#1: Triple H's 25th Anniversary celebration was a weird parody filled with bloopers and inside jokes

Triple H was joined by Shawn Michaels to celebrate his 25 years with the company at the end of the episode.

Ric Flair, Stephanie McMahon, and Road Dogg made cameos via video calls throughout the segment.

But Vince McMahon's appearance was the one that baffled everyone the most. From Gobbledy Gooker references to Bayley's disastrous "This is Your Life" segment, Mr. McMahon made all sorts of insider callbacks while mocking Triple H at the same time.

The segment came to a close when McMahon claimed that he loves Triple H, and went out to point that the anniversary celebration is still a terrible segment, thus bringing the theme of terrible segments to a full-circle.

Mr. McMahon told them to wrap it up and turned out the lights on Triple H's celebration to end the episode.

There are two sides to this conversation where some viewers hated it and the other half loved the segment for the self-parody it was.

To me, it came off as a situation where all characters involved deflated the energy of the room on purpose, perhaps to intentionally make this a bad segment to a point where it is actually enjoyable.
