Triple H Jr is back!

Oh thank god hes back

Guess they have to turn him face or the crowd will do it for them.

Thought the fatal four way was superb

Fatal four-way is a contender for match of the year, was superb

And seth is back!

The Fatal Four way was superb. It shows what you can do with a good build with good guys. Excellent match and everyone comes away looking better. Match of the Night by a long margin, Match of the Year candidate, and as close to a five star match as you can get. Solid 4 1/2 *.

The main event was excellent again. Styles really brings the best out of Reigns. If I had one nit pick I would have had a bit more time between Styles hitting the Styles Clash on the chair and the pin happening to make Reigns kickout more feasible. Other than that another solid showing.

So happy Rollins is back. I hope they dont try to book him as a heel because it just wont work.

Everything else about the PPV was pretty average. A solid B+ event.

Kudos to Jericho taking the Thumb Tack spot. He never struck me as the type who would and its still one of the few spots in wrestling that makes me wince.

Overall thoughts

Gallows/Anderson are pretty meh for me, as was their match

Rusev being booked as a monster again is good, Kalisto put up a decent fight but couldn't overcome the odds this time.

New Day are boss as usual

As said above, fatal four way was superb as anticipated. Really good storytelling, some fantastic spots and everyone came out looking strong. Also think the right winner, Miz a very underrated wrestler and character in my eyes, also keeps the feud going which is good

Ambrose/Jericho was slow and clunky, they haven't clicked at all and quite frankly I just don't get the Ambrose character at all. Fair play to Jericho for taking the tack spot, but I can't say he'll be missed too dearly now he's off again

Charlotte is just

Reigns is getting a lot lot better - think he's a much better performer in these type of matches, rather than technical ones. Styles obvs was boss too. Rollins/Reigns should be quality if booked properly

The Miz really is awesome, he's been so good since he won the IC title again.

I do wonder whether Rollins returned as a face or heel. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here, especially with Bray Wyatt returning soon who also had a face turn. Then there's John Cena too.

I don't know where Styles goes from here, I can only think of a feud with Balor (once/if he's called up)

Fantastic PPV.

IC title was match of the night and in fact my match of the year.

Styles vs Reigns awesome! Also a shocking moment without it wrecking the match.

I've said it a few times, but I really think WWE has turned a corner since a lacklustre wrestlemania.

This is the perfect time to make reigns a monster heel. Ready made motivation for Rollins stealing his moment, and the crowd from him. Rollins is an easy babyface, and it should be money
