They're already going after that market with the Bellas, who are supposed to be heels

Jordan/Gable still can be easily slotted into a tag title feud as the Dusty Classic winners aren't going to figure into it so it's a blank slate. And the tournament has done a good job at getting them tv time and the fan reactions to them will surely be noticed. I don't see any reason to worry about them.

As well, the mechanics beat the current champs and have a claim on a title shot. I thought the tournament did a good job of showing off Gable/Jordan and the Mechanics.

The odds of Bayley making any impact on the main roster while Vince and Bucky Beaver are in charge are not good. Obviously she has something special, but I don't have a good feeling about how much people in charge other than Triple H really are interested in her.

I'm definitely not worried, those two have an amazing presence in the ring. I should have figured they wouldn't win, but I at least expected them in the finals. The Mechanics showed out huge, too, and I expect them to be a major part of the tag team scene soon.

I know Big Dave said this too, but as much as I love Bayley (and I *love* Bayley), Sasha has the potential to a massive star and not just "for a Diva."

They'll both be amazing.

This. Sasha is going to be the mega star that breaks through beyond "diva."

Sasha is a ridiculously good wrestler. She gets the "little things" that elevate a match from good to great - her last-minute Banks Statement, for example.

The only possible complaint I could have about Bayley/Sasha's style of matches is some of it's a little sloppy and they seem to spend a good half of the match glued to the turnbuckle but really it's good that they wrestle different.


Funny that the faces won 5/6 matches tonight and people are still mad about the one the heels won.

I reluctantly agree, this match was amazing but there are a lot of little things that are messy that I have trouble overlooking. On an emotional level this could be MOTY, but on a technical and overall level I couldn't really give it my vote.

I can see Bayley maybe pushing it a little too far while running on adrenaline for the finish.

Sasha will be fine, theyre just fingers.

I think Bayley's character is gonna be what makes her a huge star. She appeals to everyone and that's really difficult. Men, women, and little kids adore her and being able to draw in girls of all ages is amazing. Sasha's got great appeal and will probably be a better worker, but I just think Bayley's potential is off the chart.

I'm still shocked she managed to not kill her neck on that early armdrag. Glad too, as that would have really destroyed their plans for the whole match.

Naw, the heels and faces don't have to be pure good and pure evil. Having Bayley get her rear end kicked for most of the match is a stupid way of moving forward since Bayley is going to be the one keeping the division alive as it rebuilds.

I don't mind whatever tiny heel streak they're hinting at with Bayley but wins feel more important when the heel is more credible. People know and expect that heroic qualities are more intangible. I'm not saying have Bayley take a piledriver on the concrete and then get up and beat the Nexus, just make the odds look a little more daunting.

Bayley has the most potential since CM Punk and it is not even close.

putting over bayley strong at the small cost of making sasha not seem like a completely dominant heel seems sensible when one of these people is going to no longer be on the show

Jordan has always shown ridiculous power (did tonight in Rhyno too) but this match was Gable's coming out party. Corbin is not a small dude and the crowd went nuts for that spot.

If they handle him right, the sky is the limit because he clearly is a natural in the ring.
