Ross liked Jinder Mahal’s United States Title win. Whether we want to admit it or not, foreign heels are still a thing, and Mahal plays that role perfectly. He adds that the U.S. Title is not hot right now, so whoever won this match was going to have some work to do to rebuild that Title’s credibility. He’s excited to see what Mahal can do with that opportunity.
Ross thought Undertaker and John Cena had a good match after a very unique build. Even when he left the arena that afternoon he still wasn’t sure whether Undertaker was in the building. He says Undertaker is a warhorse and he loves him with all his heart.
If he was booking the tag team match between Daniel Bryan/Shane Mcmahon & Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn, he would have had a bit more shine for Bryan early on because that’s what fans wanted to see. He thought it was a good effort overall in a tough spot since this match had to follow Undertaker/Cena.
Ross says he loved the Styles/Nakamura match but he expected more. He thinks fans were fatigued by this point in the show and this played a part in the overall presentation of the match on television. He loved the heel turn at the end because Nakamura will probably be a better heel in WWE at this point. These guys also have great chemistry so having an extended program will be great in Ross’ opinion.
