Comments: this is the best match/match slot on this card by some distance.
Ranallo makes a mistake with; sunset flip power bomb by Cena, but it is a
sunset flip pin, but in fairness to Ranallo it is a stiff/hard looking and
sounding one, don't get me wrong nothing goes wrong but it has come because as
there is a little bit power in this move/transaction. Where I originally backed
up Ranallo a little bit, he unnecessarily corrected himself which makes it
wrong where he goes from a sunset flip power bomb pin to a code red which is
different. Now as I started with this pay-per-view to honour both Wyatt and
Harper, as this individual gets referenced on commentary I may as well bring
him into the mix RIP Umaga a.k.a. Edward Smith Fatu 1973-2009 aged just 36 the
same age as Wyatt/Rotunda. Ranallo for a second and then again corrects himself
from Styles to Ambrose just to make sure Otunga
says Ambrose nicely almost simultaneously as well. Then much later Otunga makes
a mistake but likewise corrects himself by saying 2000 then almost
instantaneously says 2016, it should be also noted that Phillips has not said a
word on commentary during this match so far [just to finish up this point
doesn't say a word in this match] and whilst I am back on the commentary team,
what I am about to say is based on speculation, observation and hearing; I just
wonder if someone over their headsets told Layfield to stop picking on Ranallo.
Because for this main event there is no friction and finally yes full
disclosure I added a couple of more marks to this match slot on the category of
Recommend Watch, because on reflection it is a must see based on considering it
was Wyatt's first main event championship and yes I know this is not the last
time I have said this or referenced it.
Basic Result: The Wyatt Family's Bray Wyatt is your new
WWE Champion Basic
walk-through of this event:
* John "Bradshaw" Layfield
Commentary; provides voice over a video replays of The Wyatt Family's Bray
Wyatt's theme music "Live In Fear" where at one point and Layfield
makes the mistake but corrects himself where he makes reference to the
phenomenon forearm, but he quickly changes that to the 450 splash [likewise in
fairness and balance Layfield possibly get confused because in the follow-up
replay here comes the phenomenal forearm.] We go back to live footage to see
Wyatt with it being dark and the usual lighting provided by the audience
members to see Randy Orton standing near and taking down his hoddy to Layfield
asking the question Orton vs. Wyatt at WrestleMania 33/2017? We leave this
pay-per-view with Wyatt still in the ring on his knees close-up of his face
smiling and laughing. On a very quick side note; does Tom Phillips' headset
still work? Testing, testing does this thing still work? Because we here
absolutely nothing out of him.
This Pay-Per-View receives: 7/10, this Pay-Per-View is good: I
know this is a strange place to begin but to cover my back I want to make this
crystal clear; yes absolutely I was going to give this pay-per-view one less
mark based on the Layfield Ranallo unprofessional situation and not forgetting
the fact that this pay-per-view isn't the most strongest on top of that either.
But however I didn't want to disrespect is momentous occasion with Wyatt winning
his first main event championship and what with my next paragraph, let's just
say I was conflicted so hence why I came to this mark, but to leave on a more
uplifting note; we all know in wrestling it is about how you leave them and
this main event as you can clearly see leaves things on a high.
Now be it Umaga [he gets referenced
on commentary by Layfield], Luke Harper/Brodie Lee or/and Bray Wyatt you may
have gone but the wrestling universe is a strange place so you will work like
any other wrestler or/and any other role will live on.
