I saw that too.

Also, when Brock’s music hit, for a split second, you could see Heyman’s face drop before the camera cut away to the stage. Sometimes, it’s the little things.

Ending seemed a little abrupt, and I’m surprised it was a relatively clean finish (Heyman pushing the rope to Roman being a minor thing). I wonder when they go from there with both of these guys?

 

Yeah, the ending felt off to me. Like they cut things short for some reason. But may have just been weird booking.

 

When Roman was backing up the ramp and they flashed the copyright logo, there was part of me wondering if we'd all of a sudden hear "IF YOU SMELL..." and begin a year-long build to Los Angeles, like they did with Rock-Cena 2.

 

Over the entire two nights, I think the only match the crowd didn't seem into at all was Edge vs. Styles. That was a bit of a plodder, but with the potential for a great match between those two you'd have thought the crowd would be into it for at least the first half. That was a weird match.

 

bit of an HHH/Batista feel where they went for a slow, story mat-ish based match and the crowd wanted a hot spot fest

overall Dallas was awesome, loud and hot for almost everything and a great character to all the events of the weekend. Some great great pops and reactions, Cody most of all but both of Austin’s entrances right up there

 

Day 1 definitely had the edge over Day 2. More moments than the other.

Where Day 1 had Cody and the shock of Austin's great performance, Day 2 really just had Austin's stunner parade.

For one, I think they would've been better served by splitting up the two women's title matches. Maybe move Becky/Bianca to Day 2, since I'm sure Charlotte and Ronda would have too much ego to play second fiddle to Roman and Brock.

 

Can't wait to see him come out tonight as Funkasaurus Jr.

 

So, what's going to be the trademark "Raw after Mania" shock or twist tonight?

- The return of one of the missing women (Bayley, Asuka, Lacey Evans)?
- The introduction of a new top belt for Raw?
- Reggie dumps Dana to run off with Tozawa?

 

i hope A. I hope a fire Cody promo and an incredible first feud for Ciampa. Maybe even a Gargano return and they redebut as DIY

I think we see Roman pull double duty for a while like Becky 2 Belts. No need to complicate matters with another title

 

Pat McAfee breaks down his match on his show today. Hard to tell for sure, but he makes it sound like some of his parts in the McMahon/Austin bits might have been ad-libbed, or he was at least somewhat unaware of what was supposed to happen.

 

What a freakin' promo. Not taking long to start the build toward Cody vs. Roman.
