Vito thought Daniel Bryan looked out of practice in his return to the ring, but still looked good. Russo didn’t mind Bryan getting protected early in the match by having him attended to by paramedics, but he didn’t like that Bryan took another apron powerbomb in order to accomplish this. He points out that this is a dangerous spot for someone with a history of neck/brain issues.

Russo doesn’t understand why Elias didn’t tag with Strowman last night. He thought both talents were wasted on the show, and since these two guys were in a program with each other several weeks ago, WWE could have easily tied them together creatively for this match.

Vito thought Undertaker coming back was a success and his entrance was probably the happiest part of the show for most fans. Russo says this match told him something about Cena. Cena went to work and did good business last night, and that’s why he’s a pro.

Vito commends all 4 performers in the Mixed Tag match. He thought it was a fantastic match and he was impressed by Rousey’s in-ring work. He does warn that when you start at the top like Rousey has there’s only one way to go, so she needs to be cautious moving forward. Russo thought all 4 performers and WWE as a whole did an excellent job here. He thought the match was much better than he anticipated, and it was probably better than WWE anticipated as well. However, he adds that if Rousey would have tapped out Triple H the roof would have blown off of the building.
