WWE are doing dual brands for the rest of the year now that Wrestlemania is out of the way and this is the first. Not a bad card really. Has the potential to be a good event. I'm glad that they're cutting down the PPVs though... there was too many. Does mean that some people won't make the PPV or that we'll get more tag matches to get more people on the event - Lashley and Strowman teaming? Strowman should be tearing up the place on his own. But this is what we're going to get now I reckon.
Aye it looks like a decent card. Since the Universal Title won't be defended, I hope Styles and Nakamura have a lengthy third match. Give 'em 30 minutes, why not?

I would love to see Nakamura vs Styles reach a 60 minute Iron Man match because they continue to have a non winner. Sick.
Once a man would spend a week patiently waiting if he missed a stage coach, but now he rages if he misses the first section of a revolving door.
Should be an entertaining PPV this one. Shame that they're going to ruin the brand split already, but knew this would happen eventually. Going back to the same things that ruined the last one with people turning up on other brands just because they're now sharing PPVs. Oh well, dismantling the brand split will help the womens division massively, and the tag division. Probably all of it really.

That isn't the case at all.
The only reason we're seeing RAW v SD matches is cos we JUST had the draft. They aren't going to dismantle the brand split, nor would it help anyone. Ending the brand split would be bad - for everyone.
This shared PPV system is better than a PPV every 2 weeks, which was getting a bit much.

Not saying that they are dismantling it, just that they're going to head that way if this continues. I don't buy the draft as a reason either. Samoa Joe and Reigns didn't move from Raw. What reason was there for Samoa Joe to be on Smackdown? None at all.
I do like the less PPVs a month thing though.

Was he?! Well how the fuck did I miss that?! See this is all confusing now. Draft should end feuds. I suppose I retract my statement then.
Brilliant... Not gonna lie, I forgot Joe had been transferred as well... I used to know who was on what brand by the PPV since I barely watch the weekly shows... Not anymore!

Yeah but you now don't look like a dick for complaining about Joe being on Smackdown, despite making the post about who was now on what brand 😄
This was so poor. Brilliant opening match, really wouldn't complain about them doing more of those two. Then it went downhill so far. Styles and Nakamura brought it back up, but the finish was awful and the fans hated the shit out of it. Get why they've done it, but they can continue the feud by having an actual winner.
And that main event. What a low way to end the PPV. The fans really don't care for Reigns and to be honest, anyone tuning in for the first time wouldn't care for him at all either. Not a good main event at all.

You're spot on. Those two matches were the only ones worth mentioning and the finish ruined the latter match.
