Main Card
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
Cody wins by pin.
He truly was peacocking on Peacock.
He sets me adrift on memory bliss.
To me, Cody works better in WWE with the way he’s presented.
As for Rollins, he’s doing some of his best work right now.
The match itself was fantastic.
It was a brilliant showcase for both men, with no one coming out of it looking weak.
Regardless, I don’t see anything topping this match tonight.
It’s just that good.
9/10
Chris: Here’s a hot take: I like Cody Rhodes.
I know, it’s super mild, but I mean it.
He manages to take the tired super pro-America gimmick and make it not feel tired.
When there’s “Freakin,” which is Seth’s nickname.
So, already, a heck of a matchup.
As for the match itself, it’s two of the best in the industry doing their thing.
What’s not to love?
Beyond that, the two threw all of their signature moves at each other and it was flat-out great.
That said, I’m fine with it because I’m very curious where each man goes next.
Good luck, the rest of the show.
The bar’s been set pretty high.
Bobby Lashley vs, Omos
Omos wins by pin.
Mat: Let’s be honest, these guys aren’t sowing the seeds of love together.
Anything is possible, though.
They could leave this match best friends.
Poor Bobby Lashley, he’s working so hard to make this match watchable.
He’s carrying this the best he can, and it’s still herky-jerky.
Nothing Omos does looks like it has impact at all.
MVP helped him get the win, which does nothing for the character.
When it comes to working a back and forth match, it’s not great.
So, like, what is the Omos character then?
3/10
Edge vs. AJ Styles
Edge wins by submission.
That’s what we’re waiting for.
Something will happen, and hopefully, I’ll be head over heels.
So Damian Priest comes out and then Finn Balor comes out to stop him.
However, a person in a hoodie gets involved, and then AJ Styles ends up losing.
But who was that person in the hoodie?
As for the match, it was fine.
Even the new music is growing on me.
I don’t like the stable name Judgment Day but I don’t have to agree with everything.
Also I’m making a last minute prediction here, you ready?
I think Finn Balor will turn heel, joining Judgment Day.
That said, I love this for Rhea Ripley.
Mat: You know what’s kinda weird about this match?
She’s not going to quit."
It was then followed by Charlotte saying, “Happy Mother’s Day.”
A couple of very memorable moments there.
And as a plus, Charlotte isn’t champion anymore.
It was a solid match, and an “I Quit” match that didn’t get too over-the-top.
Seth Rollins has had like 13 amazing characters in that time.
This was a pretty fun brawl, honestly.
It made no sense.
However, Charlotte wrenching Ronda’s back over a handrail in the audience?
That was flat out perfection.
Same goes with Ronda trying to rip off Charlotte’s arm while Flair was hanging from the top rope.
Just enjoy the insanity unfolding in front of you.
8/10
Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss
Moss wins by pin.
I’ve got to shout, and let it all out.
Am I supposed to be rooting for Moss?
5.5/10
Chris: Happy Corbin still has the best thing song (outside of Retribution) in wrestling history.
But, honestly, Madcap Moss has a pretty incredible song of his own.
The loser of this match should have to give up their entrance music.
These are both guys you’d avoid at all costs if you saw them at a party.
The match was nothing to write home about and probably went on a few minutes too long.
Drew McIntyre & RK-Bro vs.
The Bloodline
The Bloodline wins.
Mat: While everybody wants to rule the world, the Bloodline is doing so in WWE.
And then there’s Drew McIntyre, super nice guy.
And I also don’t care much about RK-Bro vs.
There’s a lot going on here that just doesn’t interest me.
I hate the term “high-octane,” but I’ve already written it.
And in a setting of six wrestlers, that’s a lot of fun.
They might be my favorite commentary duo right now.
This match actually went the opposite way I thought it would.
The Bloodline once again proved they are the best, but that doesn’t lead anywhere else.
Chris: I wonder which belt Roman considers his primary belt?
Also, the Bloodline’s entrance is at least two Undertaker entrances long.
Much like Charlotte, Drew’s character has stalled out.
That would be a fun character twist but they never actually acknowledge it.
So Roman getting the highly-anticipated tag to step into the ring against Drew fell flat for me.
It also doesn’t help that this match started very slow and methodically.
So slowing things down so much felt off.
Thankfully, it didn’t stay at that pace.
This match was at its best, though, when Roman was destroying and showboating.
Because, ultimately, that will be his downfall as Super Big Dog Champion of WWE.
Eventually someone will get the better of him when he least expects it.
Also worth noting is that there is some seriously great chemistry between the Usos and RK-Bro.
And Orton’s RKO show never gets old, even though it’s been going on for years.
Dare I say it, am I starting to like RK-Bro?
That would be crazy.
See you at Hell in a Cell.
