So. Rollins eh? There are no words.

I thought the Cena/Owens openig of the show was very good, and Neville looked good in defeat again.

The Divas division is in an absolute mess, which could have been avoided if Naomi had been given the title at Elimination Chamber. Nikki Bella's promo was very wooden, and I'm still unsure whether she's a heel or face. She wrestled a heel, but wrestles in a heel style. I've got no interest in her match with Paige, who also has been misused terribly.

The Money in the Bank match has got no heat going into it. When a guy who's not in the match is the highlight of the go home promo, you know you've got problems.

Ziggler/Kane was passable. I'm in two minds over the Rusev/Lana/Ziggler triangle. Rusev's working really well as a despicable overbearing heel. I think Lana's character is being reduced badly. It's like creative have forgotten that she got over by being smart and capable, and a now reducing her to a damsel in distress. Likewise Ziggler being paired with a love interest is nothing new for him.

I quite enjoyed the Miz TV segment. I thought all three men played their parts well. The smark in me thinks it was a mistake having Ryback shell shock Big show. It won't have the same impact if he does it at Money in the Bank.

The J&J/Rollins match was fine. In a way I hope this is the last we see of Noble and Mercury. I've enjoyed them, particularly Noble, but they've served their purpose. Hopefully Rollins comes out of MitB winning cleanly against Ambrose. The fact that he's grown insubordinate to Stephanie and Hunter may lead to him angering them enough to bring back Lesnar.
