I dunno - it still worked just because of the crowd reaction. If I remember rightly you got a glimpse of the Titantron saying “I Am” which was enough for me.

Yeah you saw that but missed him coming out with the hood up and reveling himself. He was halfway to the ring when they finally showed him.

I liked Botchamania’s quip about the Nia Jax entrance botch:
“Nia mistook the countdown clock for a wrestler and broke it.”

Stand and Deliver last night showed NXT needs to get away from the performance centre more often. Real paying fans over freebies any day.

They better treat Bron right when he gets the call

Think he'll been fine. They do need to take the NXT title off him though to freshen things up.
Don't think Brons style suits long reigns. He definitely needs a Gunther style run and remain undefeated. Don't put him in tag matches so you can have someone else take the fall.

100% getting Damage control VS Becky.. Lita and Trish At WM. Also laughed that Lita did a Jeff and danced on the way to the ring rather than run. |

Catching up with Dynamite and that Samoa Joe/Darby Allin match is absolutely insane. Darby kills himself for our entertainment and Joe is so good at killing other wrestlers.

I don't see Darby having a career in 10 years or he will have a Jeff style downfall.
Still good seeing Joe staying healthy.
Is Moxley drinking again? Seems off in recent weeks and fuck me you can see why WWE management ignored all of Sarayas ideas if this current stuff is hers. Bloody dreadful and they need to get Toni away from her.

Yeah, at least they're trying, but the Saraya stuff has been proper cringe.
Feels like most storylines are meh tier leading in to the next PPV, except for the one involving MJF, a familiar situation for AEW.
It's fine when you get 3+ bangers on a Dynamite, but when the match quality dips like this week you really notice the mehness of the storytelling.

They only want $9bn for the WWE.
Let's all put in.

But having said that last week's episode was awesome, aside from the Bunny getting injured from a botch   |

Ever since Mania 6 Hogan vs Warrior Toronto SkyDome I've had a thing for that Canadian pop. Looking forward to the ppv, kind of hope they put the belt on Sami even though it doesn't work for the longer term storyline

Tonight's reaction is going to be insane. It takes nearly 7 minutes before he even gets a word out, that’s some Yes Movement noise right there. The reaction to whatever the finish to the match is will be unreal either way |

Think they should have saved the theme return till tonight. But I'm expecting them to just chant and hold up the match for the first 5 or so minutes. Roman is great at doing the late kick outs anyways which is really going to add to it all. Still going with.. Jey costing him for some nuclear heat |

Bronson Reed has that Samoa Joe feel to him. Did a really good job getting him over.
Mens chamber match was pretty insane.

Yeah enjoyed that. Feel like Sami v Roman was an emotional match rather than a great match. Probably a good few years past Sami’s peak fitness. Looks like he came pretty close to gutting himself on that through the turnbuckle DDT attempt.

The ending was way overbooked and they were never going with Cody v Sami at Mainia. Cody returning has slightly spoiled this storyline for me and the tag team angle just isn't that interesting.

It was my first PPV in years so still getting to know a lot of the newer faces. Not sure it was a good idea to book Rhea Ripley in a losing match right after winning the Rumble.
Never thought I’d see Stardust main eventing Mania.

Finn taking the pin protects her IMO. Also Dom becoming one of the hottest heels is something I never saw coming.
If they do have him vs Rey at Mania the atmosphere is going to be something.
He should just wrestle the entire match like Eddie entrance and all.
