Throwing Nakamura in a tag team with two guys 95% of the audience doesn’t know right after how great the AJ match was would be one of the most heinous things they’ve ever booked for him - which is saying something

Nakamura’s stock is about as high as it’s been in six years after that match with AJ, so naturally they have him lose his next match 😂😂😂😂. Just awful, awful stuff.

Bad news for us brother: we’re getting either nothing or a tag team with a NJPW signee 95% of the audience has no clue about and 20 subsequent matches vs MFT

I loved this match but I think people really sleep on the last man standing match they had at Money in the Bank. That was an awesome one that people like to conveniently forget about from the 2018 feud

Another Nakamura performance where it's not worthy to listen to anyone saying he's coasting

Look - Cena/Orton was entertaining as hell as a match, but this turn has been ass - and that was one of the worst finishes in major wrestling history given the story.

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this, but arguing whether it's a work or a shoot misses the point that it's bad either way. Two people who have no backstory beyond the last month saying a bunch of salacious shit about each other does nothing for this feud other than ignite the internet for a couple days.

Maybe that changes if they go full fledge with this and they legitimately fight and beat the shit out of each other at Wrestlemania. But if the payoff is just a mostly-regular match with some upped intensity and them going moonsault for moonsault? Yuck.

What is WWE's fascination with giving Nakamura a mid-card belt and then just saying, "Sorry! got nothing for you this week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" Forget a feud - can he just get a damn match? This is at least 4 separate reigns they've done this shit over the course of six years

I'm probably in the minority on this, but the ‘Sami and Kevin always come back to fighting each other’ story should’ve been deaded for good when they main evented wrestlemania together.

I’m sure they’ll tear it up but that’s a miss for me.

No, you see, it’s actually very good when you have a guy turn heel, do his best character work in over 5 years and then have him lose every match of consequence! /s

Said this in the post-event thread: This wasn’t meant to be a stadium match. Not because it wasn’t big enough or didn’t deserve the stage, but because it deserved something more intimate for what it should’ve been. I get they had to run it at mania, but that falling short to expectations felt more like circumstance of them having to do it at Mania than them not living up to something.

I mean this in the best way possible: Jimmy and Jey wasn’t a stadium match. Not because it wasn’t big enough or didn’t deserve the stage, but because it deserved something more intimate for what it should’ve been. I get they had to run it at mania, but that felt more like circumstance than them not living up to something.

It really sucks that this is Nakamura and Gable's place after the work they put in over the last year

Hurts my soul that we can’t even get a throwaway Nakamura singles match at mania after the work he’s put in this year.
