I was pretty meh about it. I agree with you guys on Rusev/Big E... that could be a real nice mid-card feud if they did it right.
The 1st (non-title) ladder match was super predictible, and while it had a few good spots, it wasn't great. the 2nd one was terrible. For a solid 5 minutes it was 'wrestler A is all alone climbing the ladder, wrestler B suddenly grabs him, hits a big move, then climbs the ladder alone.' Rinse. Repeat. I think they when through every guy in the match doing that before the finish. The 'bridge' spot was overdone, too.
The tag title match was the hilight for me. The Dust twins/Rybaxel match was good, but I wasn't into it... they've fought on raw like 20 times at this point. The Women's Title match was good, but I didnt' feel like there was any chance Paige would lose.. she was clearly secondary to the Naomi-Cameron feud they're clearly doing next (probably for Total Divas)... it's a shame they try so hard to make the Diva's title an afterthought, because the women's wrestling is getting worlds better lately.
Sandow's 'the elbow is coming' was epic, but I hate seeing him wasted as a comedy act.
My biggest gripe was the illogic of it all. Where were HArper and Rowan during the MiTB match? Where was Ambrose and Rollins? Why didn't Reigns save Ambrose from Kane? Cena winning made total sense to me (even if I didn't like it)... they gives them the options of Lesnar, Bryan (if healthy) or Wyatt for the next title program, while letting the Shield Authority thing continue right under it
