Super random way to open the show, which is always welcome. Even better? When a random opening leads to an above-average match later in the show that the crowd is hot for. Balor seemed more comfortable on the mic than usual too.
The six man tag with the LWO and Bloodline was so much fun. Too bad the draft is around the corner, because I would love to see a whole series of matches between these guys, but it's doubtful that all six end up on the same show.
That KOD Belair gave Bayley was unbelievably smooth. I'm always impressed by how legit strong she is.
I'd love to know why they asked Bad Bunny to host an event in Puerto Rico instead of wrestling at it to begin with. This makes so much more sense, and that crowd will eat it up. I do hate how dumb it makes him (and so many other solo babyfaces) look to challenge a member of a faction to a no-DQ match. I'm sure he'll still find a way to win, but it just makes zero sense.
Decent design for the new belt. I wonder what they do now with the other belts. Go back to a single black strap with the same design? Crazy how much shade they were throwing at Reigns during the announcement and in later segments. How do you build a guy for 1000 days, then sh*t all over the run he had? And the solution to having a guy as champion who (at least in story) negotiated having fewer title defenses is to say that's good enough for one of your shows but not the other? And to create a second champion who couldn't beat him? In this scenario, WHO LOOKS GOOD AT ALL?!?! I digress.
