I'll try to help get the ball rolling.

Was there any particular match or segment that stood out to you? I watch little to no WWE nowadays, but I'm always willing to make time to watch a good match.

I don't watch either but I caught clips of the ending and there's been some quite interesting developments to Damage CTRL which seems to be setting up for an upcoming War Games match!

This made me giggle. KO is a menace and must be ok commentary more often.

Gonna try to summarize my thoughts from a mostly non-WWE watchers perspective....

  • The WOOO is still in the opening video, huh?
  • Damn that set is MASSIVE
  • Logan Paul stole El Phantasmo's gimmick lol
  • Something about WWE, or at least Smackdown, seems "overproduced" to me... I don't know exactly what it is, but I think maybe it's the cameras and the 3d graphics?
  • Santos Escobar was so much better in NXT, hopefully he gets back to that
  • OMG Kairi Sane is back
  • Woah, Cedric Alexander looks so different to the last time I saw him
  • I get why people like LA Knight, but I don't connect with him the same way, idk why
  • KO is an excellent storyteller
  • Jimmy's in his Red (Taylor's Version) era, I see
  • Joshi-CTRL seems cool
