If you watched ESPN 2, you had two matches.

On the app, you got three.

I...

My thought on it is that there was individual performances that really stood out, and it was the pay-per-view or PLE that advances stories and some that closed.

Like, for instance, with Roman Reigns and Jacob Batu.

You know, I really liked that matchup, and the build for it was great.

We had an understanding of why Jacob Batu wanted the World Heavyweight Championship.

We talked about this last week, and I got clarity to understand why Jacob Batu wants to do this

within his family wanting to be the world champion.

Who wouldn't want to be the world champion?

You got to justify it because even Jey Uso took on Roman Reigns and wanted to be world champion.

So this is not the first time that someone in the family says, hey, Roman, I want that.

So the matchup, I believe, delivered.

And then it extends afterwards because even though Roman won, it was Jacob Batu that won the battle.

And so now we're going to get a little bit more beat on the bone.

At first I thought, is this a one-off?

And now I think that this can extend into something special.

This is the Jacob Fatu that we were talking about, you and I, when he first came into the company because we saw him in MLW.

By the way, it was glaring omission by Michael Cole talking about the places where Jacob Fatu went.

Seemed to miss MLW.
