Just seen the show, I'll get to the elephant in the room in a bit.
Really enjoyed the show overall, both War Games were great with both heel factions getting their comeuppance against the people that they have taken out, nice moment between Charlotte and Becky during the women's games match. Its so good to see Randy back, this is a guy who was told he could never wrestle again earlier this year and missed a year-and-a-half, he came back and looked ripped and happy to be back, its a nice story.
The other three matches were kind of whatever, Gunther v Miz was definitely the best of the three as Miz gave Gunther a fight he wasn't expecting, Dragon Lee v Escobar was good but it was just there, Ripley retained her title in just eight minutes, Stark did get some offense in but ultimately Rhea got the expected win as they continue to build her as this unstoppable dominant force.
And now to CM Punk, ughh I don't know.... I've got mixed feelings at best, he is of course very divisive and toxic, but he is also a draw and 2014 was a long time ago, almost a decade in fact, maybe times have changed, I think WWE certainly has. From what I heard they only reached a deal with him for his return yesterday morning and it was only backstage news during the actual show itself, apparently creative didn't know about it so they aren't happy, you may have heard about Seth Rollins losing it and had to be separated from Punk backstage but I have heard conflicting reports that it was a work relating to an earlier interview that in which Rollins called Punk a cancer. I'm willing to give this time but I am also fearful.
Drew McIntyre walked right out of the arena straight after his war games match, apparently this had nothing to do with Punk and more to do with his own situation at the company, they are still in contract negotiations with him, he is not happy.
Both Punk and Orton will be on Raw in Nashville tomorrow, also welcome back R-Truth!
