Punk's reign goes on, and Daniel Bryan and Kane's started a new. That's all I wanted from this and I got it, in addition to two quality performances for the US and Intercontinental title.

Two match of the year candidates in Orton/Ziggler and Punk/Cena.

JBL on commentary was ing amazing in ONE night he managed to do things that Cole cant/wont do in YEARS...put matches over by talking about the TALENT and not their twitter accounts. Punk/Cena was incredible Can we talk about Ryder/Cesaro having the 2nd best match of the card please? It goes to show you when these guys get TIME to work an actual wrestling match they can light it up. Cesaro winning shitting meaningless 3 minute matches is not giving anyone a reason to care about him, going out there tearing it up for 15 minutes WILL get him over. I loved it. A REAL feud (w/ Ryder) for the US title please? Tag match was cool....Bryan & Kane are amazing 4-way was a lil sloppy at first but got going nicely and i love the idea of a Cody/Miz feud no reason for Orton to go over Ziggler. Stupid mistake and makes Ziggler look even worse since winning MITB. I'm ing sick of Orton winning all the time. Overall a great show.

That was a top notch ppv from start to finish. I even enjoyed the divas match which is usually a bore. The WWE title match had me hooked big time. Can't wait til tomorrow.

I'm not a huge fan of the double pin finish (It worked for Flair and Steamboat but seldom does otherwise), but with Punk's recent obsession with keeping the belt and the fact that they needed to set something up for HiaC, I figured we'd get something screwy. The match was still amazing, aside from the finish and both guys hitting their finishers twice. Cena doing the suicide dive was nice. Punk really does bring the best out of him. All the matches were solid to excellent. Even the divas match was really good. I was happy to see Cesaro vs. Ryder. Nice to see Cesaro really get some time. That pop up uppercut is sick. I just hope we see him eventually do the UFO, I think that will get a good reaction. JBL was also fantastic. i loved that he gave history on people. His info about Sin Cara was really nice. Great show all around

Didn't see the PPV, but the results were pretty much what I expected with the exception of Orton beating Ziggler. I really didn't think Punk would lose the title when they just started this new angle with Heyman being involved. It would've looked extremely weak to have Heyman come in as the "evil genius" managing Punk and then he loses his first title defense with him in his corner.
All that being said, I've always hated hated hated the double countout/DQ finish on a PPV. I feel like if I'm spending $60 on a show it's to have a definitive ending, not a "To be continued..." ending.

Went to Buffalo Wild Wings with a few friends, we actually found one that plays the WWE PPVs. What a fun show, man. Had a great time.
I was really expecting the new WWE Title to be under Punk's hoodie.

Am I the only one who thought Ziggler Vs Orton was MOTN?

By the way after an amazing main event the entire Garden let out a big Bullcrapchant. I'm not sure if it was in the PPV Feed butbeing there in the audience I can tell you the fans did not like a draw ending.

I think its funny that the two MOTY canidates ended in double finishes. I really wanna watch the PPB broadcast back to get commentary and see how all you guys saw it. I enjoted every match I just didn't apprciate the people sitting by me. I loved the energy for the Punk Cena match and really do believe that it was Match of the Year quality. Along with Bryan/Punk OTL.

I feel like if I'm spending $60 on a show it's to have a definitive ending, not a "To be continued..." ending. I get what you're saying, but when a feud is going to continue, you can't always have a clean finish. I think the problem is that everything is kind of "Been there, don that" these days, combined with the knowledge that it's predetermined. So when something like that happens, instead of being interested to see how the guys will handle things, you think about how the creative team decided on doing this. I mean, I'm not a big fan of the double pin either. But when it happened between Flair and Steamboat nobody felt like they didn't get their moneys worth, believe me. In all reality, I don't feel that way after tonight. The match was amazing, finish aside. And with Hell in a Cell coming up, it made sense to do have an inconclusive finish of some sort. On a different site someone was complaining that it shouldn't have mattered that Cena's shoulders were down as he was performing the move, which confused me. Some people really don't seem to understand what's going on. He also said that they did the finish to protect Cena from being pinned. Yet instead of being pinned, he just missed getting his own shoulders off the mat, which seems worse to me.

Pretty obvious we'll get a match at HIAC where there "must be a winner" between Punk/Cena, which pretty much perfectly sets up my prediction for the next six months or so.
At HIAC, we finally see the return of one Mr. Brock Lesnar in the main, attacking Cena and costing him the match (he has never gotten revenge for Extreme Rules after all). This would set up Team Heyman vs. Team Cena at Survivor Series and Brock vs. Cena at TLC, effectively keeping both of them out of the title picture. In the meantime, Punk can feud with someone new over the belt until he takes on Dwayne at the Rumble. Sadly, Punk's awesome reign will end there while Cena wins the Rumble, and we finally get the rematch, Cena vs. Rock for the title at Wrestlemania.
Would not surprise me one bit to see HHH vs. Lesnar II as well at Mania. I'm guessing Lesnar ends up fighting about four or five matches, not including the Rumble, throughout this year-long contract, which is pretty ridiculous.

Fantastic PPV. IC Title match was really solid, JBL was gold on commentary, "I'm the Tag Team Champions!", Cesaro and Ryder had a really good match, and Orton/Ziggler and Punk/Cena were both MOTY worthy. Only real gripe was the World Heavyweight Championship match. Not the match itself, but Booker reinstating the Brogue Kick. The whole point of the match going in was "Can Sheamus win without the Brogue Kick?", and it was immediately eliminated as a factor. With six weeks until Hell in a Cell, I'm expecting Dolph to cash in at the upcoming SmackDown, setting up a Fatal Four Way Cell match with him, Sheamus, Orton, and ADR. And Kaitlyn

And Kaitlyn Forget to mention this before, but you've nailed my main two gripes. Obviously, my fandom for Kaitlyn speaks for itself but trust me when I tell you that I only ponied up the cash for this PPV because I wanted to see her compete. As for the World title, I agree COMPLETELY. To me (and to my NWF roommates), the decision to re-instate the Brogue Kick seemed incredibly odd based on the set-up leading up to the match. My only guess is that they decided to scrap the program between Sheamus/Del Rio after this PPV; so, they just went ahead and got the announcement over with now.

What I noticed about JBL on commentary was that instead of Cole playing the heel, JBL was the one siding with the heels and Cole was the guy questioning him. It made the good matches tonight even better.

Really great, solid show. The commentary made everything even better. I'd love to see Cole and JBL calling Raw from now on.

I was there and live and god damn, what a show. Match of the Year in Cena/Punk. Everything was awesome. Cena, Sheamus, and Orton had the biggest pops, by far. Before the show started, tons of "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry" chants.
