WWE Championship match

Drew McIntyre[c] vs Goldberg

Wwe6are really good at having great short matches with Goldberg, they get their money’s worth from him for sure. I didn’t like the way McIntyre was portrayed in the beginning but at least he went over clean Goldberg endorsed him.

SmackDown Women’s Championship match

Sasha Banks[c] vs Carmella

Carmella has been good for years, no surprise this was a great match. Carmella wasn’t polished when she first got to the main roster but she is definitely championship material now.

Universal Championship match

Roman Reigns[c] vs Kevin Owens

Brutal, that’s what this was. They went crashing through everything that they could. Owen’s was a mad man out there and Reigns was no different. 12 out of 10 last man standing match. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Not sure what’ll happen to Owens but he has elevated Roman to a level far beyond what we thought possible.

Women’s Rumble

Surprise entrants:

Terrie Wilson
Jillian
Alicia Foxx
Mickie James

Winner: Bianca Belair

The rumble was done really really well, definitely some dead spots but the participants were ready to go and they all did their part.

Men’s Rumble

Surprise entrants:

Hurricane
Carlito
Kane(coming in at 18 for the number of times he’s been in one)

Winner: Edge

Edge vs Roman would be great, I hope that’s who he chooses to face because losing would further Roman’s career and end his on a high note. See Roman would get the rub and Edge would ride off into the sunset after boosting a great young talent, as it should be. I’m also ok with Edge beating Reigns and holding the title a while.
