That's more then your average number of Fireworks.

I don't even watch Raw normally but can officially say I hate Byron Saxton.

Revival and DIY got the idea that they couldn't stand each other more in a match they were working together then these 2 have in a match were they are fighting each other.

Yep, that's the best Asuka singles performance in over a year, and Ember comes out looking outstanding, and much more legitimate then she was before the match. I had no expectations for this Takeover, but I'm having a blast.

It's interesting, since there's a legitimate claim Asuka's best opponent on the Indies was Ember, at least on the US side.. It feels like there chemistry from the indies is playing here, cause this is the best Asuka has looked like in a big match so far.

That might not have been the peak of the NXT tag division, but it might be close. And if Revival are leaving, it's probably only downhill from here. But holy fuck, whoever has put together the Revival/DIY series needs a lot of money.

They've done an amazing job in this making the AOP feel like a terrifying threat, while DIY and Revival look like incredibly talented people who just can't hang with them physically.

This has fucking ruled.

Somehow the Nigel screw up didn't surpass ring announcer botching the AOP entrance to epic levels.

I'd be so happy if DIY and Revival team up to take out AOP and then give us one last run of those 4 against each other.

I'm pretty sure Almas is probably the best man in NXT right now in the singles game. He's so much better as a heel.

I thought the match bored me to tears, honestly. It was a bunch of nothing most of the way, and desperately needed to be about 3-4 minutes shorter. A Braun Strowman/Roman Reigns match needs a 90 second long rest hold sequence like I need a hole in my head.

Are you fucking kidding, just a clean loss? That's it?

I don't think anyone came out of that AJ/Harper finish looking better, which sucks cause the match before the bullshit was awesome.

I mean, let's be honest, that's almost all of Seth's promos.

I will forever remember this match as "That time Homicide got backdropped on top of me" That said, was a very strong match, and one of the best crowd brawls in RoH. Low-Ki, Homicide, and Joe had such an amazingly strong presence at the time, and the Lo-Ki double stomp looked like death.

I'm both really looking forward to Strowman/Reigns and also really really not looking forward to Roman winning. Braun is so awesome right now.

He still took the Sister Abigail like he was fucking Marcos taking Alex Shelleys Shellshock though, so props on that.

Quite clever booking really, even if I didn't love elements of it. I do love that it took Bray about 3 and a half years to beat Cena clean, but he has finally done it.

In kayfabe, Miz is a "not great" wrestler who gets by being arrogant and finding ways to cheat his way to victories. AJ Styles is incredibly tough, incredibly talented, and on a different level then Miz in terms of actual wrestling talent, he's also just a total dick. It makes sense to me.

I'm not sure if this will be the best Elimination Chamber match ever, but it's doing a hell of a job telling stories with the characters involved.

That's a fantastic way to eliminate Corbin while completely protecting him.

I liked they made Harper look pretty damn even with Orton, and didn't burn the Lariat with Randy kicking out.

I mean this with no offense to Kendrick, but that argument holds up better for Paul London, who was an even better Kendrick at the time. Kendrick right now is probably the best he's ever been. Also, let's be real here, Kendrick in 2002 had "better skills than anybody on the roster"? The same SD roster that had Eddie, Lesnar, Benoit, & Rey?

Maybe it feels off saying this about a guy who will probably be winning the WWE Title tomorrow, but Bray Wyatt working as a steady top heel in a territory always felt like a perfect mesh to me. He could even "Abduct" departing babyfaces to explain why they were not gonna be around. Or, even better, he'd be the worlds best Raven in ECW, pushing his stuff up a notch and having bloody brawls. I think Bray and Ambrose, more then anything, got screwed over living in a world were brawling isn't really a thing that is done well anymore due to lack of blood and companies not wanting to be viewed as "not kid friendly"
