Seth really became Iron Man during these past two nights. He sacrificed everything he had just to give the future a chance. Amazing storytelling!

[@johnwarner4178]

he deserves a standing ovation, which I am sure he will get if he announces a break tonight or when he returns

[@Oujiii]

​@@johnwarner4178 I hope he gets one more segment with Cody before he goes on a break. We need to give the man his flowers before he disappears for a while.

[@vb2806]

I hope Seth meets Cody then Rock interferes and says there is always a plan B and Cody hits Seth with a chair

[@TheRealAb216]

Hope he gets some well deserved time off with Becks to go be mommy and daddy.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

In terms of WWE/Wrestlemania, you are correct. He was the workhorse in Saturday's main event and then put on a strong showing in Sunday's opener before being annihilated in Sunday's main. However, if we're looking across the entire landscape of wrestling across the weekend, Speedball Mike Bailey worked 9 shows from Thursday through Saturday.

[@Scotch1927]

The Rock: I'm the Fucking Final Boss! The Undertaker: Hold my urn

[@riotd.r.8363]

Like in Super Street Fighter II when you're about to fight M. Bison but Akuma hits him with the Raging Demon.

[@Fafne]

*Gong*

[@SevenWD40]

CM Punk took holding his urn literally.

[@LordLOC]

Yeah, but will it lead to anything? Rock can still go apparently lol but can Undertaker pull off a high-profile match in, assumedly a year or so? WWE aren't going to do a Rock vs. UT match for Backlash or anything less than one of the big 4 shows, and I doubt very much it'd be anything other than Wrestlemania in the end.

[@jonathanmaldonado2499]

The Rock was, everyone else was just a summon during A Cutscene.

"Buckle Up, Teddy!"

[@reggiecousar7871]

Aw man I wanted to say that first 😢

[@nancykorensek4083]

Seth Rollins was the lynchpin who held the whole thing together. The trust and confidence he has earned from WWE is admirable.

[@BushinRyuCat]

Yes, and also......Seth wore the Shield outfit on purpose to distract Roman, but *what if* it was to also let Roman get his revenge at last? Maybe he wanted to reunite with his 'old friend' again & the only way was to get him out of the Bloodline, which wouldn't had formed if not for Seth's betrayal??? 🤔

[@mikebishop6707]

My favorite moment of the entire weekend was the handshake between Cody and Seth at the end. What a way to finish the story that Seth was interjected to.

[@yoholmes273]

Absolutely not

[@raymondowens]

[@NationalSportsEntertainmentNSE]

I'm not going to lie if I wasn't so invested in Stone Cold I would have been a little disappointed because they actually teased it which was messed up for anybody who really wanted Mox Graves even said are they here? Or something like that. I just think especially because I found out afterwards it was national beer Day you got to have the glass shatter at some point Even at the end for a toast would have been great

[@theprfesssor]

The Rock screaming at Cena GET THE F*CK OF THE RING was hilarious i lost it.......then that bell....that ominous bell rang.....great main event definitely a era defining match Hats to the Rock for giving up his spot and helping create all this

Roman Reigns has reached that icon level. In 10-15 years when you hear that bass note and the choir sing, the crowd will pop in the same way they did last night for Cena, The Rock, and Taker.

Michael Coke had a great call when Taker showed up, "Holy Christ!!! The Deadman cometh!!!"

I love these Ups and Downs where Simon engages with the post-Mania crowds so much. They make me, dare I say, feel warm and fuzzy in my tum-tum.

[@awelcruiz]

I can't stand them myself. IMO, Simon is at his best when he's focused, and that's impossible when he's surrounded by drunk, rowdy fans. At least he's enjoying himself, though.

[@Darth_Hitman_]

Night 2 was near perfection and so much better than Night 1. Every match was at least fun with the main event an incredible roller coaster ride. Fantastic. I would have to agree with all ups and no downs, even with me being usually very selective. Snoop Dogg was lots of fun (as always) and more than made up for a terrible Li'l Wayne on Night 1. Bayley vs Iyo Sky was tremendous. The Philly Street Fight was a good ride - not a classic, but a fun match. And the crowd volume and energy was so much louder and better than the freezing Night 1. I loved Night 2. What pro wrestling should be. Golden up.

[@kc1john]

The Philly Street Fight was good filler. It’s kind of funny though that the best spot in that match came from B-Fab and Scarlett.

[@remove_music]

Been watching wrestling for almost 20 years now and I think that final match and ending was one of the best moments I've ever witnessed. Everyone involved was just perfect.

[@johnbennett4600]

I totally marked out for the overbooked main event! What a weekend!

[@gr8daynegb]

Think Cody losing would have been the only real wrong/bad decision they could have made. As long as Cody won people would look the other way.

[@KurtIsRandom]

The most anticipated Ups and Downs

[@MythicalMutt]

I’m so puzzled by how many people were confused by Seth Rollins’ part in the main event. He was the MVP of the weekend in my book. He is The Architect. The one last thing he can do to get inside Roman’s head is put on his old Shield gear, and come in to their theme. Roman never got his get-back from that betrayal. He never beat Rollins clean. Not only does the Shield entrance mean that Roman and Rock have to stop and look for him, but Roman sprints across the ring to punch Rollins instead of going after Cody. Rock stops to yell at Rollins instead of hitting Cody with the belt. Then, in the 11th hour, when Roman can finish Cody off for good and win the match, he glances back and sees Rollins clawing his way back to his feet. In that moment, he chooses revenge over victory and hits Seth. SETH IS THE LITERAL SHIELD THAT TAKES THE PUNISHMENT AND LETS CODY GET BACK TO HIS FEET.

[@MsIkon226]

👏 👏 👏 👏

[@tomseville2345]

Because he looked like a jobber when his first appearance on camera in Shield gear was *immediately* getting wiped out by Roman...

[@arunrana9887]

that is so well put brother.

[@jeebugorn]

Simon, you are fresh from the PPV/PLE doing it live, but you missed the symbolism of Seth Rollins in Shield gear in the main event. he came out..and was Cody's shield, and Seth had said "Cody, I can be your shield" and everyone thought it was metaphorical, but he was speaking literally.. he took the chair shot instead of Cody, and Cody got the win. *chef's kiss* beautiful storytelling.

I really enjoyed Bayley and Iyo, and Snoop's nature video commentary. The ending was nuts, but Cody and Roman had a pretty good full match before all that.
