Also I still have no idea why they set up a situation where Eva Marie and Lana charged each other like age-old enemies, when I don't recall ever seeing them interact at all.

It was also frustrating to hear Sempervive talk about how he doesn't believe they wanted a face pop based on how the other wrestlers in the ring are reacting to her, which is true. There's nothing really, other than Dave saying so, that indicates they thought she was going to get a positive response. Of course, instead of addressing the point, Bryan just reiterates the same thing again as if that proves anything.

Also had to laugh at Bryan making GBS threads on Ambrose showing up on Raw, then proudly proclaims how he 'fixed' the segment without even thinking about it, something Dave proves moments later when he points out that Bryan's plan involves Ambrose coming down to the ring, giving Lesnar all of his weapons and then leaving empty handed.

Eva is the type of wrestler who's booked like a heel but gets go away heat rather than proper heel heet. see: The Gangstaz in Smoky Mountain

For whatever it is worth Lana was apparently upset that Eva Marie upstaged her on Raw. It WAS Lana's angle before Eva Marie appeared and stole all the attention. Their interactions on Sunday might be something to see or dirtsheet fodder.

For what it's worth Squared Circle Sirens is saying that's bullshit: http://squaredcirclesirens.com/backstage-news-on-eva-maries-return/

I think they're considered a trustworthy source in this sort of thing, but Big Trev would know better than me.

Casey (who runs the site) knows a lot of the Divas as he used to go to FCW shows a lot and was in communication with some of them that day.

The Divas division is so weird and quirky and there's the blurred line truth wise due to Total Divas confidentiality it had be hard to get to the actual truth. But I don't recall Casey being kayfabed or misled by his friends there.

Surprised to see no much talk about this as Dean mumbles and swears his way through the interview. Not really face of the company stuff.

Why should Lana be upset? She's like in the opposite position of Eva Marie: should be treated as a heel, but the fans cheer her as a face more often. She and Brie are probably the only people in the 10 diva tag match who could get face heat right now. Eva Marie being in just means the crowd is going to want the Total Divas to get crushed.

Yeah. Because he knows that he won't ever be the face of the company. Especially with the way he hasn't been protected at all in how he's been booked. It's Roman or bust at this point.

This was pretty obvious on Tuesday's show when he didn't understand how "anybody" could keep getting pulled over (talking about Jon Jones) when he (Dave) breaks the law all the time and hasn't been pulled over in ten years.

Dave's old timey wrestling detour was one of the longest Meltzer soliloquies in a while, I think. Bryan could have gone and played with the cats for like 10 minutes.

It was amazing. Only Dave can take a quick note about how Sailor Art Thomas wasn't really a hall of famer and turn it into a 10 minute monologue on the career of Bearcat Wright.
