Which way do they go with the Reigns/Uso match? Finger poke of doom or Roman laying waste to Jey?

Great show. Great main event. Great story. Great ending. Roman is great.

They are 100% building to Roman/Rock at Mania and I can’t wait.

This is the roman that we all wanted. Hes literally perfect as a heel.

I don't really understand why they went the way they did in the Orton/Drew match.

The face got help from three outside people........and Orton kept fighting back. Thats not the usual face/heel dynamic at all. Felt weird that Drew needed that help to win.

give us a real match, an Orton attack after and those beatdowns after the attack or something. Dont weaken Drew.

Piss poor WWE Title match. Night and day with the Universal Title bout.

In other news, Shin and Roman with their new gears look badass

Great PPV.

Roman looked badass with his new gear/no top. He’s clearly worked on his physique in recent months — dude looked buff and chiseled.

I think it's a problem they've had since Stone Cold. Every badass wrestler that connects with the audience is launched into the top babyface spot without consideration for the proclivities of the performer. As you said, Roman is clearly better as a heel and feels more comfortable in that role. And it's easier to write great material for that character, as we've seen recently.

They (and AEW and everyone else, quite frankly) still have a huge problem identifying what makes a good modern top babyface, but it was never going to be what they've tried making Roman in the past. Maybe it's just the case that you can't have your top guy be a babyface in 2020 - doesn't matter who it is.

If that happens, it's a life-saver for the WWE. The heel turn really was a perfect setup for it. Everyone... will watch that Wrasslemania. I might even buy some WWE stock.

Lots of ways to go with this one. I could see Roman getting darker and darker, and more and more vicious, eventually leading to a point where they could get Rock’s daughter (an NXT trainee) involved. This angle has so much potential if Rock can make it work

Maybe his time off was actually spent getting pec implants like Rock did. :lol:

Wasn't the Rock's operation to take fat out of his pecs?

Might have been. Either way, I just remembered he had some work done there.

Wow great PPV the best one in ages...

- Innovative classic Ladder match that really elevated Sami Zayn stock
- Good Ambulance match with the story coming full circle to this point. Hell in a Cell with no interference next?
- Better late then never with the repackaging of Reigns now only thing left is new theme music
- Did not miss Rollins, Strowman, Fiend, Corbin, Miz etc on this show at all

Roman's turn has been done to perfection. Heyman is playing his part well too. Loved the look on his face Jimmy threw in the towel. Liked he's helped unleash something that he quite fully doesn't understand.

No way they do Roman/Rock in front of no crowd

If they do have a crowd, the ticket prices will be like Super Bowl tickets. It'll be one of the biggest events in rasslin history.
