That was a much better effort than The Greatest Royal Rumble (not saying much I know!). I wonder if they tried to put some extra effort in considering the shitstorm WWE faced going ahead with it.

 

The set looked great, good atmosphere and the Superstars didn't look like they couldn't wait to get out of there like last time :)

 

Loved the flying carpet entrance for New Day :tongue:

 

I wonder how much Brock/Braun got paid for that effort :lol:

 

Was surprised to see Shane win the World Cup, as ridiculous as it was, I guess it sets up the Survivor Series inter-brand feuds.

 

That chokeslam by Kane on Triple H through the screens on the table was the first time in a while that I don't remember anyone clearing the table before putting anyone through it.

 

Overall an okay show...although some of the booking was just :brickwall:
