Booking throughout the show was suspect AF, imo.
-The goddamn women's match was just a travesty. It was a little too short, for one, and while I'm fine with Carmella winning, and even fine with her winning with Ellsworth's AID, having him climb the ladder and toss the briefcase down to her in the first ever (as hyped by WWE) women's MitB match was tone deaf at best, and insulting at worst. It would probably have caused less of a stir if this had been like, the 3rd or 4th women's MitB match. But that was stupid.
-Randy Orton was a nominal babyface in his home town, and his dad was getting attacked by the heel's goons, and I still just wanted him to go the fuck away. He was over in that a certain segment of the crowd reflexively hates furriners and Mahal (to his credit) is playing that up. Do we have a blow off match in this "feud" where the Singhs are barred from ringside now? Oh boy. Because that's what the world wants more of. Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal feuding.
-Booking the title match BEFORE the MitB match was stupid. Even if you're not going to have the winner run in, it's good to at least make people think there's the possibility of that.
-I ended up being fine with Nakamura's role in the main event, because he came back in and destroyed everyone. That said, selfishly I would have liked to have seen him in the entire match. I feel like the WWE doesn't really know wtf they're doing with him, although now he's set up pretty well to feud with Corbin, which I guess could be good.
-Someone needs to protect Kevin Owens from what I can only guess is his insane desire to take a lot of bumps in a match or he's gonna be eating through a tube one day.
Pluses:
+The tag title match was awesome, I thought. There were a couple busted spots but overall it did what it needed to do: entertain and keep the belts on the Usos in a semi-cowardly heel way. Keeping the titles off the New Day for as long as possible is good for the division, I feel.
+The actual MitB match was awesome. No complaints aside from wanting more of Nakamura (although I'm cautiously optimistic with how he came out of the match) and for KO to take fewer insane bumps. Like, maybe 1 per match instead of 3 or whatever, Kevin.
