[Samo]

We’re in that strange post-draft period of rebuilding. Sin Cara and Andrade had a brilliant match but fans dont seem to care because they’ve been conditioned to think Sin Cara is just a jobber. Need to try and forget everything pre-draft and go in with a clear, open mind.

Rollins and Humberto had an ace match aswell. Big endorsement for Carrillo, he can go far.

Street Profits are stupid over, even infront of a dead crowd like this one. Montez Ford has charisma by the boat load, he can go far. Good win for them too.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Unfortunately, we are all conditioned to know these matches don't matter. As such, it's hard to concentrate on them.

[Fernando]

I just enjoy that the majority of lower card people on RAW are basically 205 live people.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

As ever, it’s a roster that could put on world class matches from top to bottom.
