[Kam 243]

I was surprised this was a regular 2 hour show, thought it would be 3.

 

Great crowd all night.

 

It was nice to Vince again, I heard it wasn't doing great health wise a while back but he looked pretty good.

 

I guess we're getting Triple H vs Batista at Rumble or Mania next year then :)

 

The tag title change seemed a little random but I guess it adds to the significance of it being a special show.

 

Rey still looks great...Nakamura, on the other hand, has barely been seen and when he does appear he loses too often!

I thought the show was a little underwhelming, Nice to see Evolution together, and planted the seed for a potential Batista HHH down the line, Cutting Edge I love edge but I felt he was another tool used to try and make Becky come across as a heel, the opening segment was meh, but Carmella looked hot though, so I guess we say Big Show heel number 1000, nice win for Uso's and the bar, and great to see Rey back, though they could have Taker do more than just push Crown Jewel match.

I loved truth TV. Hated the taker segment as it took longer for him to walk to the ring then the actual promo. Awesome to see Edge back (cant wait for the return of the edge and Christian show). A lot better then raws 25th
