I saw nothing but the GIF of the finish and immediately I was like.....need a quick rewrite here.

Seriously. We are bombarded with all these different angle replays during matches all the time...but now suddenly they don't have a replay available in 2017? Oh that's because every other angle would show Styles clearly hit first. Would've been extremely easy for Vince to tell Daniel that he "saw the replay in the back" or some **** and just award it to Luke.

At least Daniel Bryan didn't blow out a quad while coming to the ring to make his announcement

Feel bad for Harper though. He finally gets thrust into the main event scene and he ****s up (that botch was clearly his fault). I wouldn't put it past Vince to take him out of the title match at WM IF that was the original plan.

Its not that big of a deal to me. I mean you have to suspend some belief watching in the first place.

That's a pretty amazing conclusion to jump to, but alright.

They'll use the most favorable angle/edit online and in a promo package next week, they'll do the Styles vs Harper match, and the story will go on.

I can't imagine what it would take to change up plans on the fly as events unfold, but how can you continue on with the "we don't know who won" storyline when it was botched that badly lol.

Just kayfabe suspend the ref for botching the call and say that they can't reverse the decision, it's a draw. Put them both in the title match or have them go 1 on 1 next week

Because it's a minor plot point in the overall story. It looks bad at the time, but they'll just skim over it, move on, and continue with whatever Harper's and Styles' stories are going into Mania.

Literally disappointed the WWE didn't show the replay on whether or not Styles or Harper touched first. Makes me wonder if it was a legit botch. I was trying to pay attention to Harper's mannerisms after the match but can't tell if he was legit mad or just trying to hype up his character.

Did not expect Cena to eliminate The Miz and then Miz retaliating by throwing him out after. Perfect timing with Maryse having enough of Nikki bumping into her for the last few weeks. The intergender tag team match is happening. Oh yeah, the Falls Count Anywhere Match between Nikki and Natalya was actually good. I was impressed with the bumps they were taking. And Alexa Bliss is the Women's Champ again. Thank god. She has impressed me the most out of all the new superstars.

WWE actually put a replay up on their Twitters after the show, then took it down with the quickness.

That usos promo was great. Probably their best promo ever. More guys in WWE need promos like that. Short,intense/emotionally charged,to the point.
