Ever since Emma changed her gimmick after the shop lifting thing, I've really liked her. I think the whole aviators and gloves thing works really well and actually makes her look a lot more villainous than what she portrays. That's really too bad her re-debut was on Main Event. She deserves a proper, "I tried to be nice but now I'm back and I'm evil!" type of explanation for her character on Raw or Smackdown.

To be safe, the go home show should just be backstage interviews, contract signings, and arm wrestling competitions for all the feuds.

Yeah, the IC Title match is strange now. Ryder and Sin Cara make no sense. They should sub out those 2 for Breeze and Swagger and it'd be way better. Owens will probably win, he and Zayn will feud into the summer, eventually winning the title and freeing up Owens to win Money in the Bank.

Ordered in terms of how excited I am for each match:

1. IC Title: Owens is the best performer in the company and the guy I look forward to seeing the most on every show. My match of the year last year was Owens/Zayn from Takeover where Owens won the title. So yeah, I'm looking forward to this match.
2. Ambrose/Lesnar: Good build, like both guys, hope Dean wins.
3. Divas Title: Decent build, like all 3 ladies, any of them could win this and it's justified.
4. Battle Royal: It's sad that this is #4 on the list.
5. Shane/Taker: *Shrug*
6. New Day/LON: I like New Day but LON are total chumps. Don't really care.
7. HHH/Reigns: YAAAAAWWWWWNNNN.
8. Kalisto/Ryback: Fast forward.
9. Usos/Dudleys: *sleeping*
10. Septic Tank vs. Garbage Truck (Brie/Lana): Shoot me.

I'm not convinced Jericho/Styles will get their own match but if they do it would take the #3 spot.

@kingpk: Agreed it was a great segment. Though, I immediately knew what it was when he handed the box to him and the only thing I could think was, "I hope it doesn't look like those terrible plastic barbed wire TNA bats."

And it does.

Edit: Actually just went back and compared and it doesn't look THAT bad.

Looking at the bright side, they're building up Dean more and more. He now holds an unofficial win over HHH. You can boil this ppv down to just that, pretty much.

@fram:

Absolutely LOVED the Wyatt/HHH interaction. So awesome. When his music hit I was thinking that the Wyatts would wimp out and immediately run away cause we already know the Roadblock card is locked and nothing major can really happen. Glad HHH sold that he was scared too. Good storytelling.

Dude, what? The announcers openly talked about The Bullet Club on NXT? Is this new? I've only been watching pieces of NXT here and there.

Bleh, if this whole internet rumor about Balor Club or whatever reforming and turning Finn heel is true, I think it's a huge mistake. Balor could be a super over babyface on the main roster just keeping with the Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde demon thing he's doing now. And, more important than just what's over and what's not, is that Balor is way more interesting as the mysterious, lone wolf, world warrior as opposed to just the leader of a stable.

Ohhhh, it all makes sense now. Big Show/Owens and New Day/AJ+Jericho feuds are for this mini-ppv. Got it.

As they were setting up this tag feud I kept thinking about Jericho on Twitter responding to someone saying that he wouldn't just be in a multi-man match and that he had returned to have a significant role at Mania. Thought that was funny because the tag titles and the Andre Battle Royal are in the same tier in my eyes.
