Thoughts:
Tables 4Way: This was an interesting opener as I expected it to be kinda spotty since there were Tables involved but it wasn't too spotty which was good in this case. Although I do say the match really picked up once the Tables got involved and had some pretty cool spots as well. Devitt double stomping Ziggler through a table from the top to the floor was sick! The final stretch was pretty cool and to see Edge come out on top was different as I wasn't really expecting him to win but it'll be interesting to see how he fares as champion.

KoW vs Steenerico: I was really looking forward to this match since it was announced and it really delivered to my expectations. I really think that the tornado rules really helped out this match out for it brought more action and spots to this match alon with the excitement that both teams bring to the match. The match itself though was amazing as both teams looked to pull out all the stops in order to secure the victory. While there were some spots that stood out, there'd be too many to try to cover as a majority of them stood out equally. The finishing sequence though with Claudio nailing Hero then getting the pile driver into the brainbuster in order for Steenerico to secure the win was even better. Post-match though was really intriguing as now the NWC wants a shot at the gold which will be really amazing to see and I'm certianly looking forward to but one team that I wish was there currently is Austin Aries & Roderick Strong as I feel like they could bring a whole lot more of excitement to the Tag Team Division.

Jericho vs Bryan: I loved their match at Mania but wanted to see more afterwards and this match certainly was it because if there was ever a feud or series of matches that didn't need weapons to be good it was this one as these two are masters of the ring and submission wrestling as well. I felt that this match though was reall better than Mania as they told a better story, more intensity involved, and the ways that they worked a body part on each other was phenomenal. The attempts at multiple dives by Bryan only to get countered on the second one and be driven into the barricade on the second one thus doing more damage to the back was great. I also like how Jericho did other things in order for his submission to be successful while Bryan utilized submission in order to damage Jericho's arm and make his submission attempt later on successful. I found it unique though how Bryan hit the knee and the locked on the cross arm breaker while trapping the leg forcing Jericho to submit. The reason to why I found it unique is that I would've suspected Bruan to utilize the Labell Lock and not the cross armbreaker to secure the win but it worked in this case as it showed that Bryan can make anyone tap using any type of arm submission.

Punk vs Orton: I really liked how this started out as a brawl and continued that way cause you could really feel the hatred between these two as the match went on. Them eliminating the commentators at the beginning then using the table for further annihilation was amazing as it's showed Orton's rage and how he didn't care for who he hurt. I don't think I have much else to say except that Punk's elbow off the stage was awesome and that one should really see this match in order to understand the brutality that was displayed in this match. Although I do think that the finish was pretty cool but I'm not sure what to think as Punk was all over Orton most of it and then to see Orton end it by the punt.....kinda cool but different for how I thought it would go but this was a great way to end the feud. Post-Match though I was heavily shocked to see Wyatt strike Orton and nail Sister Abigal which has me wondering what's next for these two as well as Punk.

Taker vs Lesnar: I don't really know he to go about this because I feel like this match was almost a flashback to the Last Man Standing match Taker had with Batista in regards to the finish. But besides the finish this match overall was pretty good as there was some thing that are indescribable in this match. For example the tombstone off the apron was ridiculous! Besides that and the spear that finished off both men this was simply just an all out fight between these guys.

Cena vs Batista: This was pure Carnage! I say that because that's all this was was mayhem, destruction, and the showcasing of how much pain they could inflict on each other. They not only tried to destroy each other but they attempted to destroy the arena as well as they broke the barricades, the announce table, and took the ring apart. They also kept my full attention in this match which is not something I thought was going to happen but all the spots really caught my attention and brought a level of excitement that I was unsure of if they could but that two delivered to the level at which they could. The ending though showed how much Cena wanted to retain the title as well as defeat Batista as he disassembled the top rope and then used it to force Batista to submit which was great.

Overall: This show was AMAZING!! I loved how most of the matched showcased violence and brutality while others brought the wrestling and really balanced this show out and really made it that much better as some feuds didn't need weapons to have an amazing match and others did to show the hatred that they had for their opponent. MOTN goes to Jericho vs Bryan as they showcased violence and hatred with wrestling. This show also brought something that I love the most and that's TABLES!! This show really played to my love of table spots and that helped keep my attention and really made the show that much better. Not a bad match at all on this show and I highly recommend everyone watched this.
