That was a really enjoyable PPV!
The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler was a strong opener. I hate the Miz because he's terrible at everything, but Ziggler put on a good show, and to my surprise won! Nice way to kick things off.
AJ Lee vs Paige was an excellent women's match for the 5 whole minutes they gave it. A lot of big moves, and that T-bone DDT was awesome. I'm glad Paige won too.
Jack Swagger vs Rusev was pretty bad. The injured leg thing always is. I really thought Swagger was going to win this one and end the feud, so I was surprised that he lost. I guess that means another month of the same thing. Bleh.
Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins stole the show. Being a lumberjack match, I thought it was going to suck despite the talent, but it actually enhanced the match a lot. It gave it that much more payoff when they were able to leave the ring, and Ambrose did a lot of good dives. I'll be glad to see this continue in future.
Bray Wyatt vs Chris Jericho sucked. Can't say I expected anything else from Wyatt.
Brie Bella vs Stephanie McMahon was just wrong. I shouldn't be surprised that Stephanie made herself look super strong throughout the match given who she's married to, but it made no sense given that she was helped out with Nikki's turn at the end. It should have at least been an even fight until then. Stephanie's outfit looked like it was made by NASA for a superhero movie.
Randy Orton vs Roman Reigns was incredibly boring, and the crowd let them know it. I don't know why they're backing Reigns when he's the weakest member of the former Shield. He's a one trick pony who hasn't evolved one bit since the split, unlike the other two. Same old punches, superman punch and spear.
John Cena vs Brock Lesnar was beautiful to behold. That start with them going at it then the F5 was a pleasant surprise, and Lesnar dominated for the entire match. Those german suplexes looked brutal. John Cena can job like a champ when he has to. I respect that.
By the way, I can't believe that we got an entertaining lumberjack match! I now want Rollins and Ambrose to have a series of dumb gimmick matches and make them entertaining!
It was a first!
TLC PPV, ladder match for the briefcase. Make it happen.
