While the show wasn’t exceptional, the commentary was actually on point this week (especially the quip by Austin Aries about Akira Tozawa’s teeth).
However, the announce team did make two hilarious botches through the course of the night. The ‘kip up' by Braun Strowman was referred to as ‘nipping up’ by Byron Saxton. We wonder exactly what he was thinking of at that point! Surely, it couldn’t be Charly Caruso’s rather low cut dress, right?

Corey Graves was great as always, except when he referred to Cesaro as Claudio, his real name. We are certain that Vince wouldn’t have been too happy backstage with that. As long as he doesn’t refer to The Undertaker as Mark, I suppose we are good for now.
Another botch really comes from the lack of WWE logic this week. So The Big Show and Braun Strowman were in the ring during the Royal Rumble with several other men and the ring didn’t have to be reinforced back then? However now, it does?
