Through which he was (very) obviously carried and needed extended rest periods.
great match with Brock
In which he needed extended rest periods and was a match that was hugely dependent on the rather unique WrestleMania atmosphere.
very good TV matches with Sheamus and Harper
Nope not very good.
Bray's best match in over a year at Battleground
Which still wasn't especially good.
Big Show's best match in three or more years at Extreme Rules

a litany of classics as part of the Shield.
Where he was protected by working with two very talented performers (not to mention the opponents).
He actually looks like he's fighting too - high impact, great strikes and good bumps. I'd much prefer to watch a great Reigns match than senseless spotfu. That tag tonight was getting pretty damn good before the inference as well.
And what did Reigns actually do in the tag match tonight? Very little (again).
Also I'm not engaging with the strawman of 'I'd prefer this to something you haven't mentioned or held up as great'.
Is it really hard to sort out the mess that is the divas? Just follow how it is done on NXT. Build up say 3/4 divas at a time, put them in good singles feuds and work from there. Give them storylines that people actually care about and off you go.
It is not hard. But no, lets keep doing this stupid 6/9 diva tag shit every week.
When Miz (who's been on fire as a dick heel for a long time now) is the most likable person in a segment there are serious problems. Also when The Miz (who has been on fire for months at this point) can't save a segment you have serious problems. That whole thing was a train wreck.

I feel you're being way too kind.
"Wins and losses who cares?" Vince's new philosophy.

I thought Brie did fantastic in that segment.
She nearly forgot her words getting in the ring and became distracted by the "we want Sasha" chants. She didn't do fantastic at all.
