I’m a big fan of the World Title goes on last, unless it’s the Rumble, I get why they might not want to go that route, because Gunther and Jey Uso feels more like a mid to upper-midcard match. Not necessarily their fault when the story has been bland, that’s on creative.
Yet, This triple threat match would still have been my opener, a decent match but outside of Rollins it’s an older fella and a Part-timer, big stars all of them, but it’s not my must watch and pay good money for this match-up. You get some big stars out first, a match you know will be decent storytelling and have Paul Heyman ready to pop at any second because he still owes Punk a favor, it’s a good crowd pumper, IMO.
I’m also not big on John Cena and Cody, but I’m hoping but not betting on Cena to get that big win on Night 2.
I know a lot of you are super anti-Punk, and I get that, but WWE metrics show he’s still a big draw with the crowd that can afford tickets and merch which I assume is why he got put in this position.
