That divas match nailed it.

That was great length. A great display by both sides, saw maybe two questionable mistakes.

But overall, team AJ showedd their skill. Nattie was awesome. Bellas didn't show up as much, but they were good.

Right there was something WWE should aim for. It could have been better, but length wise it was perfect.

Good show.

Best part of the match was The Bellas working the crowd and getting that legendary heat. :banderas Can't recall any other diva getting bombarded with that much heat in a while. Just shows how effective they are as heels and also reaffirmed why they are among the greatest heels of all time.

The match itself was good, too. They were all serviceable, yes including AJ (even though she botched Nikki's Alabama Slam). I have little complaints.

You should apply for a job as a spin master for a politician.

It was solid. Natalya with a solid German Suplex on Paige. Nikki Bella with a decent looking slam (powerbomb?) on Naomi. And the match finished with a finisher (a crappy finisher but a finisher).

Oh look, it's more people pretending the Divas are great.

Ronda Rousey got a bigger chant at the start of the show and she wasnt even there. The divas match was still the worst of the night.

The more time they get, the more I wish I'd recorded it instead of watching it live so I could skip.

Oh look, it's another guy bashing the divas just to sound cool.

Let me correct you by saying the divas match was nowhere near being the worst match of the night. All girls really delivered and actually got the crowd interested if you pay attention. In fact, the two matches that followed were the shittiest matches of the night -- YES, I'm including the main-event.

That was easily the best divas match I've seen in ages. It was no AE/Ruthless aggression era type of match.
You are right it was no Attitude Era/Ruthless agression era match. And by that I mean it didn't last 8 minutes while the fans chanted "We want puppies" and "HLA". Which was the description of 90% of the women's matches from that era, everyone just remembers the 10 times it was better.

Frankly the match tonight, while I admit objectively was not a 5-star match was definitely the best the Divas have been in a while. And the most the fans have been into a Divas match in a long time.

But frankly, tonights match would have been good for a AE/RA era Divas match, especially compared to the TV matches of the time. People over romanticize the Divas matches of the 90's and 2000's. They aren't as far removed from WWE Divas matches of today as people let nostalga paint them as.

At least even at their worst today no one chants for their puppies or thinks "The women are in the ring... I WANT HLA".

It's obvious she didn't get pop of the night though. The crowd were going nuts with Lesnar out there.

Of course, Paige is a better wrestler, bigger draw, more entertaining and can take a punch better than Brock -IWC

Yeah that had to be an exaggeration. Lesnars segment was honestly the only good segment of raw today. Also I don't think anyone has ever said that Paige is a better wrestler or bigger draw than Lesnar.

My biggest issue with the Bellas is that they stall their matches to the point where it takes away. Little more back and forth wouldn't hurt, we get the whole "twin dominance" shtick.

They've repeated this formula a lot recently. Nikki is designed to be a heel and you can totally tell Brie should be a face -- an accurate representation of their spouses LOL.

Actually this is kind of the case with every woman in that match if you think about it. Which I guess isn't that odd.

Nikki and Cena - Cut throat, stomp on your face to get to the top, heels

Brie and Bryan - Nice people, legit babyfaces

AJ and CM Punk - Odd, aloof, loners that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H must hate

Nattie and Tyson - Great wrestlers, with much more personality than they're allowed to show

Naomi and Uso - Better than they're given credit for with more personality than they're given credit for

I have to watch the replay when I got home, but the crowd was bonkers during the divas match. I don't know how it came off on tv, but there were some ridiculous chants. My God. "You suck Cena, you suck Bryan, you suck Tyson, you suck Uso."
But then the mature people chanted let's go divas.
Paige did get the loudest diva pop.

Thank you for verifying what I have been saying. Apparently some just don't want to believe it for whatever reason.
