John Pollock pointed out on the Post Wrestling show that Reys return blew away all the other moments in terms of YouTube views. He did 5 million views in the day or so after the show, ahead of Rondas 1.9 million and Trishs 1.6 million. Thats as sure a sign as any that they should do business with him again down the line, and probably book him against AJ on PPV

Genuinely thought Sasha was going to die on that tope. Wild. Great to see her back to being awesome though. Her turning heel opens up so many programmes going forward, I just wish they could get back to what Smackdown managed to do about a year ago and have multiple women's programmes running.

Matt is so shot, they need to just start doing the video gimmicks

Sasha going heel would really have been a chance to rehabilitate Bayley, especially if they worked turn angle with Trish, which is what I was hoping for in my head. Braun murdering Kane is great. Shouldve happened months ago

So you liked it then?

Resentment? Hostility towards women?

When is that last time WWE have booked someone as strongly as Asuka? It's something like two or three years in the company and she's still unbeaten, called up without dropping the NXT belt, lone survivor at Survivor Series, winning the first women's Rumble and kinda punking out Ronda as well. It really is quite incredible in this era.

You'd think Ronda has to be on TV tonight, though it's kinda up in the air as to how frequently she'll be appearing between now and Mania. I don't know why they got Coach back. I find Booker T's gibberish commentary entertaining tbh so I'm a bit disappointed he's gone.

Rolling the 25 minute HHH wank match and the showbiz bs match into one segment and getting it out of the way is a booking decision I can endorse. They can hide Ronda better in a smoke and mirrors match too

If Rey doesnt want to sign a full deal they should definitely keep him in mind for a Jericho style part time run. Theres so many fun matches he could have with AJ, Rusev, Cesaro, Braun etc.

Trish is definitely worth bringing back for a Summerslam match or something. She looked great. Great performance from Nikki too, her vs Asuka needs to happen

Dave talked about her as if she crossed over when he was reporting in her UFC run. I know anecdotally of some people having heard of her that I wouldn't have expected, but that's in Ireland where there might be more awareness due to McGregor? Or less cause all the top matches or at like 5am.

Ok that's awesome. But also, what a mark lol

Ronda vs Charlotte seemed like the obvious match there, but surely they'd prefer to have her on Raw

She's too much of a fangirl. She's dreamed of this since she was little. She wanted to be badass but couldn't stop grinning. I kinda feel like that's what they were going for. Then she snaps and beats someone's ass in TV.

The rest of the show was nothing much but the two Rumble matches were awesome.

Don't know how to feel about that.

Asuka whiffed that kick to eliminate Nikki lol. That way overdelivered in my expectations. Excellent match.

Please keep the spirit of puro alive by putting over the spiritual successor to Misawa, Nikki Bella

Omg Nikki turning in Brie. That was gold

Lol, Japanese crowd favourite against a company favoured act that smarks dislike in the last three. Have I seen this recently?

Give me Nikki vs Asuka as the final two tbh. Sasha was so great at being a dick

Sasha got to be going heel after that

She licked her hand before a chop, but it a weirdly gratuitous way haha

Bayley coming out to crickets is such a sad sight
