Just finished watching it.
Sheamus/Bryan got screwed again. They might as well have been the dark match so that they'd have gotten more time. What might be worse is the crowd got screwed since you can tell they were really into Bryan.
Orton/Kane was eh. I don't know where they're going with Kane or Orton anymore.
Rhodes/Big Show was average. I was honestly hoping that Cody would be the one to break Honky Tonk Man's reign as longest IC champion. Big Show doesn't need a title and there's no upcoming heel to believably take the title away from him.
Divas match was what you'd expect. Shame we didn't get Beth and Kharma.
Undertaker/HHH was strange for me. It's like...if two people were to do that type of match at ROH or TNA, the guys in WWE would probably crap all over it, but it's fine because it's Undertaker and HHH. HBK was honestly the star of the match. His facial expressions and reactions are just so great.
Team Johnny/Team Teddy was about what I expected. Some spots here and there but fairly unmemorable. They sure killed most of Ryder's steam. That's what he gets for getting himself over with the audience right?
Punk/Jericho wasn't horrible, but it just seems like they could do better. The added stipulation wasn't really needed unless they plan to have Punk outright try to kill Jericho at Extreme Rules.
Rock/Cena was pretty amazing for the spectacle of it. That said, it's clear why Cena's gimmick is to not sell moves. He bumped pretty badly for Rock. That first Rock Bottom, that double clothesline spot, it wasn't pretty. Rock bumped and made Cena look really strong except for that botched top rope leg drop which I think Cena over jumped anyways.
I didn't like how after the match though all Cole could do is talk about how Cena was a winner too. The guy lost clean, which is appreciated, but it's pretty bad that they're still trying to shove Cena down our throats.
