Also, thoughts on New Day, A.J. Styles, Jeff Hardy, and more. Also, Keller is joined by two on-site correspondents including a fan who hasn&#8217;t attended a WWE TV event before and hasn&#8217;t seen Becky Lynch&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 100px;\" src=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/embed\/player\/t127495991\/\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">-On Tune In Radio <a href=\"http:\/\/tun.in\/tiRgC1\">HERE<\/a><br \/>\n-On Apple Podcasts <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-show\/id1340490567?mt=2\">HERE<\/a><br \/>\n-Or <strong>search &#8220;Wade Keller&#8221;<\/strong> on your podcast app of choice<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Attendance: Lower bowl was mostly full, but not close to packed.

Styles &amp; Jeff Hardy beat Samoa Joe &amp; Randy Orton when Hardy pinned Joe after a Twist of Fate and a standing Swanton. It would\u2019ve been nice to see it off the top rope. That was strange. Short match, maybe five minutes.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-789639569\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>OTHER NOTES<\/b><\/p>\n<p>-Becky Lynch got a very good babyface reaction when she first came out, but at first it felt a level lower than a red-hot breakout star for some reason. I was a tad disappointed, but it was still a strong reaction.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Later in the night when Becky came out, that pop was the pop I was expectiing at the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>-When Charlotte came out at the start right after Becky, she was cheered pretty loudly, just a small step below Becky. There were \u201cwooos\u201d in there. When she came out later, she was pretty universally booed other than some \u201cwooos.\u201d So the promo seemed to turn people against her since she bad-mouthed Becky.<\/p>\n<p>-Compared to other top babyfaces, Becky got the best pop at the end of the night. The only one that maybe could have taken her on was Asuka when she came out for the battle royal. People were really, really excited to see Asuka. The way she\u2019s been treated this year, it\u2019s surprising, but she\u2019s had a resurgence the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>-The top five pops were Becky, Asuka, Jeff Hardy, Charlotte at the beginning, and then A.J. Styles and Rey Mysterio. People were excited to see Styles, but it wasn\u2019t best of the night.<\/p>\n<p>-The entire battle royal, fans were cheering against anyone who tried to eliminate Asuka. It was the Asuka Battle Royal. When it was down to Sonya Deville and Asuka, the place got electric.<\/p>\n<p>-Regarding New Day, no one\u2019s heart was invested in the outcome of the match, but fans were entertained. My friend C.J. who has never seen New Day before was entertained by them because it was fresh to him. For me, it felt like the millionth time seeing the same act and the reactions seems to be dropping for many fans.<\/p>\n<p>-It seemed the crowd liked the Jeff Hardy video; it was all big highspots. There were a lot of cheers during memorable spots. People were clapping and cheering when it ended. I think some people thought it\u2019d be a retirement announcement.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1037871996\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-When Michael Cole came out to host the Hardy segment, he came out in the dark, so fans didn\u2019t have a chance to react.<\/p>\n<p>-Mixed Match Challenge was fun. We were all hoping Curt Hawkins would get the win.<\/p>\n<p>-There were a lot of Becky Lynch \u201cThe Man\u201d t-shirts, plus John Cena and A.J. Styles. Then a big mix of the rest.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>If you attend a live event, please send results in the format of the following report to <a href=\"mailto:pwtorch@pwtorch.com\">pwtorch@pwtorch.com<\/a>.
