I kind of skimmed through it since I got home late.
Ziggler was a surprise, but the IC title prestige is nothing. They need to build that title so a win actually means something great. I hate that most titles have become just a prop. I think I liked IC title matches more than the World title matches.. on top of liking the IC title most of all titles.
Paige beating AJ was a surprise to me. I have a feeling AJ isn't too far away from leaving and joining her hubby.
Bray and Jericho.. I had really no interest. Jericho comes in and they try to push him as a former world champion and all that.. but he loses when he comes back. It's a cycle. Fandango beat him at Mania, and yet Fandango is a mid card now.. which I like Fandango. They messed up with him.
I thought the Ambrose/Rollins match was good. It was probably the best lumberjack match I've seen in a long long time. I think they made the right call on this one. I am a huge Moxley/Ambrose fan, and have been for several years. I say give it time for him and he'll be shining. Rollins needs to be kept somewhat in the spotlight being part of the Authority and briefcase winner.
Stephanie vs Brie was as expected. I had a feeling Nikki would turn, and when I saw her come out ... I knew it was going to happen. I wasn't surprised. Stephanie did pretty damn well in the ring.
Brock and Cena was great. Terrible wrestling match, but story wise great. I'm not a Cena fan as his character goes, but I can't argue with his heart about the business and doing what he does for Make A Wish. Cena did the honors to make Brock look dominating after Brock ended the streak. Cena also helped the Brock beating Taker story.
_________________________________________
How I would book or change things going forward:
I would put a twist in the Bryan/Adultery story. Push that girl in the mix with Brie, and since she's an actual wrestler, have them fight at a ppv. Later, let it be revealed Nikki was the one that slept with Bryan and she turned on her sister because Stephanie and HHH found out about it.. and she had to do whatever necessary to keep the secret sealed. This would lead to a Brie & Bryan / Cena & Nikki / HHH & Steph feud. I'm not a big Bella fan, but I think the story could be interesting.
Let Paige try to friend every diva, and be girly like.. like she's doing with AJ... and be what she was in NXT.. the "anti-diva" and push her as the top of the diva division. I'd even bring back Lita or a few others for appearances, then Paige to have a match and win. Michelle McCool returns as the pretty girl you don't want to mess with, and beat Paige. The rest of the divas go after Paige which would leave McCool as the champ by herself... then bring in Karma? or Beth Phoenix? or default to AJ to feud for the belt.
Bray needs to do LESS wrestling on television in my opinion. He's a great wrestler, don't get me wrong.. but let his words and stories carry on TV and his fighting be on the ppv. Don't give him a title quite yet. Let Rowin and Harper win the tag belts (they need to boost the tag team titles).
I would have Ambrose causing hell on the Authority nonstop.. HHH.. Kane.. Rollins.. Orton.. etc. Eventually, HHH turns to Bray Wyatt.. Bray agrees IF HHH gives him something... HHH says "anything, just get rid of Ambrose." Eventually, Bray reveals he wants Stephanie.
There are a million ways to do things... eventually I'd bring back Vince saying he told Bray to get Stephanie because he wanted HHH and Steph out of the way because they were ruining what's best for business. He promised Bray power if he did what he did. This sets up Bray vs. HHH at Mania.. and Bray gets the win.
I'm done.
