Review:
Stage: I really dig the color scheme. I am big on stages and presentations. Let’s be honest there is only so much they can do but they make good use of what they have.
Match of the Night: That is really hard to say, there were some solid bangers. Jeff Hardy and Cesaro was a solid match. I was really impressed with how Cesaro was able to not only keep up but work well with a highflyer. The Bayley/Tamina match was a solid hard-hitting just what it needed to be. The match of the night has to go to Seth Rollins Vs Drew McIntyre. I think it’s the best match I have seen Drew in. He proved to be a champion tonight.
Overall Impression: it was a decent Pay-Per-View event. But it felt like it was a filler event. The Matches were solid but It was missing something, not sure what but something. May the Money in the Bank Match didn’t do it for me. It was entertaining, I am glad Asuka one. Interestingly they are pushing Otis. We will see where it goes.
Final Thoughts
A fun event, it seemed to run a little short. Great staging, solid matches, but did feel like a fill-in event to get to a bigger event. The superstars killed it.
