Saw the recaps on PWTorch. So this is what the great Bryan Danielson has been reduced to: jobbing in four seconds. I mean, I know he's become an annoying heel, but COME ON!

Supposedly the rumor going around is that WWE wanted to set a new "record" for the fastest title match in history (WWE history anyways) and they didn't even do that right! The Kane/Chavo Guerrero match from (I think) WM 26 was 8 seconds long I believe.

In hindsight I don't think this match buries Daniel Bryan in the least actually. Plus, it makes Sheamus look just as bad in that he hit one move and blamo it's over (he really needs a better finishing move by now) if you think about it. For Bryan, it will continue his heel path quite well I think, I mean it's obvious they are gonna go with him blaming AJ over this etc among other things.

well just seen it, won't go match by match but will say this!

  • Rock winning was a shocker, where now for Cena? back on the title hunt? or rematch time?
  • Bryan losing was funny actually more then stupid...feel sorry for the losers who wrote yes in the crowd! :p
  • Taker/HHH stole the night...the match had me on the edge of my seat but come on Taker its 20-0 end there!
  • no lesnar made me laugh because half way through the show I thought they will keep it for Raw
  • finally...finally...SOMEBODY BETTER CALL YOUR MAMA

  • no lesnar made me laugh because half way through the show I thought they will keep it for Raw

I had a sneaking suspicion that Lesnar was gonna interfere in Rock/Cena, as when Rock made his entrance, he was jumping around exactly like Lesnar used to do in his entrance. :p

Rock-Cena match: I was at the edge of my seat to see these two start their fight. It was a good match. When Cena delivered the AA, I though it is over. I clearly knew that Cena would win this match. Rock's win shocked me!

HHH vs Taker: I do not know why this match happened so early at at show. It should be the last match or the second last because this is the match that stole the complete show. It was an amazing match with a lot on the line. I knew Taker would win the match. The last moments were really the moments which you see once in a lifetime when HHH Taker and HBK, all three were hugging and displaying the show of respect.

Till the last moments of WM28, I was waiting for Lesnar. I thought he would come after Rock's win!

Brock's Return on RAW: Haven't seen it yet. But it is really game changing for WWE. Now we know:

John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 29.

Regarding the Ziggler gif, he's probably the best at selling in the WWE at the moment. But i think he sells too much and i think it's stopping him going to the next level because they use him to make others look good.

Epico and Primo ? vs. Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd vs. The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso)

(Right.)

The Rock vs. John Cena

Even though there have been rumors in this thread about a rematch, still going with Cena even though The Rock has been my favorite of all time

(Wrong)Im glad I was wrong on this one :p

This actually was a decent match. I was indeed surprised by both (yes, BOTH, of them). Good matchup and like mentioned, there will problably be a rematch.

Triple H vs. The Undertaker

(Right) Very good match. Emotional roller coaster IMO. The wrestling was pretty much nothing but....

And thank you Triple H. Thank you for giving a big **** YOU to the "no blading" rule. About time someone got busted wide open (which I knew at least one of them would do it for US the fans...)

Also Im glad JR called this one. It was a classic and needed to be commentated by someone with proper skills. This also might mean one (or two) of two things:

1: JR is leaving for good and he wanted this to be his last match

2: The streak ends next year.

I make these points because why on earth would the WWE bring out a commenter for only ONE match? I know it was suppose to be epic but....

CM Punk ? vs. Chris Jericho

(Right)Best wrestling match of the night. Period.

Daniel Bryan ? vs. Sheamus

(Wrong)Im 12 and what was this?

Cody Rhodes ? vs. The Big Show

(Right) on this one :)

Randy Orton vs. Kane

(Right) No comment

Team Teddy (Santino Marella (captain), R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali, and Booker T) (with Hornswoggle) vs. Team Johnny (David Otunga (captain), Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, The Miz, and Drew McIntyre) (with Vickie Guerrero)

(Right) Including who got the pinfall

Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos vs. Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres The most stupid match of the night. At least make Beth defender her title against someone decent or who could care her out (ex: Kharma)

(Right)

Anybody else getting the feeling that Cena is gonna take a bit of a break now?

I actually think this would be a good idea because I find his current character quite stale now; he could have a bit of time off, be repackaged, and return with some sort of new (and interesting) gimmick. I doubt that will happen (and it probably wouldn't be a very good business decision), but I think it should happen :p

The reason why WWE brought him out is because HHH, HBK and The Undertaker all specifically requested him to call this match, and the WWE upper management agreed and brought him out.

Really didn't think they would make The Rock lose in his hometown, so I'm not surprised by his win, but it was a risk to put him over Cena, who despite the negative crowd reactions, still is and will still be for a while to come, the top guy in the WWE. Maybe, that is the reason they let him lose, because he'll still be the main guy win or lose. Either way, it was a great match.

Also, truly fitting end to the Undertaker's career. 20-0 at Wrestlemania. Another great match by the 3 legends, but, Hell in a Cell matches are pointless on the PG-13 WWE product. This type of match needs 4 things. Mick Foley, thumb tacks, blood and a 2x4 wrapped in barb wire! :p

I was really disappointed to see Daniel Bryan (and Sheamus) screwed out of a match. The pointless Divas getting more time on the biggest stage of them all was just ridiculous. Even the entrance of the Hell in a Cell cage was longer than the World Title match. Just shows what Vince thinks of the "WCW" Title! Also, what happened to the stipulation that the winner of the Royal Rumble goes to the "Main Event" of Wrestlemania?

The Rock to be WWE Champion? Surprise winner of the Rumble maybe? Goes on to face the champion at WM29?

    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it.

    • Microsoft Weekly: Xbox exclusives are back, big Windows app updates, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here. Microsoft is returning to XBOX exclusives, Windows 11 gets new preview builds, the Low-latency Profile is here, big updates for inbox Windows apps, Patch Tuesday updates, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are now publicly available. Windows 11 users can download KB5094126, which introduces plenty of new features and security updates, including the Low-latency Profile for better performance, shared Bluetooth audio support, and more. Windows 10 users with PCs enrolled in the Extended Security Update program can download KB5094127. In addition, Microsoft released new Defender updates for its operating systems. Speaking of Defender, Microsoft will now deliver EDR updates via Microsoft Update for faster security improvements independent of Patch Tuesday updates. Following the release of this month's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft also published new Windows 11 images available in the Media Creation Tool app. Now, you can create bootable USB media for clean Windows 11 installations with the latest releases. Some unfortunate stuff is going on with certain PCs from Dell and HP. Dell acknowledged that the SupportAssist bug causes black screens of death, while HP systems are suffering from Secure Boot update issues and boot loops. Both companies issued official advisories. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 29610.1000 and 28120.2302 This week's "Canary" builds only contain performance improvements and fixes, including the Low-latency mode, which is now available in the Stable channel for all Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 users. Dev Channel Build 26300.8687 Microsoft brought some useful File Explorer changes with this build. You can now open folders in a new tab by middle-clicking them in the address bar. Beta Channel Build 26220.8680 and 28020.2298 Screen Tint, improved Windows Widgets, and other enhancements are included in this week's Beta releases. Release Preview Channel Builds 26200.8728 and 26100.8728 These builds also feature better widgets, new Windows Update controls, point-in-time restore, File Explorer improvements, and more.

Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Google has some bad news for those still using MV2-based extensions in Chromium-based browsers, particularly Chrome. The company is now removing flags responsible for Manifest V2-based extensions (uBlock Origin is one of the most popular). However, some browsers resist this change, and Opera issued a statement that it will allow users to continue using MV2 extensions for as long as possible. While Microsoft is still not ready to share new details about MV2 extensions in Microsoft Edge, the company shared important details about the way it will be updating the browser going forward. Now, Microsoft wants to update Edge every two weeks across all platforms instead of the current four-week schedule (only the Extended Stable is exempt from this change). This week, Microsoft confirmed a useful new Teams feature that is coming to the messenger soon. It also detailed all the improvements that made the platform better for users in 2026. However, not all changes are great, as the company is moving ahead with the check-in feature, which many believe will lead to employee monitoring. PowerToys received a feature update this week. Version 0.100 arrived with a big rework for the Shortcut Guide, a new extension gallery for Command Palette, new Dock features, and plenty of other changes.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker reviewed a rather unorthodox device here on Neowin this week. He took for a spin the DWARF mini, the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures. It tracks objects in the sky, has a sun filter, and has a low learning curve. There is also nice build quality and a quite affordable price. Pulasthi Ariyasinghe reviewed 007 First Light. The game turned out to be a satisfying spy adventure in the James Bond universe with great gunplay and combat, impressive crowds, over-the-top action sequences, and more. There are a few quirks here and there, but overall, the game scored high on our scale.

    • Microsoft Flight Simulator's City Update 15 enhances Midwest cities by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The third major city update of the year has landed for the original Microsoft Flight Simulator and the 2024 release. The latest drop is upgrading the visuals and regional accuracy of three metropolitan regions in the American states of Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The 15th city update is adding eight new areas of interest that have been enhanced with high-fidelity TIN (triangulated irregular network) surface texturing in the mentioned regions. The free update highlights Chicago, Elgin, Cicero, and Arlington Heights in Illinois, as well as Minneapolis, St. Paul, Bloomington, Duluth, Brooklyn Park, Woodbury, Lakeville, Plymouth, and Blaine in Minnesota. In Wisconsin, the development has also upgraded the lands and buildings of Milwaukee, Madison, and Racine. The update lands just as one of the world's largest enthusiast flight simulation conventions, FlightSimExpo, kicks off in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, on June 14. The Flight Sim development team's 40-minute keynote at the event can be watched here. At the same time, Microsoft is bringing the 6-seat, single-engine, multi-use light civil airplane Piper M600 into the game as a part of its Expert Series 2 program. This premium plane can be purchased from the in-game marketplace for $24.99. City Update 15: The United States Midwest is now available in Microsoft Flight Simulator, as well as the newer Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, as an optional download. It can be accessed across Steam and the Microsoft Store for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, as well as Xbox and PC Game Pass subscriptions. Xbox One, mobile, and PC players can also jump into the new content using Xbox Cloud Gaming if they have a Game Pass Ultimate membership. The game must be updated to the latest version to download this free update from the in-game marketplace.
