Very good drama in this main event, but they could have shaved off about 5-10 minutes from this and been just as good. Reigns looks like a totally dominating heel here. #WWEClash

Overall this was a fine show… but yet another COVID-19 outbreak overshadowing the card kind of brings it down for me. Two matches either changed or canceled. In the midst of all this, they bring Ric Flair into the danger zone. Bad move on that part. #WWEClash
