Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

Has Baszler signed a contract with the company? I wonder if there is any interest in Shayna if Ronda were not a factor at all.

Dave seems to think she has signed, but she is also still holding at least one title in an indy promotion, and she wont be defending it before the finals I think. So :iiam:

Also I doubt there would be any interest in her at all if she wasnt friends with Ronda.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

She was doing okay in STARDOM but fans will probably turn immediately on her if they think for a second that she's getting a push just so Stephanie can politic for Rousey. Especially when put against such a natural babyface like Hojo

But that's not something that Shayna can really control.

drat it, Stephanie.

It's not, and Shayna's a pretty cool person on her own but in the end she could just end up being a tool to get her friend which is really lovely for everyone involved except Stephanie McMahon and Rhonda Rousey.

It sounds like they're doing NXT Horsewomen vs MMA Horsewomen at some point in the future, leading to Ronda vs either Charlotte or Stephanie (who started the women's revolution and is responsible for all good things that have happened for all women in the world). I could see the latter being at mania if the former happens sometime soon, like at survivor series or something like that. If not, maybe they'll stretch it into a multi-year ordeal?

You're giving a lot of credit to a pet project that a McMahon has in any modern era.

They should replace the NXT Women's title with an Intergender title. There's NO reason why Aliyah can't beat Allister Black.

The title has just been vacated. There is a big women's tournament tournament happening in the same time frame. It makes immediate sense to have that tournament be for the title. The "burying" is another instance of frustrated marks hiding behind smarky terms to make their fanboyism sound like analysis.

EDIT: in any instance I hope they don't use a battle royal. It's such a random and messy a match to determine a champ.

I'm an unapologetic mark for Peyton because she was hilarious and very entertaining in a match at the NXT house show we got last year. I'd love to see her get a short reign.

Yes, because who would want to see Cena and Joe do an extended program. They've never managed to get the people invested in a PPV match with short notice. :rolleyes:

And why save Reigns beating Cena for Survivor Series or the Rumble when it can be the undercard on a Raw B-show.

Because despite being a big 4 show, Survivor Series is kind of treated like poo poo by WWE

Also tbf they probably should have big matches on B-Shows sometimes to reduce churn, or try to.

Braun vs Brock IS a big match, though! And give Cena and Joe some promo time and that match could be huge too! It just reeks of either Cena being so close to out the door that they're panicking and rushing through all the 'dream' matches, or Vince not thinking there's any money in Nakamura/Cena or Joe/Cena.

I'll give you that, I was more referring to the B-Show logic in general.

So in the latest wrestling observer newsletter, Dave stated that the reason the RAW Womens Title is being defended in a Fatal Four Way is because WWE "isn't ready to give away" Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss as a singles matchup, but Nia vs Alexa in a singles match for the title is still the big plan down the line. :psyduck:

Going to be 100% serious here: I don't know many people who are (unironically) excited for Nia vs Alexa in singles action. Unless you are into matches that have the potential to be absolutely awful.

So does that mean Alexa is retaining then? Emma is only there to eat the pin I'd assume

If they channel Sting/Vader or Awesome Kong/Gail Kim then that might be interesting, but I have zero faith the match won't fall the hell apart.

And who the gently caress are we supposed to cheer for anyway? How did WWE get so hot and bothered for a heel vs. heel program between an average-at-best worker and an actively terrible one?

Nia has yet to show any real qualities as a proper monster beyond hurting people and while Alexa has improved greatly I don't think she can carry her. Add in the fact the booking seems to want Alexa to be the face and welp, you got all the makings of a train wreck of a match.

I'm not an Alexa fan, but even I think turning her face will be a terrible mistake. She'll either be boring (Rollins), or turn into a mom joke dispenser (Triple H, Jericho).

Up until this point, Alexa was the one manipulating Nia, so you'd think that makes her the face, but it's not like that makes any sense either.
