So I've got a couple of thoughts here since I slept on it.
A) To everyone saying this was a bottom dwelling WrestleMania....well all I can figure is that you guys haven't watched VII-IX, XI-XV, 2000, or 24-29. Last night in my eyes was more entertaining as an entire show than all of those....there were some one off matches (Brett v Shawn Ironman, Bret v Austin, E&C/Hardy/3D ladder matches, etc) in that batch that were great though.
B) On the finish....I'm wondering if Brock isn't going to show up to a UFC presser with the Universal Championship to give that title some rub. It's pretty much a common thought that titles have meant basically zero to the WWE for the last several years. Maybe they are going trying to bring some prestige back to the title and use it to get some of the young guys over that will be coming up to the main roster in the next year or two. If that isn't the case I'm not sure why they left the strap on Brock....unless Roman is no longer the guy they want carrying the company right now.

Someone earlier in the thread said it was the ref's son.....I predicted when it happened that it was a worker's kid.

After sleeping on it, a few things:
1) Rousey fight was MOTN.
2) Best entrance was Nakamura;
3) Completely confused about the Universal Title situation if Brock doesn't drop it tonight.
4) Heel Nakamura will take him to another level.
5) Seems like with the extra media from the event we are definitely heading towards a women's main event at WM35. Not sure how I feel about that.
6) Did not like them burying Asuka.
7) Braun deserves a championship run and is over af.
8) Daniel Bryan will be back in the WWE Title picture AFTER Summerslam.
9) Was hoping for an Aliester Black call up but hes the NXT Champion, so maybe Cien Almas?
10) The set again was tGOAT.
11) My rating before Main Event 8.5/10, after 7.5/10.
Edit: My pick rating 0.25/10

Yep....still think a mouthpiece could help him...especially as a heel.
quote:
6) Did not like them burying Asuka.
Yep...this basically makes Asuka a regular diva way before she should have been. At least pay off the "undefeated" angle with a title run. I wonder if she stays on Raw now?
quote:
7) Braun deserves a championship run and is over af.
Yep let's hope this Nicholas thing doesn't last long.
quote:
8) Daniel Bryan will be back in the WWE Title picture AFTER Summerslam.
I hope so....I think you are right on the timing...I bet they take this KAMI thing up through Summerslam somehow.

I think Cien was always coming up. I think we'll also see Ember Moon and AoP....maybe a surprise as well.

So you don't think they maimed Asuka's character last night?....an undefeated lady beast is now handing the belt to Charlotte telling her she was ready for Asuka when nobody is ready for Asuka....if that's not a burial I don't know what is.
I mean literally how is Asuka any better off right now in the pecking order right now than Bayley, Sasha, Alexa, Becky, or Naomi?

Someone clearly undervalued what happened with her character last night

Btw, someone from the Women's division on RAW absolutely has to go to Smackdown.
Rousey is about to run that world.

I'd say that that would be Bayley or Sasha....but they are working to a program now.
There is jus to so much good stuff they could do with Rousey and Alexa, Nia, and Asuka. I'm skeptical that it will be any of those. I wonder if it could be Bayley and Sasha moving to Smackdown and maybe send Becky back to Raw???? The superstar shakeup could be interesting.

I think they are about to be done with the brand split.

I think that would be awesome personally....BUT I think there is too much talent on the roster right now to make it work without it.
That is unless they drop some folks. Rumors have been swirling for a while that there will be several unexpected departures after WrestleMania.

Asuka needed to lose. She probably should've lost to Ember Moon before she left NXT.
Besides, I feel like the winner of tonight's match is eventually going to get jobbed to Rousey soon anyway.

That was brutal to see over and over....I think Paige has to be on the way out...unless this whole career ending injury thing is a work.

Agreed. She shut every doubter up, including me. Just a phenomenal athlete and it showed. Beyond impressive and seeing Stephanie "get her's" was satisfying.
quote:
2) Best entrance was Nakamura
Agreed again. Seeing the live music incorporated in the entrance was great. Also loved Rollins' entrance. And New Days' was hilarious.
quote:
3) Completely confused about the Universal Title situation if Brock doesn't drop it tonight.
Brock doesn't fight for free, and no one is set to challenge him. Reigns isn't owned any kind of rematch and doesn't even deserve it. He was brutalized 90% of the match and Brock won strong and clean.
quote:
4) Heel Nakamura will take him to another level.
Nak vs Daniel Bryan feud would be awesome
quote:
5) Seems like with the extra media from the event we are definitely heading towards a women's main event at WM35. Not sure how I feel about that.
If it's Rousey vs Flair, then you're in good hands.
quote:
6) Did not like them burying Asuka.
Hardly a burial. Charlotte is great and doesn't deserve to lose either. The streak had to end, and it did so in phenomenal fashion. No shame in tapping. Lesnar has done it. They all do it. Except Cena...
quote:
7) Braun deserves a championship run and is over af.
1000X agreed!
quote:
8) Daniel Bryan will be back in the WWE Title picture AFTER Summerslam.
He looked phenomenal in the ring and the crowd is still massively over for him. Bryan vs Styles at SummerSlam would be incredible.
quote:
9) Was hoping for an Aliester Black call up but hes the NXT Champion, so maybe Cien Almas?
Cien Almas screams midcard. Might get pushed more due to being a Latino wrestler. I expect Authors of Pain to be called up soon.
quote:
10) The set again was tGOAT
It was beautiful. 10/10
quote:
11) My rating before Main Event 8.5/10, after 7.5/10.
I think my rating would be around 8/10
Pros:
Roussey and Stephanie tapping
Brock winning over Reigns
Charlotte/Asuka match
Bludgeon Brothers with a much deserved win
Daniel Bryan
Cons:
No Demon Balor
Lackluster main event
Styles/Nak didn't live up to hype

I don't agree with any of that. If anything, we will be an Asuka vs Charlotte match two more times for an epic trilogy.
Charlotte wins the first one.
Asuka wins the second one.
Coin flip for the 3rd one.

I went back to watch Nakamura’s entrance. My god he had so much charisma walking down the aisle. By far my favorite entrance of all time.
Despite the quality of the match I stand by my opinion that it should have gone on last. It told the best story and had the biggest shock of the night. Imagine going off air with the groin shot and heel turn.
