You know I thought a cash in would be a little “meh” tonight.

This is actually some good storytelling going on here. F5 to Braun, throwing the case. God stuff.


Now Roman gets a beat up Braun.

Roman is finally Universal Champion after some shenanigans.

If Braun cashes in now, Roman will retain because of the beating he got from Brock.

Roman actually won and kept the belt. Maybe Brock/Roman is finally over after all.

Pretty good show all around, imo. MOTN for me was either Rollins/Ziggler, Miz/Bryan, or Gulak/Alexander.

Reigns/Lesnar was good for what it was too, imo. I didn’t mind the finish either.

Watched this live for a change and honestly thought it was a pretty good show top to bottom and for once it didn't feel like the show was drifting at any point.

Looking back on it now, it feels like a rare occassion to me at least where the vast majority of the booking just made sense.

- Seth winning the title because the numbers were evened up, made sense.
- Becky being given an edge after losing the match, made sense.
- AJ snapping on Joe due to the family being brough up, made sense.
- Miz beating Bryan due to underhand tactics, made sense.
- Ronda ragdolling Alexa and winning, made sense.
- Corbin/Balor & Owens/Braun which were probably going to be the two weakest matches on the card was done well and kept shorter than both entrances combined.
