Would be my main title matches. No idea on the rest of the show yet bar obviously the battle royals.

Asuka vs. Becky took a little bit of time to get into, but the Becky hype was really cool (even though the crowd were 100% handed those mini signs). Obvious outcome, but still a good match nonetheless. Really set things up nicely for the remainder of the card. Becky is just so incredibly suited to her character, and I love Asuka being a champ.

Sasha vs. Ronda was probably my favourite match of the night. Really enjoyed how badass they both were and the constant submission switches (there's probably a better phrase for this but oh well, lmao) were really impressive. For a slight second, I thought Sasha was going to win, but Ronda winning was inevitable. Really glad this match happened because it proved what Ronda is capable of against a really, really, good opponent. Was ready for Sasha to go back and beat Ronda's arse after the handshake, though.

The women's rumble was good. I think the first half was better than the second. I really liked how full the ring become at one point. There were so many ****ing weird moments, though. The whole thing between Alicia and Maria was a choice and Hornswoggle appearing and chasing Zelina was bizarre. Lana limping to the ring was teeth-clenching but it obviously served a purpose. Can't disagree with Becky winning, but would've liked to have seen a better-produced showdown between the two of them. I mean god love them, they must have been exhausted but that final elimination was a tad anti-climatic.

I kind of skimmed through the men's rumble. It seemed objectively good, but I've never really gotten into the men's side of WWE. Nia coming through at the last minute was so unexpected. I was here for it! Gave me Chyna vibes. Seth's a good winner and he's one of my favourite male wrestlers so happy with that outcome.

Oh, and I did see glimpses of Brock vs. Finn. I thought it was good in terms of the narrative because one is so blatantly villainous while the other is the archetypical hero, so it wasn't too bad for a match that just ended up with Brock winning again. Finn's also one of my favourite's, so would've been cool to see him win but hopefully he'll get his chance to hold the title again at a later date.

adding onto this:

Literally had no idea Beth Phoenix was commentating until half-way through when Renee referenced her by name. That was so weird, lmao. ALSO, I've read through the thread and completely agree that the camerawork was off for the Rumble matches, especially the women's. I don't know whether I liked the set-up of the arena, but it was awkward how we'd miss some of the entrances when the camera was still on the ring. I did like how the ramp and long entrance path was reminiscent of the 1999 Rumble, though.

also...
