4-on-1 advantage... League of Nations had a relatively good night you won't remember tomorrow because it's them...

-Wyatt vs Ryback, solid match, they work well together. I've had fun picking out what kinds of opponents are good for certain guys - Cena vs Indy guys, Sheamus vs bosses, Miz vs longtime WWE guys, etc... And both of these guys are the two most unpredictable dudes in terms of match quality lol

-Becky vs Alicia: Match was solid, Becky gets a clean win, champ holds up the belt. Boom. All you need

-Kalisto's promo

-Since I didn't see Raw the ending beat down was fun. Apparentky it went exactly like it was on Raw except without Brock.

Stuff I didn't like:

-The Factory of Sadness that was the opening segment: Chris Jericho in 2016 cutting promos that are just dying out there and just being dumb while mainly recapping everything that happened on Raw, New Day crying over a trombone which is funny but they, like Jericho, have falling stars that are sad to watch, then Ziggler who we all loved dearly just a few years ago being the poster child for Kofi Kingston/MFL syndrome and it's sad to watch, leading to a WWE style tag match with no real point than to continue to AJ Lee book the New Day (should call that New Day booking now, maybe Rollins booking?)... Yeah a lot of this was fast-forwarded through.

-The second Factory of Sadness that was MizTV. A back and forth promo between Ambrose and Owens felt like something I've seen a billion times. Owens had some good lines - and Miz got wrecked, always a plus - but... This should be a dream segment. Can we call these two up to NXT?

Titus vs Stardust in the most pointless feud ever. Can you not have a promo segment? Geez...

-A five-minute main event that ended in a DQ for kicking too much ass and Mauro trying to get lame shit like this over. At least the Usos came out for the save for a change, before the Wyatt's attacked. I guess the point of this was to reestablish the Family?
