Match by match thoughts:
IC Title Ladder Match- Overall decent match with a couple cool spots. Enjoyed Ziggler spamming superkicks, and I'm not sure how Sin Cara managed to hit that fall onto Stardust without his bones shattering. That suplex Zayn gave Owens onto the ladder looked brutal. The finish gets an incomplete for me. Definitely came out of left field, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If they give him at least a couple successful defenses it could be an interesting shakeup to the mid card scene, but if they just have him drop the title back to Owens tonight and he just goes back to tagging full time with Mojo on NXT then it just becomes a swerve for the sake of a swerve.
AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho- Second best wrestling match of the night, but I was expecting a little bit more. It just seemed like it could be a little more crisp, some of the transitions and counters felt a little sloppy. This is one case where I definitely don't agree with the booking, no reason your big new acquisition should be losing to a part timer who doesn't need the win.
The New Day vs League of Nations- A lot of people were bitching about LoN getting the win here, but it really didn't bother me. A month from now people will remember two things from this, New Day making their entrance out of a giant goddamn box of Booty O's (dressed in DBZ attire), and the post match segment with the legends. Everyone at my house was marking out hard when the glass shattered (although I was pretty much already there over HBK coming out) and it was a fun little segment.
Lesnar vs Ambrose- Fine, but a little bit of a letdown given the buildup. I guess inevitable given that this is the PG era and they involved Barbie and a chainsaw in the buildup. Still think it needed to be a few more minutes longer and Ambrose needed to take a bit more of a beating if you wanted him to still look good in defeat.
Triple Threat Match for the Women's Championship- The best pure wrestling match in a walk. Love the new belt and the reveal with Lita on the pre-show. I get why they kept the belt on Charlotte, and I think they had an eye towards the crossover coverage they would get as a result of rebranding the women's division. I still think they should have put the belt on Sasha though. Imagine the pop if they ran essentially the same match, and then had Snoop run over to block Naitch from interfering with Sasha, letting her get back in the ring and tap somebody.
Hell in a Cell- Well, we sure as hell got the crazy Shane spot we were expecting. I think this match needed a little more time with Taker being in control, because up until the high spot was booked a little too even for HiaC Mania Undertaker vs someone just back to the company who was never a full time wrestler to begin with. I was expecting some kind of outside interference here that never manifested, and I'm really surprised they didn't involve Vince in the presentation at all.
Andre Battle Royal- The most overtly spectacle part of the evening. Nice to see DDP show up again (and Tatanka as well). Shaq coming out was pretty random, but cool to see nonetheless. Glad to see Corbin get the win, he's been pretty great down in NXT since his match with Joe last August. Curious to see if he jumps to the main roster full time, and if so what they have planned for him.
The Rock- The whole flamethrower was really random, but otherwise I thought this was good. I know people are complaining about him "burying" the Wyatts, but let's all be honest, they are already DOA. Rock ripping off his pants to reveal that he was in his wrestling gear was a great moment. I'm curious to see if Cena's back full time or just popping in because it's Mania.
Triple H vs Roman Reigns- Yeah, about this... The only way this was going to work is with some kind of interference or twist, but instead they just had Roman Reigns show up and beat Triple H clean. The match itself was slow, and while it wasn't terrible, it wasn't great either. It's a pretty awful sign though that pretty much everyone there either left before this was over or stayed and booed. Evidently Roman called out Cena on the Today show this morning, which is what I can only hope is the beginning of a turn to a cocky asshole heel.
