Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com reviewed the subject on Wrestling Observer Radio. “That was the plan [open challenge]. The open challenge was supposed to happen till the last minute. Vince changed the first 30 minutes of the show…I heard, was totally changed. Vince really wanted this whole Seth Rollins angle with Finn Balor. I think he just wanted something big, something bigger for Seth Rollins and Finn Balor, because I think it’s just to heat up Finn Balor.”
“To be fair, I know people who are there who told me, ‘Look, as far as the 30 minutes that Vince put in, it was better than the 30 minutes that was taken out’. So whatever that means. They worked really hard at building Seth Rollins-Finn Balor.” Added Meltzer
