Thoughts: It was a total spotfest like all of these are. You could just watch the highlights and see everything. We really didn't see a ton of anyone here as only 2-3 people would be in the ring at any time. It was just your average MITB and hopefully nobody got hurt off of it. I'm really surprised they didn't have CM Punk to come out and interfere in this one.

Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of Bron losing here. I'm not saying he should have won either, but his losses should be minimized. It was a good match as expected though Sami should have been roughed up more so he could sell more and put Bron over more. 

Trish Stratus, who is the host of this, appears. She talks about her career real quick and brings out John Cena. Cena has a towel that says "The Last Time Is Now". Cena heads to the ring.

Cena talks to the fans and says he is officially announcing his retirement from WWE. He says he wants to talk about Canada. He says Canadians always show up. He says Raw is moving to Netflix and he will be there for it as he has never been on Netflix. He says The 2025 Royal Rumble and 2025 Elimination Chamber will be his last.

He says Wrestlemania next year will be the last Mania he will do. He says he will field any questions in the press conference after. He says he wants to say thank you to all the fans. He says he wants to return to Toronto to kick some @ss.

Thoughts: Cena's 47, but he's a young 47. He can still move well and he's not super injured. They can say he's retiring, but I really don't believe it. It is wrestling after all and there's going to be a lot of money matches down the line which I think he will have a hard time passing up.

Punk grabs the title belt and nails Drew with it in the ring. Cole calls Punk "Phil" and asks what he's doing. Priest hits south of heaven on Drew and wins.

Thoughts: They were working a lot faster than they normally do and the match was rushed. You could tell something was up. This should have been an epic with what was on the line but was not.

They messed up final pin attempt before Drew came out. Priest forgot to kick out and the lights got turned on when they shouldn't have and that further hurt things.

Drew was also a total idiot here. Instead of waiting for the match to end and catching someone hurt and off guard, he made it a triple threat which wasn't smart.

Punk ended up screwing Drew which made sense but I wish it would have happened during MITB. Then the briefcase would still be in play for a while which gives you more story to work with and could have maybe helped someone else get over. 

Seth yells at Punk after and Punk stands on the commentary table as they argue.

Thoughts: Like the Men's MITB, it was a spotfest. It wasn't as good of one though as the girls had some sloppy moments and the talent level was just not the same. It was nice to see Tiff win as that was the right call but the build to her winning hasn't been good at all. She likely got punished for a post she made about Jade as she was on the backburner for months leading up to this. 

Trish Stratus and Tiff Stratton interviewed. Tiff said she just won MITB and says Trish should say something to her for it. Tiff says she's going viral. Trish said she was going to congratulate her but she says not to get too arrogant. She says what happens with her MITB win is what matters - will she be a flash in the pan or a hall of famer like her? Tiff says isn't it sad Trishy time is over and says Tiffy time has just begun.

Thoughts: If you were looking for a wild one here with big spots, it wasn't that at all. The biggest spot here with a small table spot. It was a good main but not great and far from anyone's best work. This was something you'd expect on a Raw or SD ep than a PPV.

Overall thoughts: There were only five matches here. Nothing was great and the women had some sloppiness issues as usual. Nothing was awful though either and the big notes here match relates as Cena announced he was retiring and Punk screwing Drew. It was good overall but not must see.
