WWE Week 29 [May 06-12]

WWE Raw
- Opening Segment
I think Roman's facial expressions told the story. The wildcard rule is so stupid, and further proves that WWE is panicking due to poor ratings. However I think the segment was fine, the promos by all were well done, Bryan especially. The "I'm brilliant" line was gold by Vince. Love him. 

- AJ/Vince/Seth
Well the transition into this part was poorly done, but whatever. The promos were fine, a bit bland from both guys. But that's really nothing new. Not feeling this feud. 

- Sami/Braun
After some great promos by Sami, they just make him someone that Braun can throw in a bin, and on top of that, turn it into a "comedy" segment with the garbage truck. sigh. R.I.P Sami in that case.  

- Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston
Fun match. Bryan was really great throughout the match. Bryan is at his best when sadistic bully breaking down limbs, which he did superbly on Kofi's arm. Kofi did some cool moves and the crowd got behind him, although you can tell the crowd was pretty much dead by this time in the show. ***

WWE Smackdown
- Kofi Kingston vs Sami Zayn vs AJ Styles
So much for AJ having a fresh environment. Nice to see Zayn didn't die either. Got really bored half way through so I made a decision not to waste my time. 

WWE NXT 
- The intro
It's so cringy. The lip syncing, the camera work, everything.

- Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle
Not sure why I watched this. A few people praised it but I didn't genuinely think that this will be anything better than solid, at best, with Cole in the mix. Riddle rules but this wasn't anything I'd recommend to people asking for Riddle recs or anything. Very generic match with a few counters and a few big moves but nothing that really grab you. Even the finish was poorly done, imo. Very forced. **
