WWE Presents: Beast In The East Review

WWE Presents: Beast In The East

A very fun, enjoyable show and something different from WWE. 

 Chris Jericho vs Neville

Fantastic way to open the show. At 44 years old, Chris Jericho can still go, my god. Neville, as always, was on fire. Many cool spots throughout the match, especially the Super Liontamer and Tope Moonsault. A lot of fun to watch. (***3/4) 

 Nikki Bella vs Paige vs Tamina Snuka - WWE Divas Championship

Far better than the triple threat from Elimination Chamber involving Naomi. Naomi is just too green to be taken seriously as a championship contender in my view. Not too much can be said about this match other than it was an improvement over others in recent weeks and Paige looked hot as hell. (**) 

 Brock Lesnar vs Kofi Kingston

What did Kofi do to deserve this? Absolute murder from Lesnar. Destroyed Kofi in just over a minute, and that isn't even the worst part - Big E and Xavier were rekt too. Makes me sad to see 3 very talented men be treated like that. Regardless, at least Brock looked strong. (Not going to rate since it was only a minute long) 

 Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor - NXT Championship

Match of the night, without a doubt. Balor absolutely deserved this win. Owens built up some good heel heat, and the whole payoff with Finn fighting back to achieve his dream in the country that made him famous felt great. Awesome match. Kevin almost made me squeal with the Package Piledriver setup. (****) 

John Cena and Dolph Ziggler vs King Barrett and Kane

Despite the fact that people complained about this match being too long, it was fine for a tag team match, and something different since Barrett was included. The Japanese fans love John Cena, and it was nice to see them showing him some respect. Good ending to a very good, enjoyable night, ahem, morning. (***) Overall, this was a good show. Different, fun, and above all else, enjoyable. Overall, I give it ***3/4.
