It did not take the crowd long to start cheering for Lesnar against the Authority. Were there seeds planted for a face turn? Cena’s “Ash-Hole” joke fell so flat.
How great was it to see Bryan have that match with Wyatt?? Awesome match. Obviously Wyatt has to go over to look like a credible Rumble participant. The important thing was that Bryan looked flawless in the ring.
Legends Panel was what it was. All 3 got huge pops, HBK was the loudest though. Gotta say if people don’t want Reigns to win the rumble, they didn’t show it with the massive pop he got.
Ambrose needs a feud but sucks Barrett has to take another non title loss. Ambrose was way over here. I’m sure people haven’t forgotten what he did here at Hell in a Cell.
I dont know what to say about New Day. When their music hit, you could hear the crowd audibly groan, but they were chanting along during the match. So I don’t know.
What a damn great segment involving NWO/Outlaws/APA/Ascension. The only way the Ascension push makes sense is if the legend tag teams step up to the plate. APA got a pop that damn near blew the roof off. That was incredible to see. Now they just need to let Ascension use that rub to their benefit.
Obviously some filler between that segment & the main event. Was R-Truth’s entrance longer than his match?! Mizdow is way over still. Wish they’d give him just a little more though. His X-Pac was dead on.
As the world’s biggest Sting fan, that whole segment was a blur. That ending FELT like when Austin cost Rock the title & Foley ended up winning the title. The crowd erupted when Sting came out & then just got even louder when Cena got the pin & then got even louder when they chanted YES and We Want Sting. What an amazing ending to the show.
The Advertised dark match main event of Cena vs Rollins in a lumberjack match obviously did not happen.
