Fallout (2016)
Fallout 2016 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WDW. It took place on May 29, 2016, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.[1] It was the fourth event under the Fallout chronology. Twelve matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Mister Who defeated Ray Lethal in a Singles match to retain the WDW Championship. The event has received a mixed reaction from critics.

Background
WDW has first announced the initial date for Fallout on May 1, 2016, at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. However, they later announced that the event had to be switched dates and venues with Killing Jokes.

Reception
Critics gave a mixed-to-positive reception to the show, generally praising firstly the Intercontinental Championship four-way and secondly the main event WWE World Heavyweight Championship match and its post-match happenings, but the rest of the show was not as well received. The high amount of punishment AJ Styles received during the main event was also highlighted.

James Caldwell of Pro Wrestling Torch said that it was "unfortunate there were so many finisher kick-outs on this show, but that seems to be the trend these days". Caldwell rated the four-way match the best of the show at 4.5 stars out of 5, commenting that "strong build-up" resulted in a "strong title match", with further positives including that the "Owens-Zayn feud was enhanced, Cesaro's amazing in-ring skills were captured, and Miz's post-Mania resurgence continued". The next-best rated match was the main event at 3.75 stars: a "very physical, PPV main event-worthy battle continuing to build up Styles's strong first year in WWE. Reigns plays the part well of a PPV main-eventer when matched up with the right opponent, like Styles, but not someone like Sheamus." Also, Styles took a "crazy amount of punishment" during the match. The rest of the matches of the event were less well received, being rated either 2.25 or 2.5 stars. Corbin's pre-show performance showed he had "a lot of work to do to belong" on the main roster; the Tornado tag match was rushed and "disorganized"; Rusev winning the U.S. Championship was a positive; the tag title match was mostly a "basic TV-quality action" except for a "good nearfall for The Vaudevillains"; while the Asylum match had a "good" finish, but was dragged down by "an overly-gimmicky WWE cage match concept" and the "middle portion [being] a big struggle trying to follow the four-way".[19]

Jack de Menezes of The Independent praised the Intercontinental title match, the main event and Seth Rollins' return, but "elsewhere there was little to shout about, with matches either ending too short or lacking the thrills that ended the night". The four-way was "frantic" and "one of the matches of the year" that highlighted the Miz being "crafty" with "all his underhand tactics" en route to retaining the title, as well as the "hatred" between Zayn and Owens. Later, the "brilliant" main event was the duo's "second epic battle in less than a month", leading to the show ending with Rollins' "long-awaited return" as the crowd erupted into cheers - this was contrasted with Reigns' "frosty reception". The Asylum "match slowed down too often whenever either man tried to get a new weapon", with de Menezes hoping Jericho and Ambrose's "drawn out rivalry" ended at Extreme Rules. For the tag title match, the Vaudevillains "put in their best performance to date since moving up to the main roster". Finally, Rusev, Anderson and Gallows dominated their respective matches, while Baron Corbin provided "a show of brute strength and craftiness".[22]

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer wrote that the Intercontinental title match "tore down the house" as a "super match with tons of near falls and saves", and "Cesaro and Zayn in particular were great." The main event was "another super match", as "Styles had a death wish taking some crazy and I mean crazy bumps including a high backdrop through a table where he landed on his tailbone". Then, the "crowd went totally nuts for [Rollins] as a babyface" in the post-match segment. Kalisto-Rusev was "good", with WWE "pushing like Kalisto was injured at the end, and was coming into the match injured". The women's match was poorer than Payback's and meant to "elevate Dana Brooke", with Meltzer feeling that the long-term plan is "putting Charlotte and Dana Brooke into a duo to eventually set them up as rivals". The tag matches were both "short", the first match seeing the crowd support going to Anderson and Gallows instead of the Usos. The short matches led to a "weird match" that was "just too long" between Ambrose and Jericho. The Asylum match "didn't have much heat for a long time" and was "hurt following such a great" four-way. However, Ambrose and Jericho did "pick it up at the end", with Jericho "selling [the thumbtacks] tremendously" for the finish.[21]

Kenny Herzog of Rolling Stone criticized Extreme Rules as most of its match "outcomes were far from shocking"; also, it had a "dated" title and for "its namesake stipulation" failed to "really lord its influence over the card". Herzog highlighted the Asylum match as a "prop-comedy disaster" that was "unsurprisingly, utterly inane", but it was "Jericho, tacks and all, who rescued this clunker from meaninglessness by giving it his unquestioned all". Meanwhile, Herzog could not understand "WWE's insistence on shading Ambrose as more goofy than gritty". Another disappointment was the women's match for having a "bizarre, forced finish", as Brooke's "arbitrary shift in allegiances rings pretty hollow". Herzog also hoped that Natalya would not fade into "irrelevance after helping carry the post-WrestleMania malaise". Meanwhile, the finish of the tag title match was "a bit cockamamie, and the opening tornado-rules contest was ho-hum". Herzog still found positives in the show: the four-way was "perfect" with a "multitude of near-falls and clever finish" while everyone gave their "best". Also, AJ Styles, "more than any other latter-career migrant to Vince McMahon's big top, has expeditiously qualified himself as a main-eventer", having displayed "world-class" skills in the ring and taken "some Hall of Fame bumps". Then, the "rousing return" at the end of the show resulted in "the torch of Heavyweight was cannily passed from super-sub A.J. to present- and future-stud Seth Rollins".[23]
