I am feeling bad for Orton and Edge cuz this match has actually been good and they clearly put a lot of effort into it, but the experience is being detracted by something completely beyond their control.

Why is Randy, the ultimate dastardly heel, paying tribute to Eddie?

I like the overhead angle and they should use it more often.

Piping in so much crowd noise in such a sloppy way is really drawing attention to the fact that it's actually an empty arena match. It's a shame cuz I am liking the actual match.

They are piping in fake crowd chants!

This match is frankly ruling

Hahahahahaha okay now I'm laughing

Edge def has become a much better promo than he was in his prime run. Just playing himself instead of "Rated R Ultimate Opportunist" probably helps.

Why is almost no one in WWE creative team actually funny

I can't

That ball was moving so slowly towards his groin he had the time to stand up and literally kick it

Annoying finish but really good match.

Always been an MVP fan. I'm glad he's getting work again.

Yeah, they were strangely quiet during this handicap match.

Corey Graves. Is. Singing. This will end the world quicker than covid.

I mean, we are talking bottom of the barrel here. Mauro can be good when he's restrained or produced well and Cole is completely artificial and basically a video game announcer, but he is not actively annoying as often as Graves.

I feel like, despite this being a handicap match, this match is making Miz and Morrison the faces. They are using smart strategy while Strowman keeps bumbling into their traps like an idiot.

That was awful. Corey Graves is the worst commentator ever and anyone who disagrees is wrong and has horrible taste.

Credit to Bruce Prichard, this Sasha-Bayley angle is being done really well. It's solid long-term storytelling.

I know Raw was taped, but as far as Backlash goes, wasn't just Edge-Orton taped and everything else is live? They could easily have redone the taped Raw if Vince had decided to change the finish.

I know it's too early to say given Heyman was removed just a couple of days ago, but hopefully Crews retaining is a sign Vince won't get cold feet on him. I've been a fan since his Uhaa Nation days.

It probably still would work as a general rule if WWE did not spend all their time hyping all such events from the past, because they book as if the current era sucks and the real cool stuff is available on the award-winning WWE Network. I think it was Loss who once said WWE has now become a legacy promotion, and if you keep focusing on your legacy, you cannot at the same time expect fans to not remember such incidents. Particularly in the internet era where everything is available at the stroke of a button.

I'm not a big fan of Bobby Lashley but to call him "chocolate Jake Hager" is ridiculous. Lashley has done plenty of solid to good stuff in his career, whereas literally the only way Jake Hager is tolerable is if he is mean-mugging for Jericho in the background.

I had the advantage of being able to ff through the commercial breaks. Absolutely loved the match. Bryan has been having solid-to-great matches every week since the pandemic began, at a time when no one else in WWE was able to figure out how to have good matches without a crowd. He's a wrestling genius imo.

Is the AJ-Bryan match worth checking out?
