It is impossible to build a Universal Championship match when the Champion is not present. I thought that Paul Heyman was a chore to listen to, and so was Rollins. In fact, the only thing I liked about the whole segment was the visual of Rollins chasing Heyman up the ramp. I thought that it was a pretty unique twist.
I also liked Kurt Angle leading the 'You Suck' chants when he came out, directing them at Paul Heyman. They were both good for a chuckle and little more. The Universal Championship match feels smaller than ever.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
So let's say some thoughts and prayers for WrestleMania and the unfortunate build that we've all been subjected to. I really hope that the go-home show is interesting because if not, will people even tune in for WWE's biggest show this year?
Maybe all thoughts and prayers need to be directed to a Goddess, really.
