There is your WrestleMania 35 main event.
Becky Lynch against Ronda Rousey.
I could talk about the match between Rousey and Bayley – fun, but I could have used Bayley to further combat Lynch's nervousness and display the sign of the four riders, in my opinion – but why? This is not the story here. The story goes that, despite the fact that Rousey did all that was "good", the audience boohed at it all on this show. She preaches here to make your dreams a reality, she holds the title open, and it still does not matter.
She is not the man.
In addition, some people will say that Rousey totally missed his promo before the game. I agree with them … and yet it's perfect for this story. Rousey is great when everything is fine for her. But as soon as she has to deal with a negative image, insecurity rises to the surface and she loses her cool.
Rousey threatened to kill Lynch with his bare hands! AND BECKY NOT SOLD THE THREAT, LOOKING AWESOME IN RONNIE'S FACE!
Lynch is just … what words can I use? She is at a completely different level in terms of the investment of fans. She is at a completely different level in character work. And his promo in Rousey's face was still at a completely different level.
"… The last time I participated in your show, I dropped you pretty much there. And yet, you do not come looking for me, you want to prove that you are the worst woman on the planet. So I came looking for you to prove that you are not.
Chills.
Universal Buzzkill
Everything was going so well for Seth Rollins.
After winning the Royal Rumble, Rollins came to celebrate his victory with the fans. Daddy Triple H has come out to share a tear with his protégé and warmly congratulates him on his return to form. Rollins even had a win over his long-time rival, Dean Ambrose, to top it off.
But then … you know. He decided to try to fight Brock Lesnar.
Paul Heyman joined his client to end the series and basically advised Rollins to choose Daniel Bryan for his match at WrestleMania. Because who on earth would ever decide to willingly to be clubbed by the beast?
Rollins, apparently. He fell on Lesnar's face and hit him twice against Lesnar's injured gut … but it was for nothing. Lesnar quickly countered in an F-5. And then another. And another. And another. And another. And another…
Uh Rollins. Do you want to rethink that decision?
It's a bit funny with the context. The crowd chanted "kill the Beast!" To open the show and uh … yeah. They did not sing at all at the end.
I would also be extremely entertained if Rollins decided to follow Heyman's advice after that defeat. He will not do it, of course, but still.
Elias is still a bad guy
WWE, you can not rush his stuff.
After opening the Royal Rumble against Jeff Jarrett, Elias decided to turn his heels tonight. He told the fans that they should give him ovations and congratulate him wildly … so they did it. He insulted them, but it did not stuck.
So, Jarrett made an appearance alongside Road Dogg where they tried to show the young musician / wrestler and it did not work so well for the old superstars. Elias crushed them both with a guitar and whistled before the crowd chanted "Waaaaalk Walk with Elias …"
So what are we doing with that, Cageside? In my opinion, it was a pretty lame ride and it obviously did not work.
The rest
Nia Jax and Tamina def. Alexa Bliss and Mickie James – It was a qualifying match for the women's team titles and it was not my favorite. Everything is centered on Jax and I'm just not a fan of his recent work. She also hit Ambrose with a forearm and … what's the point? What is the gain for Jax who hits the guys? Will one of them fight back? Am I supposed to encourage that?
Baron Corbin def. Kurt Angle – The story told here was that Angle was still trying to mentally recover from his November loss to Drew McIntyre. Corbin had cost Angle his job, but he still could not do it. He even lost to a shot that did not finish!
… The comments were also extremely noisy – and even damaging – during this one. Chill, everyone.
The consolation prize of Finn Balor – Balor lost to Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble after causing a lot of problems to the Beast. That's good, Finn. Now back to the middle map.
It's literally the worst scenario for Balor, in my opinion. It's such a cheap consolation prize to make Lesnar believe no matter what it means. Bobby Lashley beat Balor a bit more after Lio Rush claimed he was taller, faster and better than Lesnar. Yeah, it's funny.
The revival def. Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins – The lovable loser has become lovable Losers. I look forward to the story they can tell in their first win.
The team Riott def. Natalya and Dana Brooke – That was another qualifier for the title and Natalya's team was never lucky. Brooke was talking badly to her partner before the match and after Natalya's night at the Rumble … yes.
Braun Strowman def. Drew McIntyre via DQ – Enough to see where Strowman is these days, huh? Corbin and McIntyre used it once, and now they chokes it in several stages. Life comes to you quickly.
I thought the show was really centered on Raw's two main belts. These stories were great. Everything else? Not great. The face-to-face between Rousey and Lynch was A +++ and enough for the show to be above average.
