The biggest PPV in the world of Pro-Wrestling is done and what an event it was. Just like every PPV that WWE executes these days it wasn't really the best product that WWE has offered or could have offered but with the show having so much on offer there were always going to be some bits which were really good and some things which WWE did that really resonated with everyone.
Credit where credit's due, there were some really great moments throughout the show that caught the eye and WWE was really able to hit the nail on the head with them. Some bits like Kurt Angle's farewell also left a few people getting emotional and all in all, it made the PPV worth watching. With that in mind, let's go through some bits where WWE really hit the nail on the head.
#1 Becky Lynch beats Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair to win both the titles
In the face of it, this was expected as the momentum Becky had going into this match really made her the runaway favorite. The thing that really stood out the most was the match itself. The quality of the match was superb with the women putting their bodies on the line with visible scars and scrapes on all of them.
The match ebbed and flowed either way until the end when Ronda tried to execute Piper's Pit only to be countered by Becky into a roll up and a pin. Yes, there were some botches and yes maybe the ending could have been orchestrated in a better way but all in all, it was a good match and the thing that mattered the most, the result, was exactly what the fans wanted.
#2 Kofi Is the new WWE Champion
Kofi Kingston is the new WWE Champion. I'm not sure how many would have seen that coming but it really was one of the best moments of the night. This was probably the best most feel-good moment of the whole show because until the end many would not have been really convinced of Kofi Kingston of all people getting a title run.
But then, when you look at the fans, you look at their reaction, you look at the ovation that Kofi got and you realize that WWE did get that right admirably. How long will Kofi hold on to the title? How big will be the title reign? At this point of time, these questions don't really matter much, the bottom line is that Kofi is a WWE Champion and no one can ever take that away from him.
#3 Samoa Joe beats Rey Mysterio and retains the US Championship
Maybe Mysterio's injury played a role in this and the match was not really the best that the two could have put together but the outcome was surely what always should have been. Samoa Joe has just recently got the title on his shoulder and it is important that he gets to keep it on him for a while to add to the momentum.
The match was probably not the biggest attraction in terms of the action and when you look at the two competitors you understand why WWE might have just lost out big time due to Rey's injury but at least the outcome was something that the fans would be happy with. Despite being a heel Samoa Joe garners a lot of support and following in the fans and his defense would go a long way in building it further.
#4 The return of the "Doctor of Thuganomics"
Now, this was a hilarious, funny, witty and completely unexpected turn of events in which the WWE fans were taught a lesson in Nostalgia as John Cena made a return to the WWE ring in his original avatar of "Doctor of Thuganomics". The whole segment was not only hilarious but pretty fresh considering how long it has been since John Cena actually did this bit.
His rapping, his old demeanor was something unexpected for the fans and Cena himself seemed to have a lot of fun doing that. The Doctor of Thuganomics did put up a clinic and with Elias as an able dancing partner, he was really able to turn it on and put in a good show. All in all, it brought the fans in and gave them a much-needed breather from all the matches and also showed how big a legend John is and how much of a following he still garners.
#5 Finn Balor beats Bobby Lashley and wins the Intercontinental Championship
The only reason and logic behind bringing back the Demon should have been to help Finn Balor dig down deep and find that ultimate focus needed to beat Bobby Lashley and WWE for its part did that admirably. They took the things to the next level when they even introduced a touch of invincibility into Finn's character when he kicked out of a spear that had essentially cut him in half.
The match was swift, hard-hitting had a lot of great spots but the star attraction was the Demon King as Finn used this character to really take things to the next level as he powerbombed a giant in the form of Bobby Lashley. Demon King is one of the most liked characters in WWE and they used it to great effect. What happens next is anybody's guess but it did serve the purpose this time around.
