Definitely not staying up for Raw tonight. I think it'll be ace though. Hardys return, and surely Balor will return too? I have a feeling they might turn Sasha tonight too.
Some things really don't make sense to me though. Trips now has more losses than anyone else at 'Mania. It's great that he's putting new talent over, but an injured talent in an 'unsanctioned' match where we didn't see his new protégé Joe either, despite Joe once supposedly being the roadblock between Rollins and Trips? Makes zero sense. Not at all a satisfying finish. I wonder if they wanted to wrap it up to start Balor / HHH for next year's Mania.
SmackDown crashed and burnt. If it wasn't for Styles and Shane, there wasn't a single satisfying SmackDown match... it was really smartly booked too. Subverting expectations, starting out with pure technical wrestling. Yeah, Styles clearly carried him for much of it, but it was from start to finish more consistent than anything else from SD. What on earth happened to SD? I used to look forward to the SD PPVs and matches more than any other.
So many matches felt half-baked. Even Owens vs Jericho wasn't as enjoyable as I expected, despite being one of the better matches on the card. I wonder if they changed everybody's match times at the last minute and threw so many matches off. I get the impression a few years down the line when everybody is shooting on Mania 33, it'll be one of the more interesting when it comes to what went on behind the scenes.
