    Yeah it's a shame the crowd had no idea what was going on. The Brood theme and entrance was great.

    Fitting for Halloween that the crowd was dead.

    Bryan & Styles was pretty great for a TV match.

    Have no issue with Bryan being written out but was it absolutely necessary to tap him out? Such a weird return for him so far. I can only only assume he's happy to play ball but it's that type of thing that will lessen his legacy.

    Punk in comparison is on holy grail territory because he stood up and walked away.

    He's going to get punished for this for a long time for pulling out of a highly advertised major match.

    This will be the thing to solidify Vince's mindset to stop pushing Bryan as well.

    The weird thing is that Vinces dickishness is working on me. I haven't been arsed watching him which was inconceivable to me 6 months ago.

    What’s happened to Becky’s voice? It definitely sounds more Americanized imo. There were reports a while back that Vince and Kevin Dunn didn’t want her on the mic Cos her accent was too thick. Sounds like she might have had some elocution lessons. As is clear to everyone, she delivers a great promo

    Why is Shane In the survivor match? He brings absolutely nothing and it’s a waste of a spot. He’s been useless as a wrestler and as a character since he debuted.

    He jumps off high things and does cost to cost

    Because he's the best in the world.

    Apparently it's all leading to a Shane-o-Mac heel turn. Due to failing ratings they're going back to the heel authority figure versus the underdog babyface.

    Must save serious money on that. Now his theme makes sense.

    Verbal sparring between shows is all well and good but Becky slapping Ronda with a chair from behind on Raw would add a lot to the feud.

    I wonder if that was really Nikki's call up to the main roster or was it just for the English crowd like they did with Pete Dunne a while back.

    Never thought an accountant gimmick would take off, but it may yet pay dividends.

    Happy to see Nikki. As soon as the lights started, I knew it was her. At least Sanity were given something to do. And they will have a role at Survivor Series.
    What's with Bryan picking 2 older guys in Jeff and Rey?

    He was picking the baby faces and The Miz was picking the heels.

    Actually didn't realise how short they are on faces. Outside the tag teams and champs we have Rusev and Truth?

    I do miss her Irishness though, not a fan of the new accent

    She is killing it at the moment!

    I only realised this week that the lights for Becky's entrance are green, white and orange.

    Heelish move from Bryan

    I don't know if it's a new accent. It's clearly still a Dublin accent but if anything she has slowed down when she is talking. We Irish do talk very fast and at times that makes us unable to be understood and Becky at times spoke too fast and it didn't come across easy on TV.
