-- WWE MITB PPV Reax

Tenacious D. (7.5): Best Match: MITB Contract match. Worst Match: Summer Rae vs. Layla. Going into this event, I think we all knew that Rollins was going to be the MITB winner and I think we all knew Cena was going to win the title match... The action in the MITB match stood out above them all as it was a treat to watch, while RVD looked the best he has since returning post-Mania. I almost believed Ziggler was going to win it, gutted he didn't. The Ambrose and Rollins rivalry has the potential to entertain us for some time and watching Ambrose explode on Rollins had me on my feet cheering... I thought the Wyatts vs. Usos opening match would be much more of the same, but I'm glad to say there was great energy that made it fresh and exciting... My rating would have been higher if the PPV had not lost momentum after the MITB match and if WWE's recent Creative low points from recent months had not started to present itself, including Rybaxel vs. Rhodes Bros... Who was Big E. trying to impersonate in his promo? The man has really lost the crowd and waving Old Glory is the only thing getting the crowd behind him... The main event wasn't at the same standard as the other ladder match and was just a "spotfest" with no promise of a shock. All in all, a good PPV.

Tim Impila of Chisholm, Minn. (7.0): Best Match: MITB Ladder Match. Worst Match: Summer/Fandango/Layla nonsense. Major highs and lows for this show. The Tag Title match was tremendous. The Usos have come so far and Harper and Rowan are tremendous; usually by now I'd be worn out by a rivalry that has had this many matches, but these four work flawlessly together and still have tricks up their sleeves so I hope it continues! ... Paige and Naomi was a lot better than I expected. Naomi is talented but Paige is still being booked terribly. She's supposed to be a face, but the face spots were primarily for Naomi... Sandow is wasted terribly and Adam Rose is fun yet aimless... MITB was completely amazing. Ziggler once again showed he's got the fanbase on his side, Kofi illustrated why he's infinitely in line for an actual push, Swagger was actually relevant, RVD was inspired and spotlighted better than in any of his recent returns, and Ambrose and Rollins stole this whole PPV for me with their effort, passion, and intensity. This was their coming-out party, bravo, gents... Glad to see the Rhodes Bros. continuing on...Axel remains a drain on any match... Big E. tries, but is completely impotent in the charisma department, while Rusev and Lana continue to be a total success thus far to me... MITB 2 was decent at points, but too hectic and disjointed. Eight was far too many for this match and I think it led to people who should've been focal points becoming background noise like Bray Wyatt. Cena's win made me sigh profoundly, but if it leads to Brock Lesnar getting his long-delayed return win, it was worth it... Good show that could've been great with more time devoted to a very weak mid-card and better planning in the main event.
