AJ/Finn is going to be amazing, & it'll be interesting to see Angle get back in the ring for the first time in the E in a long while. Outside that though this PPV is pretty bland & bleh. Probably the only two interesting matches.

WWE got caught hard on this one. They don't have Brock wrestling and they put 8 of their top guys in one match.

Then we get a mumps or meningitis outbreak that takes a few more guys off the table. WWE really took it hard.

Doubt Angle really even does too much inside the ring, kind of like Goldberg. He's just a name value for the match & to make up for Reigns being off the PPV.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

Also it's time to take the title off Brock & put it on someone whose going to be there on a weekly basis. A guy like Braun or Joe would be the first couple names to pop up in my head.

To be fair I'm hoping he is protected. Angle doesn't need to take powerbombs off the turnbuckle through tables.

I think like Jinder we need to expect him not drop the belt right now. Jinder will probably by the end of the year, but I'm sure Brock is being saved for WrestleMania. I believe this is Lesnar's last run with it, so I'm OK with it.

Imagine Jordan replacing Angle... That would piss me off and most of the fans I think. But him joining and making it a 5v4 could be good.

I've considered that and I think most of us would be righteously pissed off. I can see the Cancel WWE Network trend already.

Jason Jordan coming in mid match to even the odds would be great storytelling, though.

I can see Jordan taking the place of Angle, or being added to the match to even things a bit. I thought they would save Angle's first match back for Mania not a sub-PPV like TLC. Thought Angle would face someone like Cena or AJ at Mania for his first match.

Honestly they should have kept AJ, or Angle a surprise for the show. Sure it wouldn't have helped whatever tickets they're trying to sell, but man sometimes surprises are better then knowing what were going to get. What made some of the fanbase back in the day is a good ole surprise. Though tonight I am not excited for the show. AJ vs Balor has too much hype I see it being just ok. The TLC match has no story, and lost a key power guy in the match. The other matches are just standard too me. I am surprise there isn't another stipulation added to this show, but eh it is what it is.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

At least last year you had New Day vs. The USOs vs. Lucha Dragons which turned into a decent match.

Can't say WWE doesn't short change their audience....Throw on a major return and a dream match when your roster gets hit with some viral infection.

Sure is better than replacing khali with big show.

I see Kurt coming in the match and cleaning house with some belly to belly suplexes after a hot tag. I think Kurt can still go because before he got the role he's in now he was working Indy dates and still looked fine so I think he'll be okay.

Finn vs AJ has the potential to steal the show in my opinion. I was actually looking forward to The Demon vs Sister Abigail just to see how bad it was going to be, but I'm totally on board with this replacement match.

 

[TheOneKnownAsFetter]

AJ Styles/Finn should be the main event, instead of that 5v3 cluster fuck they decided to do with almost little to no back story behind it. I think Kurt will get in & do a few things, his match against Cody Rhodes in the indies was pretty stellar. I just feel like they're saving him for Mania for one big match before he rides off into the sunset.

You mean that AJ and Finn had more time to build a program. and wasn't just thrown together too?
