He thought The Shield and The New Day had a ‘decent’ match, but a lot of the match felt like a cluster. The guys spent too much time trying to execute too many big moves, and this made the mach feel rushed and jumbled. He thinks sometimes less is more.

Lane points out that sometimes WWE just ignores their own rules. When Reigns picked up the pinfall victory, Ambrose and Rollins were standing in the ring and Lane points out that the referee shouldn’t have counted the pinfall until those guys left the ring.

 

Vito thinks Becky Lynch is a good, believable performer and he has no idea why she was the first woman eliminated from the 5 on 5 Women’s match. WWE consistently buries her and he has no idea why, but he thinks she clearly has some enemies backstage somewhere. There was an obvious botch in Alicia Fox’s elimination which was too bad, but he liked that Asuka was the sole survivor. He thinks something’s got to change with Sasha Banks because she’s lost her fizzle.

Lane wonders why we didn’t get a backstage interaction between Shane and Stephanie McMahon on this show because he thought that was a no brainer. Vito thinks that WWE might be waiting to play up that family storyline at a later date, when Stephanie and Shane can fight for full control of the company.

Vito says Baron Corbin defeating The Miz was the shock of the night in his opinion. He thinks Corbin has had one of the worst Title runs in recent memory thus far, but this victory over The Miz adds some credibility to his Title reign. The loss also doesn’t hurt The Miz because he didn’t really need a win here.
