What the hell was even that match even what? None of that went in the way I expected.

Spoilers

-It wasn't until they were on the roof, in particular after Bryan went shoulder first into the bar, but moreso when AJ Styles punched Otis... they were using sound effects from even the little things, not just throwing Black and Mysterio to their doom. Like there are clear stock '80s arcade punch sounds coming from AJ's fists.

-The cameos are... I... what... Vince's worked alright enough, but Paul Heyman, Brother Love, and John Laurinitus? What, even... it was like a House of Horrors fever dream. And could Stephanie not even be arsed to show up live? That was some terrible pre-recorded, unfunny stupidity. And I'm grinning as I'm saying that because I cannot believe they thought that would pass muster unless it was intentional. Also, Dana is dumb. The McMahons are INSANE! That might be real money in that case!!! TAKE IT!!!!

-What happened to Shayna, Dana, and Carmella? I would've actually loved to have seen the three of them fight their way into the ring like five minutes after Asuka made off with the briefcase, some great spots, someone to climb the ladder while the men are laid out, and realize the case was already taken and the three of them pout their way out of the ring. But seriously, where'd they go?

-One major positive about this dumb, dumb cartoon were the introductions. I liked seeing who each competitor beat to qualify. I haven't kept up with Raw or Smackdown so I don't know exactly how accurate those are in terms of how things really happened (screwy finishes, etc.), but I liked seeing twelve other names there that could've been in the match and their honorable mentions. That was cool, and helped people who don't watch learn a bit more. "Hey, I know Dolph Ziggler. Otis beat Dolph Ziggler to qualify? That means something!"

-Rey and Black are dead.

-Seriously, King Corbin is going to be in soooo much trouble.

-Oh. Not for killing Rey and Black. They expected people to be tossed off the roof making this match. Insurance and all that. No, Baron broke that mirror with the weight. He'll both have to pay for property damage and be cursed with seven years of bad luck. He can ask Kane.

-Also, like, Daniel Bryan in this match and his promo a few weeks back... he felt like NXT Season 4 Justin Bateman Coaching 'This is the Stupidest Thing And I'm Going to Be As Ridiculous and IDGAF As Possible' Daniel Bryan. If only we had a Steve Blackman cameo!

-And AJ Styles... he sold well. The stupid weights, the giant Rey picture, the Undertaker picture, the casket room, the Vince office... even fumbling the briefcase like a dummy... I thought he made the stupid thing work best of all of them aside from Asuka, who... Asuka outshined everybody.
