Losers: Heavy Machinery

As we've come to expect, this was just a bad segment all around. There's no reason for these "Moment of Bliss" segments. The crux of the segment - the revelation of the women's tag team titles, which will be decided at Elimination Chamber, could have been done in another fashion.

Instead, it was a cluster with Bliss, Heyman, and, most oddly of all Otis Dozovic of Heavy Machinery who looked like a mentally deficient loser. Not the best way to introduce yourself to a new audience.

It's time to stop these segments.


Winner: Finn Balor

On such short notice, the company should be commended for putting over Finn Balor in the best way possible as he heats up into a sudden, unexpected match with Brock Lesnar.

Balor has no chance of winning in Phoenix, but this is a match that fans have been thinking about for years, and credit to WWE for giving it to them. It's also finally an injection of new blood into the Universal Championship picture, after years of only being tangled over between Lesnar, Reigns, and Strowman (and Samoa Joe a couple of times).

The match in Phoenix should be much better than another Lesnar vs. Strowman encounter as well.
