Coincidentally, when Jay-Z rapped about being made in the 80s, he specifically mentioned "Oliver North, Iran Contra". And I felt simultaneously very seen and very old.
And that was over a decade ago 😩.

This thing where Finn Balor is like the Fight Club narrator getting eased out by Dom/Liv as Tyler Durden is dragging a bit.
Yes I understand that the rivalry for the IC title was just a chapter, but it could have ended there.
Let's see where they go with this tag team thing (seems obvious though).

Roxanne Perez vs Rhea Ripley:

Rhea and Roxanne are applying psychology very well. Having Rhea dominate while Roxanne occasionally evens the odds by working a knee and high-flying makes sense.
The match is giving 123 Kid vs Razor Ramon.

I like where this angle is going, even though this Giulia running - expected as it was - annoyed me.
I like the well-worn idea of NXT upstarts wreaking havoc on main. Also like the Iyo-Rhea partnership.

Straightforward presentation of the new stable by Seth, Heyman, and Breakker.
I would have loved to hear some talking from Paul, but Seth handled it well enough.

Sami was perfect choice to confront Seth. A good friend, popular babyface, and character now known for a strong moral compass. Plus their history of opposing both Roman & Punk. Sami can say "you're NOT the thing we've both said we are".
With ultimatum to Sami, this is clearly main Raw heel faction.

Walk-ins:
Rhea got a huge pop. They don't care that she Karened her way to WrestleMania.
No reaction for Roxanne Perez and Ivy Nile and American Made.
Big pop for Stephanie.
Heat for Logan Paul.

Yo Triple H, how come we got New Day vs Viking Biker Raider Clashing Clan at WrestleMania instead of *this* TLC banger with Street Profits, DIY, and MCMG?!

I'm trying to see the booking logic of not having the Women's US Championship - a NEW title - at WrestleMania, only to have Chelsea Green lose it on Smackdown the next week.
President Chelsea made something out of almost nothing with her title story and at least deserved to get to do business at WM.

They need to pull the trigger on this Fatu/Solo split. But this "I made you" vs "I made it without you" thing is logical.

It's remarkable how many pre-WrestleMania feuds are still going after Mania.
Conventional wisdom is to blow them off at the top show (both to give fans the highest payoff and to preserve WM's aura). I'll need to analyse these feuds to see whether exceptions were justified and if so, whether so many.
