⭐️Kayhan: This is pretty basic wrestling stuff. Gunther the heel with the post match attack. Ok. Ok. This is all fine and good but it’s not really making me feel anything, especially already knowing the result… And A Town Down Under is involved, so, that sucked 😆.

⭐️Kayhan: Well I was wrong. I was guessing Roman was gonna sit out WrestleMania, but ok. Triple threat. The bookings all right. I would have preferred Roman vs Drew… Also, this match was ridiculous. So many finishers, not enough selling… Also, Seth was literally by the cage door when Roman pulled him out. He coulda just crawled out by himself! I hate the escape the cage through the door rules!!…Also, there’s the whole thing about Punk and the favor. I’m curious to see if they tie that up in any good way… So I’m giving this a begrudgingly unenthusiastic Orange Cassidy half thumbs up. YEAH it’s 3 superstars and it’s all well and good, but it’s not what i was hoping for.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: I will say it was a little funny to me that the comedian said he was here to see the Steel Cage match, not Logan. But overall, I find this feud to be a sad waste of whatever AJ Styles has left in the tank at this point in his career. If Logan Paul wants to be a wrestler, he should get a gimmick, is what I’d recommend, to maybe make him more interesting…
