This episode is going to be known for one thing, the intercontinental championship tournament finals match and that encounter tore the house down.
As far as how I feel about this show overall, it was a decent show.
Is This One Of The Most Controversial Scenes In The History Of WWE?
Look. Getting that line of "one of the most controversial segments in WWE history" isn't exactly rare but first, let me describe this segment. Sheamus wouldn't sign the contract unless Jeff takes a piss test.
Hardy accepts it saying that he's going to be a beacon of light for anyone struggling with addiction.
While Hardy was doing his business, Sheamus gave a public service announcement telling the kids watching at home that simply, don't be like Jeff.

After Hardy was done, he splashed Sheamus with his own urine and the Celtic Warrior was, drum roll please…………………., pissed (I'm so awful). Is it the most controversial segment ever?
Hell no. However, I have one nitpick for this. Why were the results of the test brought up AFTER Jeff shoved Sheamus with his urine?
That opening act of the show would've made some sense had the results were announced before the urine spot. I know, it's a minor issue but for some reason, it really bothered me. I’m not a fan of this rivalry and this segment visually explained it why.
The New Day vs Shinsuke Nakamura And Cesaro.
Kofi Kingston and Big E are great. That is all. Oh, and they lost via an inside cradle to Kofi from Shinsuke Nakamura. An okay match.
While Heavy Machinery were talking about their upcoming match, Jeff Hardy and Sheamus were brawling with each other.
Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles. Intercontinental Championship Tournament Finals.
There were reports going around the Internet that Styles and Bryan had a classic or a match of the year contender?
The question is, was it a classic or a match of the year contender? The answer is quite simple, IT'S GOOD!
Styles' arm was on the ring apron and Bryan stomped it which looked brutal af.

Moments later, Daniel did a double arm hook slam followed by an armbar to which Styles reversed it into the calf crusher. What a sequence that was.
AJ hits the styles clash and then the phenomenal forearm to win this match and becomes the first-ever Intercontinental champion. Now, we know why he was traded back to the house that he built.
I feel like Styles was playing in Bryan's element in the sense that AJ has to work a technical style (no pun intended) in order to execute a great match like that.
In a backstage promo, Braun Strowman has no problem destroying Heavy Machinery if they try to cash in for his universal championship even though he likes Otis.
Bayley and Sasha Banks Women's Tag Championship Celebration.
You read the title, it was indeed a celebration. Bayley was so excited that she fooled Michael Cole thinking that he was getting a selfie from them. That moment had me dying bruh.
That celebration was cut really short as Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross showed up as well as The IIconics via the titantron of course. That led to a mugging between Bliss, Cross, Banks and Bayley.
A decent segment. Can I just say that Bayley is a great heel? Oh, people already know that? Okay.
Matt Riddle is going to debut on the blue brand as early as next week. Should be interesting.
Braun Strowman And Heavy Machinery vs Dolph Ziggler, The Miz And John Morrison.
A meh main event. The babyface team won the match with the caterpillar from Otis to Dolph Ziggler.So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:
Like: Styles vs Bryan. Intercontinental Championship Tournament Finals.
Didn't like: The opening segment.
