They meant Nia look like a monster while telling a good story with the match. Kudos to all involved.

Charlotte's robe game keeps getting better and better.

That was pretty much guaranteed the moment they got moved up to the main card

They're running the Raw women now? They are starting this show hot.

Great match even if I'd like to have seen Y2J walk away with the victory. This has been a really strong PPV so far.

Okay, putting one finger on the rope was a brilliant detail.

The sky looks so great at the moment with the dark just making everything seem so much cooler. Here's hoping it stays that way.

I think this is the first time they are doing this here, although I think the lack of the weekly writers hurts it because they aren't promoting this in the social media.

They included the List of Jericho to his entrance? They are really managing ot make entrances look really good in this set.

Decent to good match, much better than I expected. It was a Shane match in the sense that it still built for those couple of crazy spots that was essentially most that there was, but they told a good story leading to it and Styles worked like crazy to get Shane to those spots.

But it isn't that protected. A lot of people have kicked out of the Styles Clash.

Shane looks alarmingly winded already. And not in a worklike way.

By the way, you can't say enough good things about the WWE production values. Just from the sets to the vignettes to everything.

The shocks keep on coming.

Looking back, surprisingly good Kickoff show where two of the matches felt meaningful and well worked while the Memorial match did what it was supposed to and gave us a celeb moment.

Ambrose winning was surprising and felt fitting as the story was about how he wouldn't stay down. And as quiet as the crowd was for majority of the match, they did seem to get a kick about Dean retaining.

What would have been bumped out for the women? The IC match was the clearest option, as sad as it makes me.

It still means something, being on the Mania Kickoff show isn't that bad. When they moved the SDL women there, something had to come down.

To be honest, I thought Dean deserved to be on the main card, but it is what it is. And at least being on the Mania Kickoff show isn't that bad. Also, they've gone through almost all the matches, so the IC match should at least have time.

Would make sense, I can't remember the last time someone just utterly stopped Gronk like that. As a NE fan, I'd be terrified to see her on the defense.
