Wrestlemania

Saturday

Best match by far for me on Saturday and indeed the whole weekend was Becky v Bianca. Unique offense inside and out of the ring, great back and forth countering of signature moves. Really played out for the crowd a treat. I really enjoyed it.

Charlotte v Ronda not so good. Some decent technical ability on display but for me the timing was off in some of the moves and that made it difficult for the crowd to get into. The ending was a bit lazy again and I think that continued use of that sort of controversy starts to tire after a bit. I suppose it keeps the story going for the next section of the year though.

Boogs / Nakamura v Usos was shit, McIntyre v Corbin was ok, some good selling - it was never going to be fabulous though, Mysterios v Paul / Miz was quite good, entertaining and much better than I thought it would be. Cody v Seth was a bit hit and miss, thought it took a while to get going. Again though, it might set the story up for future shows.

The KO show - meh. Predictable and gave the crowd what they wanted with Stone Cold.

Sunday

I think Brock and Reigns did well to continue that going for a while. It was very same old, same old though. Not sure if that wraps up the story, just don't really know where they go next if it does go on a bit longer. It's all a bit tiring now.

Enjoyed the triple threat and fatal four way tag matches. I think in the past they've ruined things with too many of those kind of matches but these worked for me.

Very disappointed with the Edge v Styles match. It was bizarre - they both looked knackered after only a few minutes into the match. Laboured, slow, difficult for the crowd to get into. It seemed so quiet during the match. Interesting ending though with Damian Priest seemingly becoming a member of a new heel faction with Edge.

McAfee/Theory/Vince/Stone Cold obviously a comedy set up, same for the Knoxville v Zayn madness. Entertaining for the kids and fans of the jackass show.

Lashley v Omos and Sheamus / Holland v New Day both rubbish.

So they are back to Normal ;p

and what have they done to Elias made him shave his beard and given him a new name

he looks like a wish.com bradley cooper

I usually now give up after the RAW/Smackdowns after Wrestlemania lol but might give it a little go this time.

I liked Bianca's promo on RAW, selling that pearl of a shiner caught from Becky's foot. She's definelty grown in stature and confidence. 2-0 at Wrestlemania

What a massive let down Raw after Wrestlemania was from start to finish was, including a botch with Cody Rhodes entrance, bizarre booking, especially with Rhea Ripley & Liv Morgan, no big returns or call ups from nxt and no feuds or storyline set up going forward

Would like to think a Reigns Rhodes feud would be good

I think they might be turning Bianca heel. Her promo was good, plus she seemed to encourage the heat from the crowd with the extended "best-est" speech.

Not sure about that she's always been very heelish. But I'll take a wild guess Rhea is turning heel on Liv next week and possibly joining Edges group.

Not as wild a guess as you think. I've seen this being reported from several sites/sources etc that Rhea is joining Edge's new faction

See there was some call ups from NXT UK to NXT last night as well as more bizzare booking

Looks like one-half of MSK Nash Carter has been released after claims of domestic abuse from his wife Kimber Lee came to light.
