I'm assuming you just explained why Roman Reigns was there. So that people would pop when Randy Orton eliminated him as otherwise I suspect the reaction for Orton winning would have been much more muted.

There were so many hilarious moments on this PPV from so many people.

Smackdown a couple of weeks ago. She was La Luchadora and her explanation for allying with Bliss was that she felt Becky and the Horsewomen were disrespecting the legacy of those who came before. Which is why she obviously decided to avoid Charlotte and Sasha, because she is also an opportunistic heel.

Something I absolutely loved about the four undercard title matches was that they made them all feel very distinct in pacing and style:
-Charlotte/Bayley focused on character moments with Charlotte truly flourishing in her evil queen persona which was the carrying force of the match
-KO/Reigns went full metal mayhem and…

I did think the review brought a really important point concerning the history of TakeOvers. The first truly breakout TakeOver was the second one, even if the first one was considered a success, and that TakeOver was carried by the title matches that had a minimum amount of story. This was in many ways a TakeOver of…

The Seth Rollins run-in was the moment of the night for me. Not only was the execution great with him cutting off the commentary and it feeling like a real surprise, that fire he was showing was superb. And that battle with security was just so great, even if it was the first time in ages when security was able to…

I really liked the Mickie James promo and reasoning on Smackdown, even if that drawl was a bit much at times, but then she went on TS where we got further evidence how bad Shane is in that position while also having Mickie basically state that she is going to stab Bliss in the back. Yet overall a promising return and…

I have to admit, I'm still struggling on how I feel about that Cena/Styles promo segment, even beyond that it somewhat exposed Styles's issues with longer promos. I thought it was effective for setting up the Rumble and Cena probably winning, but for some reason it also made me constantly think on what after. Cena's…

I feel slightly guilty about being almost shocked how good that main event lumberjack match was. Even going in to it, I knew the Miz was great and that Ambrose had already once managed to deliver the only great lumberjack match I've seen, but the format for those matches is so messy that I was kind of just expecting…

I'd argue that an important thing to remember with the PPV streak is that they kind of stumbled on to it. Leading to SummerSlam, they basically thought nothing of it, with even Sasha has stated that before the injury scare she was supposed to retain there, and it only really became talking point going in to HIAC,…

I completely forget that he wasn't in the 2015 Rumble match, probably because that Triple Threat was one of the 2015 MOTYs and thus associated him so heavily with that event.

For me, and I'll admit my biases quite willingly, that Charlotte promo basically saved the women's title feud for me as not only did Charlotte absolutely crush it during that interview, it finally gave her character fitting motivation which in turn helped to give this coming title match narrative weight outside of…

This episode reminded me of something that makes WWE so great as they just had this great lines through-out the episode that were so awesome yet so impossible to explain to someone who doesn't follow the product. Some examples:

I absolutely loved the story they did with Seth on this Raw and it somehow managed to make me even more intrigued by the Royal Rumble. Even the details were great, such as the way he made it clear both before and the match how important being in the Rumble was for him, especially since he didn't get a chance to do it…

Apparently he headbutted the door while doing his entrance. It led to the joke/legitimate question that did he also concuss himself during it.

Huh? I meant registered to the police that there people kept literally disappearing when they were going to do those medical check-ups. Or is the assumption here that none of the kidnapped victims had any close friends or family to whom they told where they were going.

You know, after this episode, I'm starting to think that Alex might not be the easiest of girlfriends as her mood swings seem just drastic. Maggie truly has a patience of a saint. Also, I feel it's fair to assume that Maggie is not long for this show, is she? Maybe that transfer to Gotham City is looming closer and…

There were three very small things that drove me nuts in this episode. I realize that they were minor, but the just constantly struck at me.

James as the Guardian continues to make me groan everytime he is on screen. The character is just such a blatant rip-off of Batman while lacking any of the thematic mechanic required to make even homages to that character, see Oliver Queen, work and ends up feeling more like a parody character instead of an effective…

But to me, the way they shot it indicates that is exactly how she dies. She walks through the last moments of her life and kneels down to pick up the bottle only to see the shopping carts roll towards her at which point it cuts to her jerking awake. If we hadn't heard Michael's version of the death, we would all…
