Goldberg is seriously, seriously over. Also fantastic he'll be in the rumble (obviously Lesnar costs him, and they have a match at WM - so it isn't gonna be just a moment)

Owens/Jericho are just absolute gold. Their inevitable break up and feud will be just fantastic

Very enjoyable show. Think its a bit off that after Steph threatened all off the male team that only Sami Zayn gets punished for losing at the event. Also barring Roman Reigns and Jericho from ringside then making it a No DQ match? That doesnt make sense.

Strowman is fast becoming one of my favourites on RAW, never thought I'd say that.

New Day should turn heel again, could breath a whole new life into the gimmick and they could go well beyond 500 days as champions if it freshens things up a bit.

The Enzo/Lana/Rusev segment was gold too.

My favourite thing is Jericho turning up in a Sin Cara mask That had to be a creative smarkyness idea after their fight surely.

I read this morning that nobody in creative knew about the Sin Cara mask and they weren't happy with Jericho

I like the Nakamura hoodie as well, maybe a subtle nod there.
