An Extreme...Mediocre Show

Warning: Spoilers
Kalisto Vs Apollo Crews was an okay match the right person won in my opinion

Dean Ambrose Vs The Miz (With Maryse) for the Intercontinental title was an exciting match with many spots that could have ended the match due to the DQ stipulation of if Dean gets Disqualified Miz would win the title but if Miz gets DQ Dean would keep the title. Overall a pretty good match.

Rich Swann and Sasha Banks Vs Noam Dar and Alicia in a mixed tag team was not really an interesting match but I think all four competitors made a pretty good impression however the match itself in terms doesn't appeal necessarily to me story wise thus I wasn't really invested or cared who the victor would be.

Alexa Bliss Vs Bayley for the Raw Women's Title in a Kendo Stick On A Pole match was an interesting match as it was the first pole match in the WWE in about 3 years and involve women with a dangerous object. The storytelling in this match was amazing. One of the highlights of the night.

Hardy Boyz Vs Sheamus and Cesaro in a Steel Cage for the Raw Tag Team Titles. This match was amazing with Jeff and Matt doing high spots that got the crowd popping and a huge back and forth between the two teams made this match one of the least predictable.

Neville Vs Austin Aries in a submission match for the Crusiserweight Championship was a kind of disappointing match for me, granted I like the spot when Austin locked Neville in a Figure 4 and Neville tried to reverse it but Aries used his momentum to roll back over in his favor, I have never seen that done before and was quite interesting. A good match but not as good as their previous two matches for the title.

The Fatal Five Way between Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt to become the number one contender for The Universal Title and fight Brock Lesnar at Great Balls Of Fire. This was definitely match of the night and that is weird for me because usually my match of the night usually goes to a match on the mid- card or the first match of the night. This match was just full of so much unpredictability due to all previous competitors winning big titles at some point in their career (Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt being former WWE World Heavyweight Champions, Balor being a former Universal and NXT Champion and Samoa Joe being a former and first two time NXT Champion) This match was just a great piece of wrestling and is the match the increased the overall rating of the show.

Overall pretty good only about two or three matches seemed to be weak in terms of story but in terms of wrestling WWE do an amazing job as usual.

Favourite Match - Fatal 5 Way
