The PPV was pretty good last night.  The ladder match was terrific.  Orton/DM was very good and creative.  RR/Jey Uso was also very good and Reigns has some real heal heat now.

I did not expect much, but they put on a good show.

That might have been the most compelling match that Reigns has been in since he faced Cena.

 

That's not embellishment. 

 

The ladder match...the part with the ear was cringe in the best way.

 

What a good PPV. Like, I was legit impressed. Three great matches (throwing in Orton/Drew) that will be talked about in the "best of" at the end of the year, definitely.

 

That ending to the SP/Andrade&Garza match though...yeesh.

Read the last one was a botch, maybe cause Garza got hurt and then they felt like they shouldn’t end it the way it was supposed to go?

Garza suffered a hip injury.

Very good Takeover last bight

The show was one of the best of the year and then some.

The main event of O’Reilly and Balor was match of the year quality and the rest were not far behind.  Gargano and Priest started the show and were terrific,

Ridge Holland sustained what looked to be a very nasty leg injury last night on NXT

[Mike B]

Rough week for real NXT injuries.

 

• Finn Balor: Broken jaw and oral lacerations
• Kyle O’Reilly: Contusions and swollen liver
• Ridge Holland: Left ankle dislocation and fracture; right knee patellar dislocation and ruptured patellar tendon
• Dakota Kai: back and neck pain

Holland's injury reminds of Sid Viscious.  If you see the link for the video, do not watch.

Eesh. I'll be avoiding that one. I saw Sid's and it STILL haunts me.

I was watching live.  He did not catch Oney Lorcan right and went down quick.  Lorcan did not realize Holland was hurt and did his punching routine, but one of the refs realized it right away and gave the signal and then dove into Lorcan, who then seemed to realize and got out of the way very quickly.  They cut away shortly after, but when they came back Holland was in a boot and was leaving on a stretcher.

I haven't been watching much lately but I caught the Big E - Sheamus falls count anywhere match the other night.  That was fun

[Mike B]

They split up  Big E from New Day which means Big E’s singles push is finally here

Aren't Woods and Kofi hurt?  Or have I not been paying attention?

 

Happy to see Big E get a push though hope it ends with a belt at some point.

They came back from injury earlier in the show. Got the belts, which is probably just a way to either split up the former champs, or to keep the belts on that show.

I think both are likely.  It is also possible.  Ceasaro and Shin were just place holders until Xavier was back.  Big E has wanted a singles push, which was over due.  Splitting him from New Day helps them keep him out of New Day story lines.

Daniel Bryan said on talking Smack that he is in his last full time run.

Pretty good PPV last night.  Banks takes the Belt from Bailey and Orton gets the belt from Edge.
