But also at the end of the day for me Brock is one of my favorite wrestlers ever and probably the second best thing about current WWE to me (outside of Edge) so I really can't empathize with people who hate seeing him on top. :lol

Really enjoining Miz/Edge just wish the commentary table would stfu

Yea, Miz/Edge was really enjoyable. Ending just felt a bit awkward with Beth coming out and then them playing her music after. :lol I think it could have been thought out better, but they both have really good chemistry. Surprised by how well they sync honestly, it's not a feud I ever thought of for Edge. It has ended up being one of the highlights lately.

I was pretty hyped this time. Brock has been having a lot more fun lately too, and has been doing great work. So I'm looking forward to seeing it play out. Plus that Lashley feud on the horizon helps tons.

For some reason I was expect a hard reset. Like even though it wasn't hinted at or anything just naming it Day 1 suggests change. A change it tone in response to AEW would have been nice. A bit more 'attitude'...

I didn't get that from Day 1.

But the main event was pretty good.

I will admit Brock has been better this run. I like his new look and he seems like he’s finally having fun. I still don’t like that a part timer is taking the title from a full timer though. ESPECIALLY considering it was a spur of the moment decision. I just don’t see why Brock NEEDS the belt right now. Like there’s no reason for it :lol

Migos was there was because the show was in their hometown of Atlanta, they did the theme song for the show, and WWE was probably trying to appeal the young audience demographic like from 18 on by having them appear on the show.

Knoxville in the rumble is all for promotional purposes for the upcoming Jackass movie. Celebrities have done in the rumble in the past to use as a promotional plug for something (Drew Carey in the 2001 Royal Rumble)

I think what is cool about him compared to other celebrities is if they approach him to do a spot/bump, you know he'll be gearing to go. He's probably done crazier shit in the movies.

I think from a storyline perspective it does make sense to keep Bobby chasing for the title. Realistically they were gonna have Bob or Brock win if they want to do this feud. Then you'd ideally have Lashley beat Brock imo, but not 100% confident WWE would do that.

Hoping this main-event bangs, as this PPV has been fairly dry

Brock winning isn't a shock - but the fact he only does two moves isn't a good look
