The big question is:
Do the wrestlers have to wait for the plane after the event again?

I hate WWE

How can they f*** up such an excellent character like the Fiend.

The only positive thing is that Wyatt shouldn’t got the belt that early and maybe they‘ll book him the right way - starting with demolishing John Cena

I can't believe they actually put the **** title on Goldberg, again. As if KO's downward spiral after dropping the title to Bill wasn't enough, McMahon is doing it again to Wyatt. Again.

Vince McMahon is so predictable. I knew they would do this once the match was announced.

Goldberg winning and squashing opponents even at age 53 never gets old for me!

Please for the life of jeebus don't **** accept losing to Reigns, Bill!!

Based on the review I'm reading, the two world title matches were a combined three minutes and thirty seconds. So stupid.

Apparently the Goldberg/Fiend match took less time than their entrances.

That's understandable (if not exactly exciting) for a Brock/Ricochet match. It makes absolutely zero sense for a character who has been built the way The Fiend has been built.

I'm very curious (read: skeptical) to see how this Goldberg/Reigns program goes. They're both faces at this point; Goldberg just beat a heel who is massively over, and Reigns just beat a heel that nobody really cares about at all. Goldberg is arguably better positioned to keep the title (if they hotshot Reigns *AGAIN* there's going to be big backlash), but a long-term reign makes little sense for Goldberg either. Just baffling.

I still try to give WWE a chance, but I'm not sure how any wrestling fan looking at WWE & AEW in a completely unbiased matter could possibly conceive that WWE is a better product right now. As long as Vince is running things, **** like this will continue to occur.

Haha, Goldberg is still an attraction.
So this means that we will also see him at Wrestlemania. To me, it is no real problem. BUT: His matches are now so short.

I don't entirely disagree with you! If they want to put Goldberg at Wrestlemania, no problem with that to me either. If they want him to feud with Reigns, I find it an odd choice but why not.

But I feel like they could have done all this without the title. So I don't see why they put him up against the Fiend, and I really don't see why they had it end in basically a squash. That is the confusing part, to me anyway.

At this moment, nobody needs that title. There are only matchups between wrestlers without real storyline. Reigns, Fiend, Rollins...when you go to these names, you realize nobody uses a title, because there is no background story and in my opinion the belt is useless right now

This is the worst booking decision I've seen in my entire life.

Yeah bury the hottest heel that this company has had in the last 5 years and put the world title on a geriatric part time Goldberg.

Only WWE could something this dumb happen. They'll be out of business if they don't start pushing younger wrestlers not named Roman.

Didn't watch but did he no sell the jackhammer after the pin? It's Bray, he can always talk his way out like Fiend losing interest or something
