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.

  • 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

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?

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This has been on the roadmap for years, nothing really new here. This is one of the few areas where Microsoft is making Windows better. Universal print is a very good things and so far works as expected. The last step is ending the option for 3rd parties to add traditional custom drivers. It is somewhat of a hurdle, but it is for a long-term good. The downside is that printer manufactures are likely going to use this as an excuse to force users onto new printers. Considering this roadmap has been public for years, then printers sold during that time should be covered...but I'm sure they will have a different opinion.
    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Where are you seeing that? It seems hard to believe considering nothing in the Apple ecosystem gets that level of access, and the same for Android unless you put some kind of custom rooted image on the phone. It just seems like asking for something that hasn't ever been given to anyone, is a stupid strategy; it's going to be an automatic 'no'.
