Well I thought this event was pretty good, not great but better than the Royal Rumble - even though the triple threat WWE title match at the Rumble was better than anything from this one! Anyway - let's get to the matches:

1. Six-man tag match: Ziggler/Rowan/Ryback vs. Rollins/Kane/Big Show: Honestly I haven't cared much for 6-man tag matches since the Fabulous Freebird days! But this one wasn't all that bad and quite entertaining at the end with the return of one of my favorites Randy Orton, he hit the ring whooping everybody which was great to see - reminded me of the old Mid-South days when Jim Duggan would jump in and clear the ring of Scandar Ackbar's cronies with his 2 X 4!! HOOOOO-OOOOO!!! LOL! Big Show gets the knockout on Ziggler who looks like he's waiting for it with his head stuck out of the ring!! Authority wins before Orton arrives! Rating: 7/10

2. Goldust vs. Stardust: Is it me, or do the storywriters split up tag-teams way too often? I think the Rhodes bros. should have stayed together - they were a great tag-team ... but I will say they had a pretty good singles match here! Cody acts like he goes crazy with his Stardust persona and that he's abandoning his real identity - both Dustin and Dusty try to talk some sense into him, but he won't listen so this match had to come about! Loved Dusty's segment back-stage telling Dustin not to hurt Cody... which he didn't, it was a clean match with a rollup win for Dustin! Afterwards here comes Cody with an attack on Dustin in front of Dusty! Pretty cool stuff!! 7/10

3. Tag-team title match: Usos vs. Cesaro/Tyson Kidd: What?? No Miz/Mizdow?? HALLELUJAH!!!! This was the best tag match I've seen in a while! Both teams looked great - loved the one-legged Cesaro swing on one of the Usos! Some spots should have ended the match but the Uso would kick out, not looking very realistic (but I don't guess it's supposed to now and days)... anyway - Kidd finally hits a snap-Perfect-plex for the win... Congrats to them! 8/10

4. Sting/Triple H showdown segment: This was just plain build-up with Triple H doing all the talking and running down WCW... he failed to mention that he got his start as a mid-carder in WCW before ending up in WWE. Sting didn't say anything - just stared... Triple H with a cheap shot and a mini beatdown before Sting grabs his bat and winds up hitting the Scorpion death-drop. Pretty good segment but wish Sting would have talked! LOL! 6/10

5. Divas title match: Nikki vs. Paige: Well the Bellas are looking beautiful as always - always happy to see them no matter how their matches go!! Love their cute little yellow outfits!!! This match went okay but I missed Nikki's forearm smash which I love seeing!! Paige has come into her own and has proven herself as a top contender! If Nikki doesn't watch out she'll lose - but she didn't!! Got the roll-up for the win!! YIPPEE!! Would have been 8/10 with Nikki's forearm smash - without it it gets a 7/10 from me!

6. IC title match: Barrett vs. Ambrose: Eh- this was an okay match but didn't like the DQ ending! Didn't Ambrose know if he didn't quit the stomping in the corner he'd be DQ'd?? The ref warned him plenty of times! Some good spots in this one with Barrett hitting his Wasteland move, etc.,,, 6/10.

7. U.S. title match: Rusev vs. Cena: Now this was the best match of the night! Rusev getting the power moves on Cena and Cena hitting plenty of his Butch Reed flying shoulder blocks! Loved the ending with Lana (who's looking lovely as always) distracting the ref and allowing Rusev to hit the low-blow - followed by the Accolade camel-clutch for the win! 9/10

8. Bray Wyatt segment - another buildup spot where Wyatt sits up out of a coffin and makes a speech about the Undertaker... kinda interesting I guess - at least Wyatt isn't afraid of the casket like most of Undertaker's opponents were back in the day... 5/10

9. #1 Contender Match: Reigns vs. Bryan: Paul Heyman said in his pre-show interview that neither man could beat Lesnar - my sentiments exactly!! This match started off slow with a cat/mouse game with Bryan getting a few kicks in - I didn't think Reigns looked all that great - maybe it was becaue he was getting over his hernia - but I thought he went slower than usual. Anyway it picks up during the last 10 mins. with Reigns kicking out of Bryan's flying knee - Reigns hits his spear with Bryan covering his ribs with his left arm (smart move on his part) - Reigns is the winner and #1 contender! If Reigns doesn't do any better than this he won't last 5 mins. with Lesnar!! 7/10

Overall this was an okay event but really only served as a buildup for WrestleMania! Recommended for true WWE fans!
