1. "Thank You, Brock!"

Cards on the table: Brock Lesnar did business and delivered exactly what was needed in establishing Oba Femi as a legit threat. The build to their match was nearly perfect, with Brock doing his part to put the feud over.

But for f**k's sake, fans chanting “Thank you, Brock" when he took off his gloves and boots was just about the worst thing. After all, Lesnar was ostracized from WWE for nearly two years after being named more than 40 times in a lawsuit former employee Janel Grant filed against Vince McMahon and WWE, alleging sexual abuse and human trafficking.

In reality, he should have just disappeared and vanished into the ether forever.

To everyone chanting their thanks to Brock, have some pride, people.

Also, it’s worth noting that Brock got a bigger sendoff in presumably retiring than Goldberg, so expect to hear Bill complain about that soon.
