We break down the full card, why Night One feels like filler, and why Night Two might have to do all the heavy lifting. From CM Punk vs Roman Reigns to concerns around Cody Rhodes, Gunther, and the overall direction of WWE creative, nothing is off limits. We also dive into the shocking reported WWE return of Paige, what it means for the women’s division, and whether this is a nostalgia play or a genuine long-term move.
