Commentary acknowledged the chants and made jokes about the situation. Discussions about the Rhodes ordeal throughout the night featured commentary talking about how controversial it was, with mentions of pro-Rhodes tweets trending over the weekend.

It was a busy night. Check out how things went both Friday and Monday:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that WWE had to do at some point. The idea of ignoring everything that was going on was not going to work and WWE seems to understand that they had to do something. I’m curious to see where all of this goes, but it does not seem that the story is going to be over anytime soon. We could be in for a very interesting Road To WrestleMania and that is the best thing possible.
