Awesome. I've sent you a PM by the way.

Where you going to be sitting? Anywhere near the ring, or way back behind a pillar?

I love how the Uso's are rewarded for injuring American Alpha, the team they just lost to and beat down afterwards, with another shot at the belts. WWE logic is great at times. Should have just kept it as American Alpha against Rhyno/Slater and if Gable can't wrestle then it's a 2-on-1 situation.

I think it's great. Not only does it allow Slater and Rhyno to win the whole thing without American Alpha taking a loss, it also leaves a perfect opportunity for Alpha to get a rematch - and when they win the titles, heel Usos are ready-made challengers.

Oh yeah, I love that it allows Slater and Rhyno to win and doesn't hurt AA from losing the whole thing... just find the logic funny. Prefer it this way with heel Uso's (who should have turned heel last year along with Reigns). Slater and Rhyno are going to be massively over, a lot more so than they would have been going against AA.

I'm actually super pumped for hell Usos.  They've been needing a change.

I'm down with the Uso turn and all the logic. It's been that way for years. I was just watching the conclusion 3 Stages of Hell between HHH and Austin...SCSA loses clean yet still challenges Rock for the title the following month in their best match ever on the best WM ever no less!

This logic along with the hometown hero losing 95% of the time never fails in WWE hahahaha

Was a good ppv I thought. Very entertaining. Only blight was the Bray match. Why have him lose? And to Kane. He should have been booked really strong for when he faces Orton when he's fit.

Love that AJ Styles won the belt. Let's hope he has a nice long run. He's one of, if not the, best thing in WWE right now.

Decent show. Slater/Rhyno v Usos, Miz v Ziggler and AJ v Dean all turned out to be good matches. The rest of the show was pretty forgettable.

I actually thought it was one of the better PPVs this year. Only one average match (still disappointed with how that ended, Bray needs to be booked stronger), with the rest above average to really good - highlight being the main event, AJ is so good it's ridiculous.

I'm really liking what I've seen so far.  Love the pop that Heath Slater was getting.  He has done an excellent job with this story.

I never, ever thought that Slater would get over. The change in look has helped I think, and the booking of him has been superb. It's probably taken WWE by surprise as well, but I hope they keep it going. Would be a shame after all this to just let him drop off. He's good enough in the ring, confident and good on the mic. They can easily turn him into a believable mid carder, which is hell of a leap from jobber status.
