Enzo Amore is not a acceptable wrestler.
Showman, yes. Wrestler, no.
Listening to an able in-ring artisan like Nigel McGuinness attack to put over his in-ring action during Sunday's bout was about depressing, abnormally as he formed a headlock for what acquainted like an eternity.
He bumps able-bodied and was a solid abundant abject for Kalisto throughout the aerial spots, but the bout never did abundant to boom up absorption in the bout or accomplish any blazon of abiding reaction.
Given how over Amore had become as a heel, and the television time adherent to the rivalry, it was a disappointment, to say the least.

An ice-cold absence that would accept struggled to accretion absorption on Raw let abandoned a pay-per-view, the challenge bootless miserably to accomplish interest.

The two should accept brought altered dynamics to the match, but instead, the bout became bogged bottomward in blow holds and monotony.
Jordan's baby amalgamation rollup brought it to a merciful end.

The Tables, Ladders & Chairs bout was a disasterpiece of sorts.
It was hot debris on a summer day, but it was still weirdly entertaining.
Overbooked, with too abundant activity on and what looked to be a annihilation arena out on the WWE Network for anybody to see, it was a bout that stank of agony booking.
The adventure involving Kurt Angle abiding from abrasion and advance the ever-loving hell out of Sheamus, Cesaro, Kane and The Miz fabricated little sense. Yes, he is a accepted badass dating aback to his day as an abecedarian wrestler, but he is 48 years old and in no way should be unleashing hell on Superstars in the bosom of their able-bodied primes.
Braun Strowman was not complex because he had been tossed in a debris compactor by his own teammates and ashamed to afterlife (or so it appeared) afore actuality apprenticed out of the ring.
Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins fought aback abundant to break in the action but apparently should accept succumbed to the barbarous advance they were dealt abundant earlier.
The Kane-Strowman ancillary story, booking Angle like Superman at the amount of Ambrose and Rollins, and the Raw accepted manager's captivation as an honorary Shield affiliate all came calm to accomplish for a array of storytelling, aimless "action" and a complete apathy for abiding booking.
It was a nice moment for Angle, but it did not account the adolescent aptitude who will be leaned on to backpack the advance for years to come.
Rating: **½, and that is generous
