The latest WWE supercard felt like a bridge between the last remnants of the rivalries which were the basis for WrestleMania 31 and the feuds which are to take centre stage over the summer in WWE. It didn't feel like essential viewing beforehand, and having seen the show, it is unlikely to be a contender for the card of the year. However, there was still enough high-quality action to make it a worthwhile three hours.

The show opened with a rematch from Extreme Rules between Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus. This, as you may recall, stemmed from the "Kiss Me A--e" match at the previous PPV which Ziggler won but with Sheamus having been the one to, erm, make the most of the stipulation. Common sense suggests that this contest should have had a more exciting add-on to truly establish it as a feud-ender, or at least to have switched this match around with the one from the previous event. However, those days in WWE are gone, and instead we had the basic match here to follow the stip bout from three weeks ago.
