Night 1:

Overall Show Score: 5/10

Pros: IShowSpeed splash Logan Paul thought a table. Jacob Fatu beat Drew McIntyre. Becky Lynch became a 3rd time Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Gunther beat Seth Rollins. Paige, Bron Breakker & Bianca Belair all returns. Bianca Belair announced her pregnancy & Pat McAfee gotten himself beaten up a lot during the main event. 

Cons: That Video package was lame.  Brie Bella and Paige are wrong team winning those tag team title belts. Referee jessika carr didn’t get in bored that much. Too many ads breaking in between the event. Stephanie Vaquer failed to retain her Women’s World Title. Each women’s match gotten shorter and shorter as the last one. Randy Orton failed to get his 15th WWE Championship and failed to deliver on a double turn between both Cody and Randy.   

Night 2:

Overall Show Score: 8/10

Pros: Oba Femi beat Brock Lesnar in his PLE debut. Penta retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship. Trick Williams wins the United States Championship for the first time. Rhea Ripley wins the WWE Women’s Championship and that night 2 main event was a improvement over night 1 main event.

Cons: Rey Mysterio & Je’Von Evans didn’t win the ladder match. One commercial ad goes black. No Iyo Vs. Auska. DanhausenMiz segment was felt a waste of time & now the World Championship is in the hands of a part-timer.
