#1 Things were kept ‘real’

Roman Reigns opened the night once again and called out Seth Rollins to ask him for one thing: a final chance to fight alongside his brothers as the Shield.
The Architect was hard to convince, but he agreed after Reigns talked about how important this was to him before Ambrose leaves.

This was a good way to get in touch with the fact that one of Raw’s superstars will indeed be leaving the company in the coming month. It was unexpected, but a nice touch which will help get the fans involved, even if the entire thing turns out to be a work.
Similarly, later in the night, Triple H came out to address the actions of Batista. HHH spoke about how important it was to him that Flair get his moment. He talked about his history with his mentor.
The Game then turned his attention to The Animal and said he was ready to fight him anywhere and would bring the real man, not the character, to this brawl.
This again made things feel more real than it actually was, and will help play out this entire story extremely well.
