This was a great PLE / PPV that didn’t appear to have the usual H bs until the very end.
One hell of an opener, now that’s how you get a rising prospect over without even having to take the L for them, Bronson has his best match against Roman Reigns who’s just at the top of his game and so smooth in the ring, Bronson was really up for it and for a big dude he’s pretty creative. What a reception for Roman, he’s in insane shape, the electricity around him is unreal and the man has as much ring presence as any of the top stars in history, the fact that hipsters would mention the likes of Tanahooshi, Okoochi or Ofaga in the same sentence as Roman Reigns is looking very embarrassing.
I was fine with Becky / Nikki, it was a decent match, the latter put on a better match then anything I’ve seen from Jade Cargill so far and she’s still ring rusty, Jade always looks like she’s working for the first time.
Cena / Logan, I hate Logan being given this match, look his character work we’ve said is brilliant for his experience levels but I’ve never bought into him as a main-event guy from day one and he is still not there yet, however, Cena helped him have his best match so far and it should be a good learning experience; Cena doubled down again on the fact that he doesn’t pick his opponents and I think that’s true or else he would never have worked with Logan, his influence is dwindling & there are better spots for him on the card. Good match though.
Sheamus & Russev had a war and the main-event involving the four way was also very good until Stephanie McMahon showed up to help H screw The Rock, maybe The Rock will get his W back at Backlash iA.
