Speaking about the WWE Title match between Nakamura and A.J. Styles, Russo wonders why Styles doesn’t just start wearing a cup. He points out that both guys were counted out after kicking each other in the balls, and he points out that he’d probably be raked over the coals if he would have booked that finish.

Lane wonders what the point of the tag match between Strowman/Lashley & Owens/Zayn was, pointing out that it was just brutal. Russo has no idea what this match was, adding that he can see WWE heading towards Lashley versus Strowman at some point in the future, but we have to suffer through all this stuff in the meantime.

In Russo’s opinion, the biggest question surrounding the main event was which colour trunks Joe was going to wear. We all knew Reigns was going to win right from the start, especially with Joe having the majority of the offence throughout. It was only a matter of time before Reigns hit a spear out of nowhere for the win, and a 10-minute match would have done the job. Instead, WWE booked such a long match that people were leaving the building.
