Cena's always been a good talker and this was a well delivered promo with likely truthful elements of things he's felt over the years, but I'd have liked him to tie it back in specifically to what he did at Elimination Chamber, citing that he wants that record 17th World title for himself, and that Rock is a more assured path to that than the fickle fans. I thought Cody’s response was spot on, calling Cena out on being whiney and this version is no threat to him, now Cena's next move needs to be big.
The Women’s World title contract signing was a fun segment, Iyo's English is limited but she's getting strong reactions for how she talks, and Bianca is coolly confident. Then Rhea arrived, she cut that introspective promo after losing the title but now she's being booked essentially as a spoilt brat, even Pearce said "it's like talking to a child" which is not how you'd usually book your top face, I mean in this angle Bianca and Iyo haven't done anything wrong, they didn't screw Rhea, she lost focus, it makes me wonder if she's asked to go heel again. Also, that powerbomb spot was supposed to break the table I think, Rhea just didn't compensate for Iyo's lightness.
Bron vs Finn was a solid main event, it's good to see the Intercontinental title getting the showcase spot, I'm guessing from the finish it's going to be Bron vs Penta at Wrestlemania. i can't lie, Penta does absolutely nothing for me, I've seen way more exciting Luchadores.
